CABALSEA:F2P Or P2P(Debate)Showdown
-
I will start the ball rolling....
____________________________________________________________
F2P=Free to play --- P2P=Pay to play
_________________________________________________________
For me,my stand is that CABALSEA should not become a P2P GAME.
You can take a real-Life Model:Granado Espada...Althought now still have some people willing to pay to play but think again....Before Granado Espada become a P2P Game...1/2 of my classmate play this game...but after hearing that it become a P2P...almost all quit.....
Playing a ONLINE GAME with Friends....LIFE IS SO BORING!
Beside this,Being F2P would be good as the previous GAME Like Maplestory....Alot of people SPAMMING Megaphone=ASIASOFT earning Money
Juz compare the amount of people that willing to pay for such game...they rather go play WOW....better in many ways....like they trained so dun want waste time to play CABAL
With F2P system,It can attract More people to play and juz like MAPLESTORY,everyone start to play this game and some RICHER or Younger Kids can get the money from their Parent to buy A-Cash to become a STRONGER person in CABAL....compare to P2P....Not much people willing to Pay to play...as there are still some game alike to CABAL and FREE.
I had did a Survey on my classmate and friends....out of 150,only 10willing to Pay to play CABAL....One of my friend said that:"Cabal is fun...look cool but if P2P,i rather go play back my WOW...which i trained for a long time!"
Granado Espada once become a P2P and eventually no one play and become a F2P again!
Therefore,I conclude that if CABAL become a P2P,lesser people will play=No Profit for asiasoft!

under asiasoft they should make it f2p..
but with ro2 coming out, i dun see how many will be playing cabal. -
ro2 is more of a cute-type game like maplestory
while cabal is more of a cool-charater, skills type of game
i would go for cabal though
-

u play WoW - u paying money to asiasoft
u play cabalsea - still paying money to asiasoft, unless f2p then u pay onli if u buy cash items
u play ro2 - still pay to asiasoft -.-
onli granado espada asiasoft lose. -
Here's what F2P and P2P REALLY means.
P2P = A community for MOSTLY adults.
F2P = A community for MOSTLY kids.
Catch my drift? CABAL-SEA will hopefully be P2P, but looking at how the European server is going, I'm guessing that Asiasoft will follow suit and be F2P with plenty of in-game cash items. ( Which foolish kids never fail to waste their money on ) Take a look at Maplestory, how many kids actually spammed their money on Gachapons, Megaphones, Clothes ,etc? I'd say, too many.
Indeed, they are earning money, but I would rather call it ripping off the kids. Yes, it is a business strategy, it's a tactic to earn money, then again, think about it, how kids are affected this way, how parents are going to support their kids, how kids don't even know how to think correctly.
Also, if the game is F2P, it will lead to cash items imbalancing character development. What do I mean? Simple. The most common items among cash items would be 2X Exp and 2X Drop Rate crap. You got the money, you become more powerful than others, and more imbalanced items gets added to cash shop, and then the richer people will get more imbalanced than ever. This leads to an imbalanced community where the people unwilling to spend money on the game being outcasted by the rest.
If the games was P2P, it will contain people genuinely enjoying the game and really playing it. For a kid, they rarely would go for such a game, mainly because their parents will not allow it, and also most of P2P games have a mature theme that kids will not enjoy. ( But Ragnarok is different, for it captured many people's heart with their graphic and gameplay. )
Enough said, I'm not trying to critisize anyone, or trying to flame anything. All I'm saying Asiasoft should reconsider their business strategy, for there are certain morals in the society that should be strictly followed. As to CABAL-SEA being P2P, that's very unlikely, since it's managed by Asiasoft and also because the European server is F2p. That's my 2-cents worth. =)
