what is the future of pu?

(1/3) > >>

lildjremix:
so i have been patiently awaiting the release reading forums when i saw the low low traffic amount (mr.darks not even on!) and a wild thought appeared, if the game does not have a high traffic amount will it be shut down? or since its a freelance developer  game  will it just stay running?!? and on a side not will we ever be charged for membership or a higher grade account(such as runescape, dcuniverse, call of duty elite, etc...) ???

Bing:
Well, I don't know about the "traffic" or how the development is going.  But, I'm fairly certain that the game will be free to play and there will be no paid extras.

Oh, and if you didn't know.  You can usually find the dev's on the IRC channel.  Which is Pokemon-Universe.

Tristan:
Well, all games have down periods, and PU isn't even released yet. But to be honest,

1. If you read the "Summary" of the game, it's noted that PU will be free to play. This is likely to avoid conflict with Nintendo, if the game is non-profit it looks better for the developers. I'm not positive on the relations between the two but I remember numerous posts by staff clarifying that such conflicts are being/have been dealt with. Do I think there could be donator items? Well, I think there should be, as it can be done where one does not have to pay in order to enjoy the game.

2. Regardless if the forum is seeing less activity as of late, this is a Pokemon game. Even better, it's a highly anticipated Pokemon MMO. If and when the game is ready for some sort of release, the traffic will come herding in.

Bing:
I agree with most of what you said.  Except for the donation items.  As you mentioned the reason they don't take money is to avoid conflict with nintendo.  Having donations would only increase the risk of such conflicts.  Making special items for members that donate would be risky.

lildjremix:
i agree also. but given a loophole the game could start free as do most but after a rise in popularity, nintendo could do something like issue a order saying they want a profit for use of alikeness. i just dont want anotherrunescape type ordeal
