Let me know what you guys are thinking Thanks chiefs I agree 100%. I can see the VIP charge for the 2nd business. but have to pay VIP for the first ALSO? ridiculous. And the cost is TOO MUCH...way to much...might be acceptable as is but MINUS the 1st business cost..... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjrfin Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 The costs are a bit higher than I expected. But they are also optional. Just like name change, early release, and everything else that cost vip days. You can choose not to pay. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleakardor Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I don't really see the problem. I mean, we haven't had the ability to have a 2nd company slot, and now that we do we don't want to pay the extra for it? I don't really think it's that steep when you consider how this should reduce the amount of multi accounts and now you can choose to have a private gym along with your fight org, or laundry service. You just have to pay more VIP... it's up to you if you think it's worth the cost.. but honestly, we didn't have this ability before, so it's a luxury and usually, luxurious things are costly. I highly doubt Mike wanted to implement this so that 500 new companies pop up next week. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I told mike this and he said he hasn’t put the price of the VIP up for 11 years if he went with the price of inflation a year VIP would be $42 if that happens I’m off bois I just think the amount of ways this game takes your vip is ridiculous I recently had to pay 3 months VIP for 6 custom avatars (which mike takes well to long to review them anyway that’s another subject) because they are nearly impossible to win on the spin and lose ive been doing it nearly everyday for a year now and I have won 1 fighter slot and about two super supplements (I’m not counting lottery tickets, money or free spins because they are pointless) I do love this game but can we all remember this is a web browser game and we all give a lot of money to even be apart of the community I think mike should start implementing more things but we shouldn’t have to pay beyond the odds for everything new implemented I’ve asked a few top managers and they agree that it is overpriced and he punishing the people who want to interact with this service more by making them pay extra for everything Do you think mike goes asleep thinking about more ways to take our VIP days because at this moment in time it looks that way to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Wait what? There's VIP cost for having one company? I missed that part of the update. Well when you own a second company both companies add up to decide how many days vip you need to pay a week I think is it what Mr Grumpy meant which I agree remove the cost of the first company and I think a lot more people would be happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs2442 Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 It really amazes me how no matter what is done people still find a reason to whine and complain. If you dont like it, leave end of story. However I would like to try and explain why I feel it is cheaper to do this so I will give you an example. Lets say I run a gym but I also want to run a clothing company. So I have 2 choices... find a manager who does not have a company and offer to buy his VIP for him in exchange for holding the company for me (Costs me 7 days of VIP per week for this company) OR I create a Multi account and I purchase VIP for it (still costs me 7 days if VIP per week). Now with the system implemented I can (and have) opened a clothing shop to go with my Gym and guess what, it only costs me 5 days of VIP. Anyways at the end of the day, Mike has given us what many had asked for, so stop complaining and get on with your Tycoon life, or walk away in protest. Your choice 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone did to be honest there’s not a lot of “free” things in this game I like the idea a lot but it’s just overpriced in my opinion 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsquirrel Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 When you think about it there has to be a more than marginal cost to it. If not everyone would just be running a full set of companies just because why not. Putting it a bit below what it was costing before as Louie explained seems fair to me. It would be a different thing if running a (non-org) company actually had some challenge in it and was not just a money-printing machine.

Alfred Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 It is overpriced and there's no two ways about it. For those who keep saying it's cheaper than getting someone to hold a gym or run a multi you are failing to mention that you or someone also gets 10 fighter creation slots with those as basic. You can easily work out how much Mike thinks they are worth as you can purchase extra for real cash. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been an improvement I missed out on? Or are u advocating for managers to create Multi accounts so they get both a company slot plus extra fighter slots? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 This game has the most unique pricing strategy I have ever seen. First make it easy to accumulate game money. Then make those game dollars become increasingly less valuable by providing very few opportunities to use those game dollars in game. Then when a player has accumulated a boat load of next to worthless game dollars offer him the opportunity to exchange them for real dollars (VIP days). Now your palyers can keep churning those cheap game dollars and play the game free forever. Now the revenue that should be produced by selling VIP days isn't nearly what it should be. So what to do? It's obvious, charge VIP days for all the game extras. So of course players using their VIP days will force them to buy VIP days sooner and generate income sooner. right? Unfortunately, inflated game dollars can be obtained faster than game days are used. Just take them back to the "Exchange" for more free real money. There seems to be a fatal flaw in the notion that you can generate income by giving the product away. Were it my game the Exchange would be gone in an hour. Everyone who wants the perks of VIP pays for them. Then make game dollars the exchange for the game extras that affect the game economy, like owning companies and orgs. Add more cool and frivolous things to the game to use game dollars on. Charge VIP days for the vanity items like avatars, name changes, etc. This game is inexpensive to play, it shouldn't be given away. Fix the pricing structure and generate some income to work on game development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
