    For 180 scroll will be around 60 or 3x150.

    not sure yet.

    I do not foresee you getting many purchases if you have it be this high.

    We do not for see to make a huge amount of profit from it.

    We only try to sustain the server and keep it self funded for as long as possible.

     

     

    Fair enough. Why not make it at an affordable price you sell more therefore you sustain the server and keep it funded? :unsure:

    The prices will obviously turn this into an epic failure or a potentially booming success.

     

    $50 is too high. If the XP rate was x1 then $50-$75 would be reasonable, but come on guys. Let's be realistic. $20 a pop is FAIR. No one is getting gear/items/majs out of this. This is PURELY to skip the bullcrap leveling.

    Dummies have no power outside barracks (they don't give exp) so I'll gladly make a couple 100 to annoy you :D

     

    Well, the fact that I based it off majestics is simply because the easier way to offer both majestics and 180 in cash shop is by selling lvl 10 exp pots, which give 1 mil exp each.

    So selling a lot of 150 of them would be equal to 50 majestics or lvl 180+9majs...

     

    On the other hand making a separated item that can only be used below lvl 180 to lvl up to 180 could be done in order to make lvl 180 cheaper than majestics, but then again there is the issue that this requires development and testing...

    And those 2 things are done by me and requires my time investment into them... And I'd rather work on the big PvP Tournament update instead of at this item to earn a couple $$.

     

     

    Don't let coding get you down, have it be a service that "can take up to 24 hours" and have GMs/admins just edit the character level.

    Simple solution. It should be easy for the admin/GM to do, and it's gonna make you guys money you were not making before.

    I am saying just a fresh 180 with maybe 100,000ish gold to get basic armors/items/spells etc.

     

    I am not a fan of paying for the majs and whatnot, I just want to be 180 dammit :)

     

    In a previous game with a very similar thing like this, it was about $18 USD for a max leveled character. To me that's a good price. At that rate I'd probably purchase 2 max level characters, maybe even a 3rd.

     

    Also, for half the price you should make instant 140 characters. I'd probably buy two of those as well.

     

    As it stands right now, I don't want to spend any money though. I don't want to buy an XP bonus potion to make the grinding not take as long. I don't want to grind at all. I understand grinding for gear/items, but actual character progression so I can just ENJOY HB for HB.

     

    EDIT: Also, on that private server for that one game I ended up purchasing 8 or 9 max level auto up characters.

    Leveling isnt the servers main problem. You actually enjoy playing while your low lvl if you get drops. Playing without drops makes you feel bored and discourage and then you quit. Simple as dat.

    Maybe for you. I have gotten my character to level 120ish and I am already wanting to quit. I hate the grind. Hate it. I do not mind throwing down a reasonable amount of money to make me actually enjoy HB.

    What I'd like to see, is the ability for players to get an instant level 180, but it stops them gaining XP after that (or perhaps hero). So anyone can have a 180 if they want, but can't benefit from DK+15 etc. So for players who really can't be arsed leveling- they still are able to play a 180.

     

    Some penalties of skipping you could consider:

    No gain XP/MAJ after 180

    No gain EK after 180

     

    Personally i think just no XP would be fine for those that 'Skipped the fun' (of leveling)

     

    I've seen this work well in other RPG style games.

     

    Also 1 per IP.

    Why penalize someone who pays for convenience? This isn't a pay to win idea. It's a pay for "I don't have the time" idea. Other severs for other games do this all of the time and it doesn't impact things in a negative way whatsoever.

     

    I think an instant 140 would be cool too, for maybe half the price, for people that want to make PL raiders. I'd buy one of each honestly. If the price was right of course.

    Call me crazy, but after playing this game for 10+ years (off and on) I am sick of tired of leveling. Even if the rates are x25.

    I know there are XP booster packs that you can get - but why not just put something on the shop that grants you instant max level? I played a private server for another game and they had this feature for like $15 USD and it sold moderately well, and that was on a x3 XP rate server.

     

    Think about it - the HBN staff makes some $$, the folks that don't have a ton of time to "grind" from 1-180 like they used to anymore and are sick of it and want to reach end game.

     

    I'm JUST suggesting.
