Item Shop Discount Dies When?

[Roon]

They have the discount up because the server isn't getting enough donations to run the server. I don't think they'll take it down anytime soon since our population is slowly dropping everyday. Less people playing = less people donating.

our population isn't dropping. From what I can see, it's rising >_>

Don't count the vendors and dual clienters.  I have seen a few more people come back, so I hope deep down that your statement is 100% true, because, maybe I'm selfish for wanting this, but we need more people to get on Anthem.




On Topic:

It is my opinion that the Discount was left by Talis as a gift to us, maybe as his way of saying "Hey Anthem, here is your "Stimulus" package!  Cheaper items from the website!"

The Christmas boxes in my opinion - which is probably wrong (lol) - is a way for you Gamblers to risk it and maybe win some mega bucks.  After all, the Valk / Celeb drops were greatly increased, as the GMs said.  Also, maybe it's just meant to be an upgrade to the OVB, kind of like OVB is an upgrade to the OBB and the OBB is an upgrade to the Gift Box?  I don't know which Hypothesis is correct, but those are mine.

Either way, the word Discount needs to be removed, and the GMs should carefully plan out new prices for various items.  Switching certain cards around - Ie: Phree, Berze, Moonlight & Mysteltainn from Greater MVP to Lesser/Mini MVP (due to the value of the card not being up to par with greater MVPs), and moving UP some Lesser / Mini MVP cards, such as Baphomet, Eddga and Drake.  Since we can't suggest on the Ad System, I can't go to suggestions and put a thread there about it.

The donations we have are MOSTLY the same as it was in Anima, and quite frankly, things have GREATLY changed since the days of Anima, hence I mention the changes.

I base my statement on the rise in people lounging around pront and other cities, the number of people in PVP, and in noob maps. Where it was once ghostly empty now it seems alive and well - and it seems like a gradual movement into this over a period of about a year. I could've just logged on at opportune moments, but hopefully it's because the population has seen a rise.

I do think a change in the item shop would help with the prices for the players thats the only way things will be changed because if we keep getting X amount of Ads into the game being sold by X amount of People the price will always be the same but if we do change the prices of the Items We could get an ease but the only scare would be lets say drop Doppl for example to 20 ads only no discount 20 ads x1mil per ad that will bring back the doppels to a good price and if ads dropped to 900k the price would be back to normal but the only bad side to this would be if people began to sell the Ads at a higher price the only way to fix that would be if your smart dont buy the ad for anymore than 1mil and just wait they will turn in sooner or later if no one will buy there ad

I do agree with you that the amount of players do seem to keep getting higher Payon dung for instance had no one roaming and now i see more and more appearing in such little time and the times i go into pvp i see 15-20+ players I am glad to see this change and by the appearance this saturday of a few fellow Guilds i say that things just might have a good turn of event also on a side note the Summer is kicking in and people are coming back to there anthem and starting there vacations.

Truth be told, the only reason Ads are the price they are now is simple Supply and Demand.  Nothing else lol.


Supply and Demand at its finest, seen here in aRO.

Out of the 500 people we have online right now, on a rough count i just did less then 2 minutes ago, 140 to 175 people are vending in pront in alberta. So its really not that many people online.

I hope the they redo the item shop and its prices so people will donate for things that are worth donating for.

Yes this should be done,Noticing prices like angeling card its 20+mil on item shop when in game its 10+mil and so forth

the prices on item shop need to be changed a bit

[pokmin100]

the prices do need to change, in my opinion, i joined years ago while we were still anima, and the prices haven't changed at all.

one of the biggest things, actually, is the cost of base items. who would pay $5 for half of that stuff anyways? there are some of those items thatr should only be a buck, and a few that should be more, a 5 dollor base means many of those items don't get bought at all, and this goes for cards, headgears, weapons, armor, ect ect.

[SwiftStrike]

its summer; people should be comin back soon after exam ends. just for the fun of it....i remember during 2x exp we had almost a woe count on daily.

[Haruwa]

They should leave x2 exp week on for 6 months and see how big our population booms then.

i don't think people that vending even past 100..maybe around 60-100..most vendor base at pron..100+ kinda too much

Count Pront, Pay Dung, Alberta, Payon and Orc Dungeon.

I just counted 132 vendors.  Give or take one or two that I may have misscounted.  Out of the 132, 13 are dispersed among Alb, orc dung, pay, and pay dung.

Not to mention those that are actively dual clienting at the moment as well.

[exDragon]

I could give you a long economical explanation but I just skip to the results instead.  If the discount was removed, the total price per ad would go down.  However the cost of items that are only gotten through ads would go up.  To what extent this will happen, I do not have sufficient information to predict that.  Basically, items are cheaper with the ad discount and more expensive without it.

[pokmin100]

hmm, well, currently, it's 15.30 for eddga's, and thats at roughly 1.1 mil an ad, thats 16 ads, and that's 17.6 million zeny, compared to when they were say, 800 thousand, 17 times 800000 is roughly 13.6 million zeny, therefore, if prices of adds come down, it affects to a much greater degree how much zeny you spend per item

[Freestyle]

It's because we don't have Free Trials or Paid Offers anymore =]

Can thank the frauders for that one.
