I think f2p should be able to be part of the fight of brak and bonta by having a new clan (seriume would be awsome). I think we should also have new land and stronger monsters to fight(train) or maybe 2-3 new dungeons (if 3 then 2 realyl hard ones and the other one medium easy)

Im a p2p but I've been with dofus pretty much since the beginning and only recently have I been p2p. Most of you don't realize that if they expanded F2p access they would lose money and since noone wants to lose money they obviously haven't expanded any content. Many of you also haven't realized (or do but just dont care) that being F2p is just like testing the game out to see if you like it (it's not just a free game). So if you have enjoyed your time as a F2p then maybe it's time to try out p2p for a change.

well i talk about my own experience...
i got a agi scram lv 29 at rushu...
that was like 2 years ago...
well dofus is like this ,or u pay...,or u dont play.

man people MUSt figure out that dofus is great game but it has 2 bad qualitys for f2p
first u cant hack there clinet and do a private server since all teh game is on flash
second u got 5% of the area and it ll be ALWAYs 5% of teh area since dofus is for makin money...

think with me... if u make a game.... take years gettin it better....woulndt u charge for it?

im crazy to play dofus but i cant pay for it since i live in brasil
and believe teh price is high and i really cant afford it XP

I've been F2P for a while now... I'm at level 4x and levelling isn't -that- insane though.

I think its reasonable to get to level 5x as an F2P, but then it gets really, really unfair.

I know that P2P naturally should get more stuff, but what about those that really can't pay and just love the game?

I suggest that F2P Content be opened to the whole map, but with the following restrictions:

Monster-type restrictions (not able to fight certain monsters/bosses)
Monster-level (mob) restrictions (max on the mob level that can be fought, e.g. 2xx or so)
Dungeon restrictions (not able to enter/fight certain dungeons)
Drop restrictions (e.g. can't drop equipment, or PP can only count towards a certain amount such as 300 or 500)
Profession restrictions (Such as collecting to 80, and crafting to 50)

If that's too open for F2P, perhaps just a widening of the allowed area to include the Astrub Rocky Inlet and Cania Plains (blops/lousy pigs)?

There's already so many people that play as P2P... I doubt that if you allow the F2P to level just a bit faster in Cania plains then there'd be a lot of problems. In fact they'd probably spend less time levelling because they can get 20k exp in a few fights rather than 3k exp in a fight V_V

Well, apparently a few P2P are whining about F2P causing lag. But us P2P cause as much lag and DC as F2P do. Not much I can do about that.. xD

We'd see a lot less complaining about "F2P limits me etc." If d2p could not access the forum.

What I'd like to see is F2P land .. is (Well--no F2P access to the board ..) Hm, I can't think of anything less.

Well, there is one: a red message when F2P log-on -- a link directing them to a server with episodes.

You don't understand. If you they make it easier to level as a f2p then people are less likely to pay. I wouldn't have started paying at level 20 if I could just be a tiny bit more patient with leveling and had more mobs to fight.
And people are patient. Anyone who has scrolled main stats or created a mule account are patient enough to stick it out for 20 or 30 more levels past 50 if more areas become available.

stealthstyle :
Instead of geting more f2p stuff why not just adjust f2p??

Alrite heres my idea. Tofu cornor is useless cauce nobody go there cept if their dead. Half of astrub city is crap cauce u don't need those empty space. And the cave in astrub which is a little usefull for the tofu and spider kill but stinky rat give real crappy xp and dumb drop.


They could replace tofu cornor with stronger monsters and change the name. Add beter sellsroom in Astrub if possible. No more sinky rat in cave, replace it with new monster.

Basicly i think theres not much monster to fight against to lv up. All the lv50+do is crackler crackler crackler... and it's still hard to lv up, ppl with frustration will probally just quit.

And there isnt' much to do but to train, no interesting quest or mini-games.



And why the heck Rocky inlet is for p2p.... i feel rejected >=(

I agree with him :D

Alot of Astrub (especially south) is pretty much empty space that no one uses...

Why not just fill up the empty spaces of Astrub? Maybe some mid-level mobs would be nice :D It wont hurt anyone at all.

the whole point of f2p is strictly to allow the customer to test the product
and to hopefully make money from it by providing the full extent of there
services and content which is clearly working.

you downloaded the client.then made your account to play dofus. played abit. got to lvl30 or so
and are now on this forum posting for more content. what is MISSING on the consumers end is
payment

folks we're talking about a mere 7$.thats not hard to get. mow lawns, do choirs,shoveling walk ways, blow
shit up and charge admission for it.whatever.and if u cant get the money well that sux.but thats how business works.
and if u really like dofus enough to be here on this topic just subscribe.u wont regret it.

I am a f2per maybe we can have 2 mroe dungeons and some stronger monsters to train on? No need for new areas (that would be nice though). So like 2 or 3 more monsters would be nice that are stronger then cracks and chafers and respwn quicker :D

Home-slice :
I also think pets should be f2p!!! lololol JP!! :D

That was where you cease to be taken seriously.

However, I do agree that the Rocky Inlet should be F2P (I am P2P). It's a part of Astrub, like it or not, and it's kinda unfair to introduce a new area to the F2P area, but wait... you have to be P2P to use it!

P2P's like me, pay to keep Dofus running. You pay for something, you get something. If you dont pay, you dont get. Simple as.

F2P want more things-to-do but the aim of F2P is to give you a taste. A SAMPLE of Dofus!

Your NOT suppose to be able to develop your characters on F2P because, there is not enough to help you to do so

Why should you, F2P get more content, when you don't contribute towards the running of the game?

Whining about wanting more dungeons or higher level monsters, is not going to get you anything or get you anywhere.

Seriously, if Dofus was made F2P, and that they didn't charge people to play the game, how would the game run, how would it survive?

Ankama have bills to pay such as running the game, paying the people like Echen and Kaoly, paying for servers to host, paying for animators, paying for engineers and programmers

Dont ever get into your minds, that people like Echen work for FREE, because they dont. There are volenteers like Wish, etc

Running a game like Dofus costs money and IT'S A JOB, just like your parents have jobs

Pandawas is a reward to people that pay for membership and you guys have 11 classes to choose from

Me: I have a

lvl 63 Sadi
lvl 61 Cra
lvl 60 enu
soon lvl 60 xelor
soon lvl 60 eni
soon lvl 60 sram

that is 6 accounts, none are F2P, all are P2P. I pay to have membership on those 3 accounts. 6 mnths P2P is £20 in UK est

How about everymonth theres 2 days where f2ps can be in the p2p side and do whatever they please, but they have to find out when these 2 days are. this thread is about "we want more f2p content" Not "f2ps sucks we p2ps are better" not that its true but thats what almost everyone is posting.

This the Official We Want More F2P Content thread. It is not the Let's Argue Why Dofus Should Be Free thread. It says right in the rules for this section: "The economic model of dofus (subscription + a tiny f2p area) can not be changed. No need to discuss about any modification of this model"

And it is definitely not the Insult People By Calling Them "Kids And Retards" thread.

Posts deleted.

Also, I don't believe for one minute that you have a magical keyboard that leaves "t" and "h" alone when separate, but turns them into "z"s when combined. If you can type the letters separately, you can type them together. There is no such thing as a text accent.

Why don't you just pay. There are a lot of MMORPG's that don't even have a free to play option so you should be lucky to get what you are. Just suck it up and pay. Why should the people at Ankama give you anymore than what they have.

The only thing I'd like F2ps to be able to do, which they can't do now, is to be able to finish any of the quests they can start in the F2P areas, even if they extend out in the P2P areas.

A couple of quests which just require you to reach a certain location can be done ("unguided tour" is one I think), but others ("the plant dissession" series requires you to talk to an NPC down south, and then kill a flower monster out in the P2P area also) you can't.

Though at the same time, the fact I have unfinished quests that require me to go into P2P areas is tempting me to go P2P, at least to complete those quests (and it's hardly particularly expensive for the week/month I'd actually need to complete them).

I'm a F2P player on Shika. Have been for a while. I got myself and a friend of mine into Dofus, and we're both now in our mid-20's level wise. I've got an Osamodas' Whip, and she's got an Eniripsa. And a friend of hers is a Feca whom she brought in to tank for us. Man, Fecas can tank like mad with their damage-reducing shields, making it much easier on the Eniripsa to heal. Meanwhile I stand back and spam the map with tofus!

Er, *ahem*. What pisses me off is that, as someone mentioned before, everything on Shika seemed F2P. We spent so much time in the Jelly Peninsula getting the ingredients for Wabbit potions for every member of our party, and then going on to take on Wabbit Island.

And then one day, I logged in and nothing was F2P anymore. If I so much as step outside of the area surrounding Astrub, I'm greeted with a red block to the left of my screen with a lighter red palm symbol on it, and that one bird totem dude telling me that this area is for members only.

Keep some of your locations, classes, professions, profession levels above 30, items, etc as P2P. I didn't care about that. I didn't mind at all. But it's completely unnecessary to give us access to all these great things and then take them all away at once, leaving us with a piddly little 5% to play on.

I'm seething with anger right now, so I'm trying my best not to say something that will get this post deleted. But COME ON! When you make something free, leave it free!! There's plenty of P2P things to generate revenue for the developers. Taking everything away from the F2P'ers with no warning like that is just bulls**t.

What are we supposed to do now? And don't tell me to pay for an account. Dofus is a wonderful game in my opinion, and I would be willing to pay for access to even the things F2P previously had before this trickery came to pass. But snatching everything away from us and expecting us to pay for what we were already enjoying for free before is just unacceptable.

It's not about whether I'm able to scrounge up the money for a paid account anymore. It's a principal now. Nobody should take stuff away from anyone and then tell them they have to pay to have it back.

I apologize to the developers and staff. You probably hear tons of people complaining all day. I don't want to make you guys feel bad. Just... put yourself in my shoes. I love Dofus, and I enjoy playing it. Sure there were some places I couldn't access. Sure there were maximum levels for professions. Sure there were P2P classes. But I could deal with that. I wasn't greedy. I was perfectly fine with what I had as a F2P. A level 22 Osamodas who can summon 6 tofus, and two of the awesomest party members ever. (A spunky Eniripsa who always backed me up with healin's and obsessively loved my tofu, and a kind, funny Feca who could tank much better for us than an Iop or Sacrier ever could, simply due to the fact that reducing his damage makes him much easier to heal for the Eniripsa.) Now that we have nothing left, none of my friends will play anymore and sadly, I probably won't either.

I'm not asking for much. By all means, keep the special P2P areas and things you had before. Just give us back what we had before.
