expand the area for f2p poor little f2p's cant go to much places so maybe it would be better to expand their adventures like another noob country other than Incarnam. Even some of my friends get cross because they've got stuck in Astrub and can't go back to Incarnam. So maybe an advanced country that anyone can go to even if they've gone to Astrub and includes a place where you can become p2p, like a fountain or something to make it just a tiny bit more noticable in a different way. Now i can finally be famous! cool.gif

There are too many f2p people already on the server. Increasing the scope that they and bots can make use of wouldn't be particularly clever. The masses of free players are the reason why the paying lot of us suffer from server lag. Free players cost Ankama money, paying players help Ankama cover those costs. I can't see them make the game more attractive to people who just mean a negative number on the balance sheets. Besides, right now it is you asking for more area to play in without paying. Once that has been granted, another person will come and ask for a bigger area and so on. They should rather introduce maybe 1- or 2-month trials in the current f2p area and after that people would either have to pay up or start from scratch again. I am relatively certain more people would be inclined to pay then, which would provide Ankama with more money to improve the game.

Larger F2P area = more bots, no ty ...
Larger F2P area = more low lvl screamers in P2P areas, no ty ...
Larger F2P area = lower money for devolopers = slower game evolution, no ty ...

they really should add more content for f2p players, cuz you cant do anything. Runescape has more f2p content thn dofus, and it barely has any, so for dofus to have less, its pretty bad. And its not like u can do a lot of quests either to become better, but they just add member quests which you can accept but cant even complete *clap*.

They should make Astrub p2p, just to take care of bots, no point of leveling at astrub after level 40, every acc should get 15 days free in astrub, after you need to pay, a good place for a Neutral Arena too.

Actually, some people will be inclined to pay more after experimenting a bit with the game, A month free trial is sometimes not enough with most characters, and I have seen some level 60-70s or higher in incarnam that are not p2p.

Also bots are not a big problem and can be handled by Akama with some fixing.

And everyone had to be f2p at one time, so it sounds kind of offensive when you say that we were costing akama money.

The fact that there are lvl 60-70 in Incarnam is a clear signal that there is already too much to do for non-paying players. You'd expect people to get bored with what's available to them within a few weeks. That this doesn't happen means Ankama are too generous.

Most people that have not subscribed after around two weeks, are very unlikely to pay later. There are those that don't have the money now but will have the money in a month's time. However, these players will also not complain about the limited content available to free players. In fact, they will look forward to the day when they can play the game in full.

Bots are a problem and 'fixing' isn't easy. If it was easy, other, more mature online games would have solved bot issues already ... which they haven't.

You are right, everybody (jut about anyway) has been F2P at some point, including me. However, that does not change the fact that free players deteriorate the quality of service for those people who pay to play. As such F2P players are a drain on the system and it is rather offensive to those paying for this game to read thee cheap skates to demand more content. They are slowing down our game, wasting our money and still want more? No thanks. We P2P players are paying for F2P to be able to play this game. Because if there wasn't enough money coming in from P2P, Ankama would go broke and no F2P would be available either.

Tbh its a bad idea, there already enough bots down in astrub as it is, plus theres the fact that Shika is currently overloaded with players, a reasonable size portion of whon are F2P'ers who probably will get up to like level 30 down in astrub and then decide to quit.

like every1 says this wont really work. Why? because if amakna doesnt get any money how can they make dofus better like dofus 2.0 if it wasnt for people who paid for p2p dofus 2.0 might not be even exsisting yet so tbh this idea is a big NO GO
