P2P time hi i was thinking maby dofus should do somit about it. cause this might eb a good idea like when you log on it begins when you log of it stops then when you log in agian it continues etc..... any1 else think this is a good idea?

so you would replace, say, a 1 year subscription, by, say, 1500 hours of game time?

This penalises more active players, so I can't see it being popular.

It would also produce lots of dormant p2p accounts, which might be a problem.

I Actually think it's a rather good idea, mainly because if you suddenly have to go somewhere for a few days/weeks or you go on holiday, you can come back knowing that you'll still have the same amount of P2P time left as when you first departed.

Im annoyed buying new memberships all the time and getting having like 19 hours go to waste because i have to go to school....
and why cant they make text memberships cause im annoyed how its always £2.10 for memberships instead of 1.50......

This discussion also available here.

they just want your profit your giving them more money cause your memb runs out thye just care if u get more subs not if your happy

It would also be nice only to pay rent on your flat while you are actually there and not do so during work/school hours and holidays. However, life just doesn't work like that and the provider of a service, be it a game or real estates or anything else, simply could not survive or would have to raise the service charge accordingly to make up for the loss. It is always easy to say 'why don't you do it like this or that' from the point of view of the service receiver. But if you are the one providing the service, the situation looks completely different. Maybe you folks will be at some point in your later life in a position where you provide a service to other people. You'll then see that it isn't always about 'making money' but much more often about 'survival' or 'feasibility'.

Short version? Because they'd have to charge at least three times as much as they do now to make up the difference. Probably more.

For example, say you pay for a week, or 7*24 = 168 hours. Since I gather you play only five hours a day, that would last 168/5 = 33 days + 3 hours. There's no way they could charge the same amount for what is effectively a month-long subscription as you're paying now for a one-week subscription, even if it is the same amount of hours, and still stay in business.

It's like cable television. They don't care whether you have the TV on or off, you still have to pay for the entire month.

It would also ruin the social aspect of the game in that people would be less happy to stay around and chat, because the timer would be running! Plus any time the phone rings, or whatever, they would log off, then log back on 2 minutes later, causing yet more pressure on the poor login servers. Sorry, nice idea, but it doesn't work for me.

um lol i cant really see this acculy making any sense its not really related to this topic tbh what that post says it doesnt sound like it has anything todo with this topic were on about p2p time not the happyness or socialness of the game

maybe they could do it as in you can pause your member ship you have to be inactive for say a week long or a couple days and it freezes but if your not back within a certain amount of days it unfreezes and you then have to re-subscribe. OR sometime like that you have to give a reason why and say for how long and they chooses wether or not its applicable

Only five hours a day? Come on thats as much time as I spend in School! Take a break man...

lol.... u have no idea how long to much time is 5hrs a day is avrg not to much
