Hi, I am a free to play player and will remain free to play. Not That I don't want to pay, It's because I cannot, Like failure said, "Parents won't let their kids use their cc".
I have a very useful suggestion, Credit and Or Crystal Transfers to Alternate Characters, If not Credits then please Crystals, When licenses are capped I have to wait 24 hours to get 10 crystals, And new alts get a lot of crystals so If it's possible I'd like To see Crystal Transferring to Alternate Characters and many Free to players here agree.

Please put this into consideration.
Sincerely ~The Axiom :}

Or, you could save some money and actually get a pre-paid cc card from a store and use that instead.

Be happy there is a f2p mode at all.

Do you get an allowance from which you could request to have ten dollars diverted to VO? Have you considered offering to do chores in exchange for your parents using their credit card or pay pal account to pay for your subscription? Or you could do as vskye suggests.

Perhaps with so many young people playing via mobile devices now, Guild Software should consider creating tiered accounts like kiddie games such as Wizards101 has where there is an account administrator and then underlying accounts.

If you are looking to transfer credits, that is quite easy. Buy something expensive take it somewhere where it sells well. Have your alt docked at that station. Drop the items and log off. Log on with the alt and collect the items to sell or use. I have done this numerous times for new characters I've made over the years.

Or you could just give the items / credits to a guild mate and have them transfer them to the alt for you.

-1 to the OP. I have no idea really what crystals can be used for, but it seems to me that the desired incentive is to encourage f2p players to subscribe.

-1, go away like you said you would.

-1 The f2p is to bring paying players into the game. Do you have access to an ios device? For 99 cents per month you could have a lite account.

You could also consider a change in role play and public actions and chat that would reduce how many crystals you go through in a night. Some might accept a simple apology.

I don't have a credit card either. Hasn't stopped me.

-1. I'd bet because of the design of the game, there are very few players that have no access to funds. Of those few, I bet many are Android users who are renown for picking up and quitting a game on the same day. No reason to devote dev energy to a problem that only affects 1% of the VO population.

I don't know why biretak mentioned lite accounts. The only thing that adds to the game is access via a pc. The crystal/credit issue that The Axiom is complaining about would not be be alleviated.

That said, -1 to the op

Allowing alts to transfer crystal would be abused by creating multiple alts and transferring loads of crystal for free, thus bypassing the in game purchasing of crystal. Though maybe there should be a way to transfer purchased crystal. The free stuff would be the current color, and the paid stuff would be red and that could be transferred(since Guild made money on that stuff).

-1 to the OP, the only thing I would consider is having crystal be for the account instead of the character. If I buy crystal I'd prefer to have one bank of crystal for my account that any of the character slots can spend.

Account crystal still allows for crystal farming with low level alts. I think the system in place is just fine.

No. The Crystal System In Place Is Horrible And Terrifying, Have Any Of You Ever Played Mobile, Have You, No! You All Are On Probably A Mac Or Some Super Advanced Computer, One Thing: Mobile Has Very Poor Graphics And Its Always Laggy, The Reason I Left Is Because Even If I Pay I Am Paying For Absolutely Nothing, Just Poor Material, So It Would Be Nice To Keep Playing Without Stopping At Little Crystall Acquisition Rates, If It Changes I Will Get Back On, If It Doesn't I Will Not Play.

You need help, Axiom. How do you even type like that? Cause fuck paragraphs and normal sentences. Let's All Write Like Retards.

Give him a break, kierky. He's a teenager whose English isn't first language. Who cares - nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to read his posts. You're proving my point in your other thread, really. You're not a very friendly person when it comes to newbs, therefore a part of the retention problem.

crystal is supposed to be limited. if you cant afford VO because you're young and your parents are not willing to pay it try to get a junior job. when i was young i used to work in afternoons and on saturdays to buy the "expensive" stuff from back then (the first gameboys etc. heh.)

joylessjoker: you are wrong. he isnt only a problem for player retention due to being a douche most of the time: he tries to ruin the game from various positions (he has about 10 characters (all Itani) who try to pull strings in VO. mostly making sure the serco numbers will stay low)...

The Axiom might not be familiar with the finer points on capitalization in English, but it should be blatantly obvious through reading other people's text that the overwhelming majority of words in English should not get capitalized. The fact that he does it anyway means that he is being irritating on purpose. So no, he does not deserve respect.
May 10, 2015 joylessjoker link
Yep, this is why I named you pizza along with kierky. You have a bad habit of making harsh assumptions about people, turning them off from the game. Have you thought about the possibility of a learning disability in play here? Guess not.

Last time I checked, you can buy Google Play cards with cash. How hard is it to scrounge up $20?
