i'd rather donate and pay a monthly subscription, i refuse to pay extra for any fluff items, cosmetic items, or bonus items. this was av's biggest mistake. AV put out duels on their selentine shop, as a result population dropped. as the players felt like they did not need to subscribe to play, thus, they do not feel motivated to play as much as someone who subscribes monthly. those types of things are micro steps towards f2p even if that is not the intention when released. I will not support it. no microtransactions...no fluff/cosmetic shop. it is unfair to those of us who cannot afford to 'upgrade' even if it is only cosmetic. $15 or $20 monthly sub, i'll pay. but i will pay nothing more. i live on a fixed income. Un-fix it? Lol

i was under the impression that this emulator would be available not only as a client, but also the server code. allowing folks to run their own private servers.
i'll happily donate to that goal (private servers)... but i have little interest in playing on a fully public server; free-to-play or not.
i have nothing against folks that do, but every fully open-world pvp game i've played tends to degenerate into roving clans of gankers who's only interest is in harassing the rest of the players. this is not at all interesting to me.
if the goal is to flesh out the server code so people can run their own, in tandem with the developers here running a public server with a subscription, well kudos and more power to ya. but the only real reason i'm keeping track is to (hopefully) be able to run a private server for my own group of friends.
either way, i'm glad to see the furthering of the server code.

Im happy to donate to running and maintenenace costs.
I need mo motivation beyond playing DF.
I refuse to pay for fluff, shop items, or any pay to win bonus crap.
For me that goes against thd whole point....pure unadulterated DF1.
If the game went the way of cash shps and skins to hit weapon ranks etc...Im out. Simple.

What about being subs for :
1) own an house. 2) got more bank place (if you are f2p you got a very low place). 3) access to some special area or donjon. 4) etc etc.
Etc etc.
Pretty much like Archeage doing (without all the pay to win item/aspect).
Just some idea. I myself would be more than happy to being subs, even without any advantage, just to support the game and paid the monthly server cost.

Do not give away the server code, we need a large population if it gets to large open another server dont let ppl have there own server, if you decide togive up this projekt release the codes.

Yea, i know you can see it as p2w. Tho i dont consider it myself as p2w since you dont buy anything with real money (it wont guarentee you an house). But if you dont do a monthly subs, you should consider the f2p vs premium account way, it work on many other MMO that are not really p2w. Was just some ideas but im pretty sure you already know wich way you want to go.

i was under the impression that this emulator would be available not only as a client, but also the server code. allowing folks to run their own private servers. I also already thought about that. But it has its pros and cons. If people have access to the server app / server code, then you will have the same problem like AV has with UW: You have a huge (or in terms of DFO: huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge) world and only like 10 people playing on it. Or in other words: Dead game.
