you guys have been poking around in the client so you already have your feet wet. I hope you guys will be interested in working on the game itself. I plan to make the game subscription based and implement a similar system like DFUW and Eve have where you can buy subscription items with real money and trade them in the game to players for ingame items. Gold selling was done a lot and this will curb that and allow f2p players to play for free by buying subs.
-Andrew i refuse to play anything that requires me to spend my disability pension on items in order to be able to compete. so, andrew, if you do manage to bring back dfo and throw in a 'shop' or 'duels' or any other crap that basically ruins the game, i will not play it. cash purchase items ruin the game, end of story.

You are indeed confused. From my understanding is that there wouldn't be any items that would benefit players in any way that they couldn't do without the cash shop. Cash purchase items don't ruin the game especially when everything is obtainable without paying for it. The major thing being described here is that people can pay for an item that adds subscription time to your account. This item would be tradeable to others in-game for other in-game items, similar to the PLEX system in Eve, and DUEL's in DFUW.

I am also against item shop. Kind of ruins the item balance. Let me explain:
Player A buys DUEL/PLEX for say $15. Player A sells DUEL/PLEX for 100k gold to player B. Player B is happy and it is good for him that he did not spend any money. Player A has 100k gold. He buys dragon armor, hellraisers etc. Player A is about to fight player C. Player C cannot afford cash shop and fights only in banded.
RESULT: Player A is at advantage due to cash shop.
ALTHOUGH: There are people that sell items for real money anyways.

item shops will never happen The only thing I would agree with is alternate looks for armors/weapons/mounts.

people are walking way to fast into the future.
Especially people who dont understand what is actually possible with dfo engine and coding and so forth..
I would be wise to first get some info about that and they actually start debatting what people want and what is possible...
I appreciate all sweat and efforts done by everyone.. but lets be clear on some facts here.
- Av wants to make money on this license deal.. so the first priority should be what that amount of money will be..
- DFO, if relaunched will not have insane amount of people.. its more like a small club that enjoys this game.. i think its fair to say that if you will get between 1k - 1.5k subs for this game.. you can clap your hands;
- the tech of engine comes from 2002 orso.. so your are limited with what you can actually do with this. keep this mind.
People need to be realistic about the situation
