Shiruba Ryou 160	Posted - 2014.01.25 02:52:00 - [2] - Quote Errrrrrr..... I hope not. We definitely qualify in the 'lack of interest' area of f2p gaming for Sony. If this game ever did close down I think I'd go back to FFXIV fulltime. "Not to worry. The cards say you loved it." `- Ryoutoshi`
Viktor Hadah Jr Critical-Impact 2069	Posted - 2014.01.25 02:52:00 - [3] - Quote Absolutely not. Those games are all developed by SOE and they are closing them down because they can make that call no relation to Dust 514 and CCP at all. Selling Rare Templar BPO's 250Mil ISK

You should be worried, anyway, if player base sink again like Uprising 1.0... Tank 514.

Volgair Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 306	Posted - 2014.01.25 03:17:00 - [7] - Quote Should you be worried about Dust 514's low average population.Yes (Note:1) Does SOE closing F2P games have any thing to do with CCP. No. (Note:1) However I think this game is slated to be in a consistent period of development for the next few years, and the cost of development and server maintenance is being covered by AUR purchases... If that is not currently the case I know during the closed beta folks were throwing cash at this game by the hundreds in hopes of DUST's success (or for the items) the premise and the scope of what could be done was the best sales pitch CCP could have ever hoped for. The fact its still just a lobby shooter has caused good portion of those people to move on. "Paper is OP, scissor's are fine." -Rock

I think it was 1.2 or 1.3 when player base suddenly sunk. Tank 514.

I'm not sure if income being greater then development is currently the case, CCP has not released those numbers. ( I kind of wish they would) I know during the closed beta folks were throwing cash at this game by the hundreds in hopes of DUST's success (or for the items) the premise and the scope of what could be done was the best sales pitch CCP could have ever hoped for. The fact its still just a lobby shooter has caused good portion of those people to move on. This game is slated to always be in a state of development, take eve as your example, constant additions and improvements to the game. As to development and server maintenance being covered by aur purchases, I know that I, for one, would happily pay a subscription to play if it were an option. Or if you got the chance to buy plex for rl money then sell it on the market to convert to isk would also work. When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 917	Posted - 2014.01.25 17:16:00 - [14] - Quote S.O.E is one of the worst online developers since the Everquest debacle. and got worse with Star wars Galaxies. Some of the strongest titles and names in the MMORPG worlds and S.O.E directly taking over the projects years in killed them both. From the terrible EQ to EQ2 split in community to the SWG Complete game overhaul that killed off so much of the game. Wizardry online was a project supposed to be out in the north american markets like 2 years ago. Then when they did? They launched it as a Microtransactions perma death system. So when you die you could loose your character forever.. Which is a cool concept if Microtransactions didn't run so much of the game. Open world player versus player combat combined with perma death system was supposed to make the game a Hardcore MMORPG's players retreat... but they turned it into a F2p shell of what it was in inception. SoE's reputation these days lands with PS2 and DCUO so...

Syeven Reed RETR0 PR0 GAMERS INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 266	Posted - 2014.01.25 17:26:00 - [16] - Quote Sony's closing down its own resources. Dust 514 is a CCP resource. Sony only have to host the data (the download) therefore they probably make more money on the warkits ect. Whilst dust is active. Gÿé Syeven 514
