News Launch Date Revealed

After receiving few critical confirmations I have felt the confidence to declare launching date. The launch date is to be set forth July 29th, 2016. The approximation of time to launch is 10PM EST. The time selection is due to attribution that the fact, While western countries will have first start, But only to met necessary rest not long before the eastern day is to begin, Thus making up and ultimately western will have more hours during the weekend due to the fact eastern will be finished with weekend earlier than western does.

Another consideration lies with the game account slots system, To ensure server's legitimacy success we have decided to harness the power of Facebook relations, All currently registered members automatically obtains one game account slot, Should one desire to open up more game accounts will be required to invite a friend to PKONLINE. This is very sensitive topic and I want to make it first and foremost that we do not hold nor harvest data users information, We have never and never will store data related to your Facebook either. To successfully invite a friend into system, Your friend must complete the register under your URL as provided by the game accounts panel. And you will receive permanent game account slot, Regardless if they ever play the game at all. This decision is not made lightly and ultimately was decided in best interest for the players itself, In order to give this server the real chance it deserves, It needs the utter most best chance it can receive. And to accomplish that, We need to promote and encourage users to truly bring their friends to this server, After all, It is not generally favorable to play alone. If you are adamant about being not inviting any of your friends into this game, then perhaps you are not the prospective player this server deserves, This server is going be recognized as super hard-core and a lot of things that are accustomed such as purely individual motives and relying on only own self will not succeed at all. In my experience of running servers, When I ask players to bring their friends, Very little actually let alone attempt to bring up about the server to their friends or let alone asking them to join and help them. It's in my best interest to not waste anybody's time nor the developers' and in order to make this project into something I am going need to require players to invite so that the server will have much better odds and everyone's time playing here will be not gone wasted quickly.

This project is not self-funded, We(developers) are subject to all living costs including resource costs that hosts and maintain the server, Item Mall will be critical component. And so Item Mall will be made available immediately after the launch of server. It is going to market fairies related, apparels related, and forging-miscellaneous. The dollar to rum(points) ratio will be 1:10 or in other word $1 will be equal to 10 rum. We do not have a website mall, There is only in-game item mall where you will be purchasing items using rum points, However to purchase points will be done via forum.

• Fairies 7 Rum
• 99 Fairy Rations for 11 Rum
• 99 Auto Fairy Rations for 19 Rum
• Fairy Fruits 11 Rum
• Great Fairy Fruits 29 Rum
• Novice Fairy Skills 9 Rum
• Devil Fruits 79 Rum
• 5 HB 10 Rum
• 5 CB 10 Rum
• 5 Nana 20 Rum
• Pliers 15 Rum
• Equipment Catalyst/Stabilizer 25 Rum
• Strengthening Scroll/Crystal 7 Rum
• Fusion Scroll/Catalyst 7 Rum
• Assortment of Apparels between 25 Rum to 250 Rum
• Backpacks 29-39 Rum
• Tickets 5-10 Rum

Now, I won't lie this server is doomed to failure if we cannot get proper item mall economy, Players are expected to mall, The more players mall the more benefits exponentially increases server-wide. Things starts to get really much better for everyone, As it promotes more activities in the server itself, Creates healthy economy flowing, Provides new comers opportunity to catch up. The more coordinated and dedicated players agree upon malling the better chances server holds for future. So that means if you and your friends can pledge to mall a little bit here and there, It would help server tremendously, not only it boosts server' revenue but also brings new players indirectly, Increasing user base.

Now that I've announced almost all main elements of this server, I am working very hard to deploy server to per specifications and prepare measurements to provide stable and fair game play. The future of this server is very vague but potential is very clear on other hand, I am interested in maintaining the server in terms of reliability and originality keeping things in consistency and I think the combined of experience and resource I have gained over the years I strongly believe I can provide that.

I'm also against standart skills at this state. Also, there's a way to feed your pet even without rations. If i remember right, in 2008 rations were pain in the ass. And if this is old school pko server, then the rations price is just fine.

That's true, but I still think that Auto Rations should be more expensive than Fairy Rations. They're better in so many ways.

 

[Brother]

15/20 instead of 25/30 is doable

15/30

or 15 rum for 99 fairy rations and 15 rum for 49 auto fairy rations.

I don't really care about mall part, but as for whole facebook thing.. Most of my IRL friends don't even play videogames, and others just not interested in ToP anymore. And very few have facebook accounts at all. So, for the player who used to have multiple accounts, id have to make alt facebook accounts i gues. So il just ask there before i start doing that, if it is okay, since if my alt pko accounts will get banned, i better not bother with that at all.

+1 for that

 

[Arsdy]

All i care now 12 days more to play

 

[Arcadios]

Don't worry guys, the mall might be seems expensive at first but it is not.
Remember this is HARD and SLOW server.
Your fairy won't level up everyday and you don't change your equips frequently.
Also most of mall items is not compulsories and some only need to be bought once.
The only concerns here is fairy rations. The price must be lowered.
Considering we need to use fairies every time and fairies eats up a lot.

Edit:
Don't worry about mallers.
No matter how much they mall or how many gold they have,
they will be stuck at level 70+ with +3/+3 equips anyways.

remember that theres a pet food on mine 1 it gives 5 health per food xd

If you've already invited all your mates to this game and they have made accounts, i guess it's time to make alt facebook accounts haha you know so you can get more game account slots :L

Not illegal, But frowned upon. Why? Because it means more effort to do that instead of asking few extra more friends.

Well we all might have different kind of friends, and i won't ask anyone to just follow my link for the sake of me getting new accont, if i know that they not going to play this, this really beneficial to noone.

But as long as it is not illegal, i can have my accounts then, okay.

 

[Abelito]

Yes... to be honest the facebook thingy for additional accounts doesn't feel rewarding at all. Plus It's a lot easier to make another fb account than getting my friends to play.

Edit : And now that I think about it... It's actually punishing for some people. Imagine a group that wants to play; they all share the same friends. So they will have to decide who gets another account.

 

[Zankza]

This feature is not really intended for players like yourself, If you are already here 2 weeks before server launched, you of course already know what you are doing, it's feature for typical gamers and players. I'm sure it's a lot easier to make fb alt, but you know what else is easier too? Playing this server with friends, instead of alone.

 

[Abelito]

Not like you can't make friends inside the game anyways.

ie. so you dont HAVE to play alone.

Actually it is interesting topic, my guild always had limited amount of players, actually just about enough to win at least 50% of mazes, that is if oponents were good. Usually that ment, that we had so much more income compare to our oponents, that eventually it become quality>quantity. That is how some of the typics PS work. Ofi is actually like that as well, but only after a year or so, and even then on way lesser sclae. In other words, number mean more then usual.

What you trying to do, is to encourage teamwork, i get it, it is cool. However please make sure that "encourage" does not turn into "forcing". When i started this game, i was a kid, so i really did apriciate how this game is full of freedom to do anything you want, including being solo for a while if needed.

I have already invited most of my friends who are going to join too, most of them have already created a game account linked to their fb..

Anyway to activate this feature after like the 1st week?

I suggest that u lower the price for the great/normal fairy fruits to 15/5 caz if I am not mistaken the only way to get em is through mall right? and since the would be a 200+ People online it wouldn't make since for it to be that crazy expensive

 

[Zodiac]

Lower the normal/great fruits to 10 rum and 20 rum, everything else seems good to me.

 

[Klajdamo]

I know it kind of goes against the whole point of an item mall but I wouldn't mind a monthly fee or one time fee to play the game, with a reduced item mall and more chances to get these items in-game.

That would reduce the games player base greatly.

Barley a change in normal fruits price o.o.

Absolutely not, the playerbase would be lowered drastically, and the whole point of the "free to play" would be removed. The mall is great except for these few price adjustments which are needed.

Not if you add a grace period where they wouldn't need to pay. Also, is this really "free to play" if the consequence of not malling is that the server is shut down? I'm not saying remove the mall it just seems like to keep this thing running you'd want some sort of initial fee or monthly fee and in return more opportunities for all players to get the mall items in-game.
