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 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

There are some in game ways to get normal fruits actually - life quest.After some point there is a chance to get it on 10th quest. I did not calculate the chance though yet.

I like and agree on pricing for everything, except pet fruits and rations. Pet wont grow fast in this server, that's true, so it won't have to ask huge donation from us at start probably, but pet will be a MUST for everyone. Mallers will have to mall for EVERYONE. Even lvl 5 pet gives so much advantage in server like this, where you can't get stats from anywhere else. I'd say making pet fruits for like 9rum and great fruits for like 19rum or so would look much better. 3$ for a great fruit seems a little overpriced, compared to other things on mall. Other things are pretty much a luxury. HB's are for saving time, CB's are for increasing chance of getting lucky, Apparels are just apparels until we can get like +7 gear, which just won't happen anytime soon. Only the pet is pretty much THE MUST to play in this server and be able to keep up with other people who will mall for themselves ( I'll be a maller so not worrying about myself, just know that ALOT of people will quit if they won't have any chance to catch up).

Why the hell are people asking to make great fruits 2x the price of normal fruits? You do realize that not only do they save A LOOOT of time, but later on rations as well. No reason to buy normal fruits if great ones are so cheap, there needs to be a bigger price difference between the two.

I agree, but making great fruits 3$ each is overpriced in my opinion compared to other things in mall. If pet will be such a luxury in this server, it will fail miserably. As I said previously, pet will be a MUST for everyone playing.. Make normal fruits like 7rum and great 19 or 21rum or so I guess.

3$ is fine for a great pet fruit. Tottaly fine.

 

[Leba]

Yeah, considering how much time it saves on a vanilla server, and as I had said earlier, how many rations it saves as well, it SHOULD be a luxury. Normal fruits should be the more used ones (And lowering their price to 7 or so wouldn't be a bad idea), if people want great fruits which, again, SHOULD be a luxury and not easily affordable, should be willing to spend 3$ a piece.

im thinking about the sheer number of great fruits that we will buy overtime to supply a whole server full of players

They don't need to buy Great Fruits, as I said they should be a luxury for those who are willing to pay 3$ for them. Making them twice the price of a normal fruit is absolutely absurd and an awful idea. I've explained twice why. It's not about the supply, it's about how it affects the gameplay.

 

[Jasper]

I myself, ain't a maller but I also don't think it's logical to sell the Great Fruits twice the price of normal fruits. I won't mind paying more than double the amount of gold for great fruits because it would save time and even more gold on the long run (tons of rations are saved for the higher levels of fairies) and that just makes it worth it.

 

[Zankza]

If I am to decrease the rations costs, I need to compensate that losses, I'm thinking great fruits and devil fruits are too cheap with the adjusted ration price.

The great fruit price is fine, and
1) Could you please specify which Rations? Auto Rations are fine, if not too cheap. Fairy Rations are those in need of a small cost reduction.
2) Do you mean Demonic Fruit by Devil Fruit? Additionally, I don't know why, but I feel like you said those could be obtained in an in-game way on that serverdev thread, maybe OSS/NSS? If memory servers well. But yeah, their price feels a little cheap. I'd suggest bumping the price by 10-20 if they're not obtainable in-game, and 20-30 if they are.

 

[Radagast]

My point was, if only mallers will be able to use Great Fruits (because we wont be able or wont want to spend 3$ each time someone on server wants or needs them, so people will have to use standard ones), it will make too huge advantage for maller comparing to non-maller. The rest of Item Mall seems to be too cheap compared to Great fruits and Fairy rations. Or maybe make it a little cheaper if you buy it in a bunch of 5 or 9. Like 119rum for set of 5 or something like that. I mean - Socket set is cheaper than 1 Great fruit... That doesn't make sense to me. Also, standard pet skills should be somehow obtainable. Maybe like have to get 1 thing from mall (for like 15rum, I suppose) and then also have to farm few other things in-game. (like pretty long quest or something like that). Because novice fairy skills are just worthless.

I agree the socket set is too cheap than a great fruit. It should be higher.
The reason is this is hard server, people won't change eq frequently. All eq only have 2 sockets and both socket succes rate is 100%.
Some of eq already have 1 socket on them. Hat doesn't have gem. So less 1 eq need to be socketed.
Increasing socket price can compensate the loss on normal rations.

I agree about the socket part, it shouldn't be so cheap. Although I believe each piece of the socket is 25 Rum, not as a bundle (We may need some clarification here, @Zankza)

Would love to hear some opinion from you.

Standart skill at this stage would remove the "hardcore" aspect of the game. 99% of this community dont even remember how it was like to play without infinite SP....

I understand what you mean and that is what I'm most concerned about - server beeing TOO hardcore. We have to understand that ToP at it's start had hundreds of players.. This server looks like it will have like 30 at start.. Things will go MUCH slower here, than in official.
