Start up Ducats

I think was a bad compensation item. Anyone else think that items will sell for more ducats now than would have if we wouldn't have got free ducats? How will it effect new players coming to the game for the 1st time?

If you think about it, people like us can help them with shipbuilding and stuff. If we had no ducats, we couldn't even open up a company.. This is a free game that is pay to win, so maybe they could start by shelling out a few bucks..

We can only hope papaya is giving away these ducats to help seepd up development of the server to go at a faster pace than normal, 100m ducats is huge when you could only make a few million per hour on day 1.

But it is a red flag for me when i see thos rewards, if they are just going to destroy the games economy to make a buck in the cash shop this reset is for nothing. Since ill be getting the max package i guess i have a couple months to see how well papaya can manage the game without getting to greedy.

**to any staff at papaya** please be very carefull about selling ducats or invesment bonds, if you take away the rewards for being a good merchant in game and sell them on the cash shop it will crush the spirits of each nations best merchants.

That money they gave is really nothing at all... Or maybe I just been rich for way too long lol. 500mil develop ports, investing, grind SBing, crafting, fusion, mod ships, rebuild colonies. 500mil is really nothing not nearly enough to cause any inflation at all. It seems the cash was there simply to restart and rebuild and not advantage at all simply not enough especially with no nanban and no spice trade or Asian dungeons.

clemsonfan · October 2017

fusing and modding ships are months out seriously nanban as well first months or 2 will be devoted to port devolopment court ranks investment skill grinds .

these fools open with new content that noone will get to for MONTHS.

no reason for this wipe

and the founders package is a slap in the face nothing more.

pirates kill this server for good in 4 months tops good luck

A small few will get it quickly, some will take a long long time and maybe quit before then.

Very strange way they have handled this.

Release an expansion on the same day everyone is reset to 0.

I’m gonna play the game again but with little regard for papaya.

@clemsonfan: I'll be more than happy to take your stuff if you won't be using it <3

In order to keep the in-game inflation stable, free money injections are never a good idea...

It is true we all will take good advantage of it. We may even be able to use it for helping new players out but it creates once again a huge gap between us and them.

Consequences such ah higher prices that will be set by vets for certain items wil demotivate beginners and off we go again with the unbalanced economy ingame...

For as war as I have played online games, the best game expieriences where those where no money injections were ajusted. Unfortunatly that only the case in a major minority of the games out there...

Beside, that's not called starting the game from scratch. It is like starting a fresh querrel with your neighbours but u have an 'M1A1 Abrams' and they have a 'VW Beatle'... See what happens...

So far my opinion on this one.

Flo!

This game you have to know how to make money, and I see people give many ducats and things to the newer players.

Money is only one aspect in this game. I do not why their is talk of inflation, hell people will have to learn to sail again, open ports,etc etc.

pieratthe · October 2017

well lost of the new ducats given out will go towards port developement, and buying goods for crafting/trading. you'll see.

pieratthe · October 2017

The ducats are a boost. So the first couple months we aren't sitting around trading feathers constantly. It's so we can start remaking our chars from the first day w/o worry of going broke or trying to make cash. With dedicated people doing he IQ's which we've all done before and we should be good at it. It will be prolly 60-70% faster getting stuff unlock'd this second time. and u said 2 months of boosters batt. Well i get 6 months of 6x7day boosters, that's 9 months worth of boosters, and i disagree, they didn't do this to milk the cow. Cause with all these founder rewards we have no reason to really spend cash. and if u said up ur 6 months of UWC, i'm sure u can get some nice stuff or try and hit the pay chest. that would be ur choice. I'm for one am glad to hear the not-so-dynamic duo won't be returning.

I remember their was a big event to unlock EA originaly took a few days and fleets of players quest grinding to be first nation to open it , Some peeps think they be at EA on day one

captainpaul · October 2017

Hi all, this is my 1st post and just wanted to ask if the founder rewards are on lvl based, how do they know what lvl your toon was? if OGP hadnt given them all that toons info there is no way of knowing. It seems to me that every thing was passed to them and a server wipe isnt needed. just my observation

NiccoloDeConti · October 2017

Would have been better to just start everyone at absolute 0...Instead those with a ton of alts are going to get that tier one 100m check multiplied god only knows how many timer for all their accounts.

They really should have just enabled a 6 month period of 4x XP, SP and fame on the server and you get a 50 mil duccat check for and like 20$ worth of server cash for graduating all 3 schools....

Gilligan8567 · October 2017

I believe the majority of us vet players will be using this start up money to begin rebuilding the economy of the game, investing in ports, grinding, etc etc. I highly doubt there will be a high inflation for a long while and though a few might stockpile the money, most will put it to use getting everything set up again. I have always been willing to help new players as I know the feeling myself and was lucky to receive help as well, so I always try and pay it forward as best as I can.
