It'd be worth at least a dollar to play this without the risk of games being ruined by children.

I'm a child, will I ruin this game? Maybe. Do I play Call of Duty? Yes, only ones who I'm going to ruin this for is the RoT bros.

We actually haven't done anything to percy, he just enjoys being emo and trolling our chatroom.

Slightly off-topic. But whatever.
What I was thinking was, scratching my old idea, basically, let the user try the game out, for 60 minutes, then they have to register, therefore either ending a griefers existance on the game or getting a new fan. Also, it's not worth a fee.. Yet. We need a client, an actual client not click on a web browser and play, how can you pay for something which isn't even a downloadable, gamewise, I don't get it. Also, it's a shame this is in beta. I was hoping for something really cool. Looks like not a lot is going to change now. \:

The whole post above this one.

I agree, Kaede. But I simply think there should be a demo server to show "Newbs" how this game plays.

Or in the very distant future, require that everybody complete a not-too-difficult-or-long campaign mode before they're allowed to play multiplayer.

The campaign idea sounds very nice.
I like it.

Maybe the campaign could be relatively long, but there would be a point not too far into it where you would unlock multiplayer, so you wouldn't have to play it all the way through.

Would be a bit annoying for people who had played the game earlier, though.

Minecraft isn't worth to pay for it >.<
a campaign? yeah would work, i guess =D it even can be used as some sort of tutorial for new ones ;)

Yeah I could agree to that, Rev.

A campaign would help get rid of some of the autist builders. I like that idea!

Not only that, but having to complete all or part of a campaign every time you want to make a new account would get old, it'd cut down griefing even more than just registration alone.

But this is way in the future, like version 1.0

It'd be interesting to see what team you would be on, though.... Maybe make it (assuming that it's implemented) so you would have a choice of what team you played as. Adding on to that, there could be different missions for whichever team you decide to play for :D

Was just a suggestion. Sorry. Campaign sounds meh, imo. Idk, I'd need to see a later build of the game to determine whether a campaign would be good.
I'd like it if there was pre-built structures you could select from a menu, or some layout which would highlight blocks on the floor, also getting rid of autist builders.

can't agree the campaign should be much lame as possible >.<

Uh, what?

Please explain yourself Mr.Seeker_Snake
Do you mean the campaign should be super easy?

Who?

All we need to stop a 'bot from making people dozens of clean, new accounts is a captcha system. Problem solved in that respect.

Griefers: Will pay to ruin your day.

I however will not pay to play this game in its current state. I am playing this game currently and will donate after i release my projects but if it goes pay to play before any large changes i will likely avoid the game and just drop my pre-releases into the forum as a last good bye.

I have not felt that grievers are worth any amount of money at the moment, as they have no real effect on the game.

OH GOD PLEASE NO!!! NOO

Right after i scan the page down, after seeing more than 2 paragraph, i just gave up.

thats it no more AoS forums. :D

Pay-To-Play: No

Online Registration: Yeah, as long as you don't have to pay for it. (I don't hell know how to pay overseas. :/)

Campaign to unlock Multiplayer: Annoying, but if it averts the griefers (who hopefully have the attention span of 5 minutes at most) then so be it.

Rollbacks: Good idea

While it's always nice to have a way to play against robots who, while less worthy adversaries than humans, will behave themselves, I'm not entirely sure how that would work in AoS. The game's too complex; not only would the 'bots have to run around and shoot things like most FPS AI's, they'd also have to figure out how to change the map in ways that are helpful to themselves. The coding would be immense, and would change AoS from "your grandma's rig can run this game" to "hire Deep Blue."

Alternatively, you could make the AI's not modify the landscape, in which case they'd be pathetically easy to beat.

EDIT: I am gonna make a different thread about this hold on.

No the campaign shouldn't be super easy but if there were 2 different campaigns (green and blue) all the players would create 2 different accounts. And with one of these 2 they could grief and so on.
Thats why the campaign should be drab, I guess... xD

I like TheGrandmasters Payment Idea
Still then there would be a lack of free servers....

If Ben did add ports to the game, so we serverowners could host more then one server per ip :D

Or that you'll have to pay to host a premium server

Put this payment idea down, only a maximum of 10 people will really go along with this.

I call the OP a good thing.
Minecraft was good back before it was popular.

i think it should be pay to play BUT everyone who has an account now would automaticaly be a "payed member" it would be a one time pay like minecraft.
