I don't have a smart phone, but If I had one I'd definitely ship a few dollars SOE's way to use it :]

Re: Would you Pay for the Ipad/Android App?


I would pay if it really delivers on good features and free app updates.

Also can use something like bluestacks to run this app on a second monitor for enhanced game immersion =)

I would pay ~$2.99 for it just because I'm that interested, but until I actually see it, I'll reserve my opinion about whether it should be for-pay.

Once I heard you can chat with people in-game through the app, I was already sold. $10 for it? $15? $20? Yeah, okay, take my money. If I can't get on and I absolutely need to coordinate something with my outfit, that's going to be a major boon.

They could make it free, but you would pay $0.99 to unlock certain features such as voice chat, in-game chat, etc.

Voted yes but, I would most likely have to know someone who uses it to recommend its usefulness.

Considering game is F2P, and the app is non-essential, and having it won't make a player have any significant advantage, then I think the app should be paid for content, SOE have got get there money from somewhere to continue supporting and developing PS2.

Re: Would you Pay for the Ipad/Android App?


If someone or a set of people put in time and expertise to craft a well-made app that I will use for hours and hours, the least I can do is buy 'em a beer. So yeah $5, isn't all that much to ask. Though it's probably more likely in the $2 range, which you could easily lose in the laundry.

Don't see why people have such aversions to trivial amounts of money for products that take many hours of time and hard work. The entitlement culture that has developed is beyond pathetic.

If it does some of the things they have said like updates current state of maps then you have an advantage over other players who might not have access to it during game. Then by paying for the app you are infact subscribing to the pay to win methods

They need some really significant things to tempt people to part with there hard earned cash, and the app is a perfect tool for it...

Without money they won't be able to maintain there servers or improve the game

What's trivial to some might not be trivial to others. I don't think it's right to label that "entitlement"; on the surface you might look at it like, "You can't spend $5 for an app? That's less than a movie, or a cheeseburger in most places!" but, y'know, $5 adds up. Some people might not have money to devote to something like an app for a video game.

Really starting to hate seeing people use that word, "entitlement," to deride others, especially in the gaming community...

Re: Would you Pay for the Ipad/Android App?


You're talking to a group of PC gamers who are running rigs that are at least $1000, some double or triple that.

There's really no other word to describe it other than people feeling entitled to enjoy other people's hard work for free. If you don't like it - dont' buy it. If you feel it isn't priced well enough, don't buy it. Everyone has choice. Of course people like free stuff, but free stuff is a bonus, not an expectation.
