Monetization Overhaul

No premium package. Instead all upgrades can be purchased through either SP or protocoins.

In addition, the general, all premium strats such as Iron Fist and Desert Storm, and all initial strats (Relentless Attack, PD, NC) will all be turned into upgrades available through either SP or protocoins.

If priced properly I believe this would generate a much higher income stream for Ivan and Amok, allowing them to quit their day jobs and dedicate their time where it should be, entirely to AW (and secondly to their families). Not only would it not compromise the integrity of the game, like those dreaded pay to win games, but it would also be incredibly fair to those players like clovis1122 who played long periods without the benefit of premium features, notably the general who is a must have feature for more competitive play.

Players are much more likely to spend $5 10 times, than $50 once.

You could also then sell bundles like "PD Bundle" offering the strat (which is no longer free), faster inf, cheaper inf, etc.

I don't want to overdue it but let's be honest: this is a really good idea and should be implemented right away after the removal of VRIL from his mod position.

Lol he said secondly to their families

Id buy this but, what happens to people who already bought prem? Do they get back the money in PC to be able to buy different stuff?

Purchasing general with protocoins, interesting. Definitely support, after the removal of vril as moderator of course

Wait ...did i understand corectly, everything would be available to buy with SP? ...why would anyone spend protocoins or money on upgrades then?

Because eventually a new player will want certain upgrades right away. It takes a long time.

Seems like a good idea, but SP farming would have to be policed more effectively. Also, SP gained from some scenarios would need to be reduced.

No support

Then full package premium would cost about 60k sp

Just make everything very costly in SP
Also i propose making editor free untill you publish the map (and with a possible scenario) and when you reach 500 plays on it you get it for free (because obviously its a good map then and youre maps skills are improving the comunity)
Btw im too poor for that 40 damn dollar package, and Generals are really damn usefull (thx 4Chan)

But ye i support this all around, i wanted to buy premium during the sale in march-juli last year but when my credit card finnally was usable for internetz the sale ended

But anywhay, make generals like 100k sp or 500 pc, many players would wanna buy it rather then spending a fuckload of sp on it, also buying a strat for 1 day is like 100 pc and so very overpriced, while it costs like 10k sp to get it forever

Just make everything look cheap but actually make it expensive in the long run
