Recurring subscriptions – your opinion

Recurring subscriptions – your opinion
2013-03-21 09:30 48
In order to make sure that our subscription offers match your expectations, and that everyone finds the option he wants, we just created a new poll about recurring subscriptions.


Following the adaptation of our payment options, due to the merge of EN and NA communities, the one month recurring subscription appeared on the International version of WAKFU.
While this was something new to International players, North Americans were used to have more recurring subscription options.

This brings us to the question: How do you feel about our recurring subscription offers?

Please take the time to answer this poll, in order to help us identify your needs, and maybe adapt our offers.

Thank you.

The purpose of recurring subscription is that:
For the players: Gain benefit for being loyal (or whatever better word) to the game, ease of payment for continuing month.

For the publisher: Gaining loyal players
(and gaining some some-people-would-call-dirty benefits from derp quitters.) The subscription's end date is less likely to discourage bored players from continuing subscribing.

With the current recurring bonus, there are very little incentive for a player to choose recurring, thus the question "why bother recurring?" is repeated over and over again in this thread.

So, to Ankama, how could you give the players an incentive to use recurring?
Simple, put yourself in the customers' shoes, try to make yourself happy.
For example:
  • A few tens of cents off repeating months, like 20 cent or so. I think as long as the rate is still a lil bit higher than 3-month subs its ok?
  • Better subscription gift for repeating months. (The pet gift box was very nice. Yay Tofu for 700 kama ages ago )
I'm not an economic major, much less a marketing one, so I would end my post here. Hope somebody find some sense in it.

I don't see why this game needs recurring sub at all. The current system is fine.

We can't even trade non-sub items to other non-sub players. To me, that is major issue. The game needs a reason to be F2P, and I see none. I am F2P and other than group leveling, the game lacks any motive to be social.

I say ankama shouldn't be to suaded for the excitement of change just because it brings new people. Remember to also think of those still playing and don't anything hugely game changing like adding a refinement system.

Hey, I'm gonna be brutally honest. there isnt enough content in your game to keep subscribers compared to other games it even loses to some F2P games. Although being a pretty good game by its own grounds. its lacking for the price you expect. Your game is a heavily based party game. people want to play with there friends not other subscribers. and alot of people dont play subscription games period. My only advice is to find a different source of income for the game. Perhaps player housing mount system, Or pay for new content such as new dungeons raids expansions. If you carry on the sub method, You'll see your game slowly lose its fanbase.
