I know this has been suggested before, but I would like to go about it in a slightly different way. I would like people to not to immediatly think that this is a bad idea, or say "if you want perma-grey go to legends".


Pros

No dissconect after games
Less price than a full gold account

Cons

No /chatfilter option

Hm... Well, a $2-$3 account sounds like an idea. At least it's not like the accounts are greys-made-golds for less cash.

Dres sees nothing except building his post count.


Anyways I like the suggestion, alot of good greys would also like this suggestion. There's alot of good greys you just wanna stay grey forever but don't wanna be deleted.

I like this option but if its 2 dollars less why not just get gold. The only thing that stops people from buying gold is that they do not want or have no paypal account. So this idea wouldn't, in my opinion, be a big deal at least to TAO.

I would definetely buy one of these accounts. But it would probably screw up the rankings cos the greys would take over :p

The Highest a grey would get would probably be around 1500.

Oh, really? It's a good thing you came here to tell us, otherwise we'd all be clueless! Good thing you're so thoughtful, since nobody else was kind enough to share that information!

Oh... wait...

I really like this idea. I would prolly stop playing gold all together, perma greys would be soo much funner. No gold units at all.. unlike legends. This opens doors for so many other things. Good idea Bama.

Because some people don't like playing gold games EVER, so that's 2 dollars a month or whatever they don't have to spend.

Also an advantage of this over gold is you don't have a gold account so you don't appear to be jumping greys. It also saves you the hassle specifying a grey game anytime you challenge someone or ask for a game.

Buster

Here is one reason I do not like it, it can be easly abused.

See a user pays for a gold account, thats 5 dollars. (That user gets the units, makes a clan)

The user then stops paying for gold, but gets this account, the user is now a gold for only 3 dollars.

Busta spelled "with" wrong.
He accidentally spelled it "will"

And you say speak English?

Are you stupid?



And when you say "Thats what your doing."

You mean you're, meaning you are and thats exactly what I am doing. I am trying to get number 1 by posing Dres with 100 rep every 2 days. Yeah, thats exactly what I am doing.

I am gonna be number 1 in 6 years! W00t! :rolleyes:

I like the suggestion. I think $5 should be the perma grey accounts. $10 should be a gold account, or atleast a a gold account for 3 months or so.

It is not legends-esk because of no gold drop units. As for what buster said, if someone reports a perma-grey who has gold units they can be deleted, just like a spammer, cheater, scammer or cyberor.

Besides Bills making LESS money?

Permagreys means less people would go gold to keep their account. Not being wiped is one of the biggest selling points of being gold.

LESS money how? Gold $5 a month. Grey a one time cost of say $10?
So how is it LESS money? :confused:

So how is it LESS money? :confused:
$5 a month for 12 months = $60
$10 for a one time payment = $10

So, your "make more money" creates $50 LESS a year per account that chooses top be permagrey.

EVen on a short term basis, your break-even point is 2 months. Anything beyond 2 months a player would have been gold is a loss of money.


And going on his original premise, which is less money than a gold, you then still lose a smaller amount each month.

so it takes money each moth to not wipe accounts? then why make a gold on legends just 10$?

Because that is Seeds server to play with, and the majority of the money to keep it running comes from the payments here.

And how do you not understand that YES, it takes $5 a month to not wipe an account here. They are called GOLD accounts, whereas the FREE accounts called GREY accounts are wiped on an irregular basis.

no you idiot. people who go perma grey will not go gold. bills makes more money just having golds. it costs bandwith not to wipe accounts, but with a much cheaper option, people wont go gold.

I get your point... but god damn did that sound retarded. "Good enough to have their grey forever" :huh:
/Slap

Being wiped is a nuissance, people like their drops, might like to sit on their stats, dislike people "stealing" their accounts, etc. etc.

Not that I'm for this idea.
