Is this the start of offering items for rl cash?

Nop,It's just a bonus add for premium And i don't think cipsoft will offer donors
But let's say it this way
You say that cipsoft will start donors and you guys are like :O
But all the mmorpg's out there has the same things
And btw you cannot donate for cipsoft they get over millions per year
So let's just say it's an add premium bonus


Edit: It doesn't affect the gameplay like items and stuff it's only a mount brah

Yeah, It's not an acutal job, I just do it when I have time, I go around and mow lawns, do yard work etc.
When I become 16, I'm getting a job off of my friend's brother to work for Texaco, a lawn business. xD

What's wrong with this thread: http://otland.net/f257/so-they-did-again-first-time-since-2002-a-141250/
?

 

[Darkhaos]

Is not a donation offer. Is an incentive for players to see that it is worth buying premium times this month.

 

[Nymphis]

Unless it affects the overall economy in any way shape or form it probably isn't worth comparing to to "donors".

 

[Mex Lunatic]

Fuck rl tibia, it's all what i wanted to say, Thank u!

The tibia players are decreasing in last years, for that reason they are adding promotions and giving ruffles. No money = no game.

If the average of players keep decreasing A LOT, they will have to reduce the premium price if they want to keep their players and of course their money.


Overall Maximum: 64028 players (on Nov 28 2007, 19:26:00 CET)
4 years have passed and they cant beat this record. There has to be a reason...
2007 = The client gamestyle and the protocol were great, after 2007 they added auto-runes with hotkeys and bye.

 

[Evan]

actually a few months

No, it was in 2007.
