10 Reasons Why YOU Should Subscribe - Page 2

**foilman8805** · 08-4-2008, 07:45 PM

Well what do you want me to do, include flowers with my posts to make them seem less harsh? I'm trying to help you make a good thread.

The problem I've always had with subscriptions is that a lot of the functions that come with them should just be things you have access to in the first place. I have to pay money to see my credit transactions? To look at a detailed level rank? To look at token level ranks? I should be able to do with regardless of whether or not I am a subscriber.

I think subscriptions should be similar to a magazine subscription, in terms of implied advantages. Mainly, subscriptions expose you to content before everyone else, which is one function of current subscriptions that I think is pretty cool.

Subscriptions should be all about interesting FFR/song-related content access, or cool new feature access that nobody else can touch. Stuff like credit transactions/ranking lists/etc should just be public in the first place. I find that limiting features for the purpose of supplementing a lack of "exclusive" content is a little gimmicky as a business strategy.

I think more people would buy subscriptions if they were more content-oriented.

I generally agree with the sentiment of this post very much.

I think the reason why a lot of this stuff hasn't been released to the public is server loads, to be blunt. FFR is, and always will be free, and the money that is made from ads and subbies is used to keep it running from what I understand and hope. Until Synthlight and the administration can get a hold of more powerful servers, features will be limited, it's just the fact of the matter.

It would be interesting to know what the administration has in store for the subbies - future projects and whatnot, but they always seem reluctant to tell us.

Let me see what I can do.

I would like to think that most of the original post was common sense. Blue name? oh em gee. Kinda duh. =/

arrekusuof93 · 08-4-2008, 08:49 PM

This is very strange that you did this now because I was 'Shopping a sort of 'ad-like' image which listed the top subscriber features.

You really need to proofread so I think I might do it anyway >_>

HOW CAN U 4GIT NUCLEUS

You could've done a better job with this thread.

jellygod · 08-4-2008, 09:15 PM

classic ffr forums, people like to criticize every thread ahhh :P. nice thread.

operationstrawbarry · 08-4-2008, 09:17 PM

Reason 11:

You can bug the administration all you want and when they tell you to stop, just say "but I bought a subby."

Best reason of all times. Try it. Tass will love you so much.

Izzy · 08-4-2008, 09:18 PM

Really they should just restrict access to ffr the game unless you have a subscription. Thats how real things make money.

**windsurfer-sp** · 08-4-2008, 09:32 PM

Reason I subscribe: I enjoy the ffr site and community. The benefits really are not that special besides the lack of adds.

Reason I would unsubscribe: If ffr started really crippling non subscribers by taking away features or making basics like songs subscriber only. Or if they made subscribers view adds, or if they made different grades of subscribers.

Xx{Midday}xX · 08-4-2008, 09:34 PM

Reason I subscribe: I enjoy the ffr site and community.

Reason I would unsubscribe: If Tass stopped becoming Tass longer.

Forget subscriptions lol, I'll just pay FFR like I pay OD.

MrRubix_MK5 · 08-4-2008, 09:38 PM

Izzy: That would be a horrible model for FFR.

**x After Dawn x** · 08-4-2008, 09:42 PM

Yeah Izzy, that's not a good idea...

Izzy · 08-4-2008, 09:43 PM

Was an exaggeration, but it would have to be something big and worthwhile.
