Yes, it is on the server so you do not have to be in game all the time.

Wow Arakira that would be perfect! Locking a house for 24hrs unless a change is made. That would be sweet. I found 1hr was just to quick as I would go to bed and find repeat scouts/deaths and then a robbery cleaning me out before I got up in the morning. However the 24hr chills prevents people from re-entering my house and building up my cash through bounties... well doesn't prevent it but slows it down to a snails pace.

If the family is killed you don't need a path.

I just found out the hard way that trap doors don't conduct electricity. ... lost about 30k. Start over and built a crappy starter and someone walked in and died giving me almost 40k! jumped into house.. "currently being robbed". Got cleaned out and had to commit suicide and start over.. /cry

Should have read the wiki instead of assuming.

It seems when I hit 50k I get robbed. Even by rearranging my house path. Tempted to suicide and make a whole new house. /sigh.

Only thing he needs now is ANDROID! Then I can log in from anywhere and watch security tapes of people dying hehehehehe!

Not just alt's, friends too. It doesn't stop it completely but makes it at least a little harder to be exploited.

LOL thats it exactly. Altho was gutted that someone ran right through my whole house perfectly and didn't even need their tools. pure luck. No one had made it halfway before let alone scouted the whole thing.

inactivity or some macro setup should be able to be tracked. People that are playing unfairly should have their funds wiped.

I leave my game on the tapes list and just click the "filter" button to refresh it.

The measure of quality with sales is waaaay off the mark. A perfect example would be Call of Duty games. IMO the quality of these games has deteriorated greatly over the years however the sales for these games breaks records almost every time. TBH I'd rather play this than CoD Ghosts.
Most games these days go for the graphics over gameplay. Super real graphics and effects and meh gameplay with little replay value. That way you get bored and buy their next game. Here its about a great game made not to sucker in masses to forking out money or to be boring super fast and on to the next one. It seems more like someone who made a game THEY wanted to play and are selling it for enough to help pay bills but cheap enough to build a good community. Becoming super rich is not a part of the equation.
I could see a lot of different options he could have done with the pricing model. I think even myself I may have done it differently, but I do not disagree with this pricing model at all.
Its a great "sales tactic", about getting people that WANT to play so he has people to play with. If that is wrong and selling mass games to people that probably will never play them just be become super rich is right... I'd rather talk and hang with the wrong people.

You are a rare breed Jason. A genuine honest person that isn't looking for money by ripping people off.
"But I really want those people to save their money for other things and NOT waste it on my game, at any price."

IMO the problem is that big game companies try to sell their games at overpriced amounts. So they have these sales to entice people to buy. The flip side to that is your pricing model. ...Here's the price, its not overboard its realistic, if you want it buy it.
I don't like the fact that games come out for $100+. It seems really overpriced. However, looking at the sales tactic which seems to be running rampant, the games NEED to be that much so when the sales hit its reduces the price to the intended amount. Its complete bull.

Stick to your guns on this POV regardless of any negative feedback you may get. I think you are on the right side of this debate. Imagine if EVERY game had this pricing model. We would see CoD or BF games being released for $10-$15 instead of the ridiculous pricing we see today. People that cant afford those high price tags would actually be able to get the games they want rather than have to wait for sale X.
