All events mirror the Chinese server (except in costs)

If we don't see any free events on the Chine ...

so true on the cost....... chinese servers get more bang for their buck

I think we should have more events that are free, I am vip 4 so far on server 30, the ice cristal event was fun and made people show up more often, paid players are the life blood of the servers, but without the free players as well there is not enough people to have it be fun and competitive. With that event free players could get more spirit stones. I was a free player until that event then i topped up for the first time so i could get more vitality to keep playing. Ive topped up a little each week since then. More events like that one make alliance battles better cause more people are on to do them. They also make the server events more fun and the chat lively. I think its bad for business to not have free events. Who wants to play a mmo alone?


Also on a side note i had to comment on what was said about welfare and minimum wage sorry.

Minimum wage is not livable unless you have more than one 40 hr a week job and have no children. Rent at even the crappiest run down and small place is at least 450 a month. If you live in the right city. Most of the time its way more than that if you live in most of the places in the U.S.. Also, nowhere will rent to you unless you make more than 3x the rent at least thats the standard in my city. so that means you would have to make 1,400 a month after taxes just to get an apartment. but even if you achieve that, it only leaves you with 900 for the rest of the month for food, toiletries, bus, phone, electricity, heat, emergencies, medical copays ect.) The person who said it is a livable wage is ignorant they should live off of it and see how far they get. Now, should minimum wage be raised? No. It is difficult to claw your way up out of that situation but that does not mean it is impossible offering higher minimum wages will not fix anything. Price of living will go up, prices in the stores forced to pay more for their workers will go up. Nothing will change. The welfare system is ridiculously flawed as well. It rewards people for having children they cannot afford pushing them further into debt for an unlivable amount without other government help and helps them dig themselves deeper into a hole. Now I agree there are many people who are misusing the system too and many others who made poor decisions early in their lives that feel stuck. I think that if the system was revamped it could run more efficiently and push people toward self sustainability, but it won't be.

Would be good to add 1 event for f2p and one for vip ones

well as usual... a lot hav stressed tht FREE events should come out more often so

the F2P can b more competitive wit the higher VIPs...  well lets see if GOGAMES becomes more GIVIN...

otherwise just slowly wait or slowly quit the game when u cant catch up... if some r so keen on catchin up...

n hope to b like fellow VIPs who throw a ton into the game...


i do agree tht not all r rich enuf to fork up a certain amount to play the game...

well if u cant realli afford it... then dun spend on the game... playin as F2P is not too bad after all...

dun expect to b super top no.1 in the server if theres higher VIPs around... altho u still can hav chance

to b top 10 playin the game as F2P n growin stronger by planning better...


if u can spend a lil... u would like to budget n plan realli well on spendin on the rite event...


cost of livin high ? ppl dun hav enuf salary or wages ? welfare suck ? well thts life...

we dun hav much welfare in my country... cost of livin gettin higher... n our pay or salary becomin smaller..

thts the fact... we can onli wish for the better n try to find ways to solve it on our own...

remember there is alwiz ppl far worst than urself...

some out there dun even hav food... dun even hav place to stay... dun even hav internet...

i think that a free event per month would be a benefit to the game. take for example the joint task which usually requires a stupid amount of top up and spend of gold to gain anything good. perhaps using the same style of event but make it not have a gold contribution. however making the task a little more difficult to complete but not impossible without spending gold. maybe as rewards have some of the old partners and zanpakutos. this way VIP players such as myself can either not recieve the reward (due to having it already) or having better quality partners from newer release. (also make task rewards worth it for both f2p and vip). might be a stupid idea but i think it would keep players playing and encourage more spend when people see the power they can get.

Perhaps a function to exchange silver into gold. better yet how about an in game trading function where you can trade between accounts (create a proper market) could even expand this for when CSB is on and create a CSB market. dont know how everyone feels about a market but when ive spent gold getting an ultimate equipment set then outgrow it a bit of me dies knowing ive effectively wasted money on it.

Maybe have a double partner reward in UBP or maybe even Partner + Zanpakuto. everyone saves Vitality now for UBP and i think adding two rewards would be good, yes it will benefit all players but give hope again to f2p.

turn Ryoka into a solo player event coz i dont know about anyone else but by the time i get to kill anything its already round 5. also changing rewards for this (epic chests need to go!)

Merging the servers to a workable lvl would be a good idea too, not just a couple but lots toget say 10-15 servers into one and STOP OPENING NEW ONES! (just mentioning that) but at a server merge you could do a merge spectacular for all players, making this a 100% free event with rewards that are epic (due to massive difference in bp/power between old and new servers)

and finally, drop prices to entice gold spending on this game. how ridiculous is 100k gold for one partner? that is borderline extortion. to simply put it charging whatever seems like you will get alot of money for is not a good idea. 1 person buys at 100k, drop price to 20k and maybe just maybe 10 buy at this price, its simple business management, perhaps employ someone who can run a business and also improve customer service for this game. i might still play it but alot of people i know have quit due to the lack of support. (sorry for the mini rant but a monkey can do business better)

I love this game and i love bleach, but the simple fact is, the people behind the scenes do not have a clue. so yeh ive given some ideas and some ideas to how to potentially fix the declining users of this game. will they take note? probably not coz they cant see past what can make their wallets thicker the quickest. sorry if this seems like an attack on this game (well it is), as someone who has had experience in this industry imho i cant see gogames making it past next christmas without making some major changes to the way they run things.

Im vip9 so the free events is a double edge sword. But as long as its given to all, it isn't too bad.
Here's some suggestions for free and vip events:
Milestones - beyond the initial gift packs for levels, extend it to the 150 max level. So at level 100, you gain something, 110, ect.
Anniversary/playing length - each month playing, players could receive items - crystal cores, bright stones, socket stones, hogy talismans. It could be 10,10,1,1 for normal 1 month timeframes, and 25,25,3,3 for each 3 month divisible milestone. 300,300,20,20 at 1 year milestone.
vip rewards - tiered based on vip level - additional silver packs, universal spirit water,  shino stones or mod soul pills, reiatsu pills, exp books, ect. Anything really to acknowledge the $'s spent and encourage more vip to spend. If you're vip10, you'd get the rewards for level 1-10. Vip 4 would get level 1-4 rewards, ect.
Other Free event ideas:
Double exp day - 1x a month
Double silver day - 1x a month
Double partner fragments week
Double hueco points week
Double csb week - extra stones and hollow daily
An event where coupons work the same as gold for buying a partner or zamp. This gives people who are ftp or low vip a chance to get something other than via vit.  
Or time limited partners/zamp. Similar to kenpachi title that expires in 30 days. Rent a fully modded partner who starts at your mc level for a week with coupons. This would be for mid tier partners like sexy orihime, alliance partners, ect. Higher tier can be rented for a week during the events for gold.  This might get others to buy the partners long term when they're available by trying them out, or rent them to beat hollow battles.
I have many other ideas, but I don't want to write a book so i'll leave it at these.
