Edited by rthammer at 2014-8-21 14:07

I would like to know if you think there should be more free events.
If yes, tell me what you would like to see & I will forward them to the Devs.

If no, explain to me why there shouldn't be and defend why not.

I say no, this is just my personal opinion but... If you were to add more F2P events then all those who pay would be out of the money they spent & on top of that they would dominate the event even more & it just wouldn't help the free to play players.

Well one or two free events for once like 1 month or 2 wouldn't be that bad, so the free users could get some oportunities, people who get gold ofc will get more advantages still so it's not that bad

All events mirror the Chinese server (except in costs)

If we don't see any free events on the Chinese server, we won't see them here.

Yeah, one or two a month wouldn't be that bad but it would just leave everything the same game wise. The paid players will still be on top & the F2P players would still be weaker because they would get the same events and better rewards for being 1-5..

The only way to solve the problem is have a event for F2P then a separate for P2P but that won't happen. As it would be to much of a hassle for the devs to do with keeping track of everyone.

Well sayed, well I'm non vip and rank 6 on arena 5 on bp on server EU 5, you can still be top 10 if you play good, and I'm planing on wasting gold on this game I enjoy it a lot
author: MisterMusashi    time: 2014-8-21 15:50:50

I remember a while ago in UN there was an event that DOUBLED the points earned towards VIP rank from the gold you topped up, which halved the VIP requirements. This was a kick in the ass for VIP players (though there were still rewards for being certain VIP levels), but it allowed those who weren't high VIP to catch up for less cost. But people still complain because they don't get to be VIPs for free, and they always will. Everybody wants the things people have paid for without paying for it; it's like Americans and welfare. But it's understandable, to a point; many of them just think too unrealistically about it, though. (I had more things to say but gotta get goin')

I agree with you.. Though I do think they should have a place in the store to turn silver into gold. Say 10,000 silver is 5 gold or something like that. They can't become ViP but at least the features that only allow gold & not coupons to be used can be used by free players. Not everyone has the money to top up to get more gold.

are you saying poor disabled people that use welfare to survive because they can't work when the cost of living in america is ridiculously high they shouldn't get welfare?


and comparing it to a VIDEO GAME when entitled children with mommies credit card to get ahead are the same thing? i find this statement highly offensive considering some of my best friends are just barely getting by sometimes they go 2-3 days without eating and the only way to get food is through welfare  your comparison is extremely ignorant and you obviously don't know what its like to have no money, no food, and can barely survive on the measly amounts of money you make in america


their should be more free events because it allows f2p players to enjoy the game more and give them incentive in the future "hey this last event was pretty cool, i can see why people spend gold to do some of the vip events maybe now i'll join in because i know what its like now"

this coupled with lower gold costs would make gogames MUCH more profit than making every event vip only


its people like you that give this game such a bad reputation and for all the poor struggling families you just spit on go fuck yourself you entitled piece of shit

rthammer i'm happy you voicing the opions of the people ill make sure to think of some good ideas for ya.

1 achievments
2 Maybe a way too boost average level of players on server such as players under the average level get an exp boost maybe more bonuses
3 change honor shop prices
4 i maybe make an event for items that only people under a certant bp or levle can enter to catch up

i realize im a little all over the place with my post but atleast on server 8 our problem is for 1 lack of players the gap in vip and non vip
Just want to think of ways to keep people around and running smoothly
server 8 quincy during evil spirit has a whole 8 people usually maybe 30 total in event between all clans makes game very hard and boring want it to be fun and active lol ona  side note i shouldnt post when im sleepy i go on and on lol
Also can you ask if the pgm is still going on since not only do most of them inactive but it  seems even the forum post on it is sorta inactive

these events have features that give free players stuff though like collect crystals as a free player sure you won't get dark ruika, hell me as a vip6 won't be getting it either. but you still get free stones from the crystal gift packs. granted i don't really like how they nerfed the gifts compare to the chinese server and upped the crystal cost but what can you do.
author: NeoDecimo    time: 2014-8-22 01:30:32

Considering that majority of the population in any MMO are free players, it wouldn't really hurt much if they introduced an event where free players actually have some grounds of achieving things/items similar to the paying players (Though it may take quite the grind. And VIPs obviously should have an advantage in every event, it is their right.)
For example :
This Crystals event, they could introduce the crystals as Items (that can be stored in the inventory) and can be exchanged for better Giftpacks. They could introduce this event like say, once every 2 months or so with new characters every 2 events (1st-2nd event Dark Rukia, 3rd-4th event Dark Rukia and Hitsugaya Toshiro and so on). If that happens VIPs would obviously get their hands on Dark Rukia, the second or third time around while it may take free players 6-7 events. But hey, atleast there is hope that f2p players can get their hands on something so OP if they give it hard work and Time. VIPs shouldn't have a problem with this as they would already be out of f2p player's reach by the time they get their hands on that specific item. Look at it like a never ending 'Race' where the "Speed' matters not the 'Destination'.

Think about it ;)

what your saying works usually for mmorpgs with a large player base but its something that p2w browser games on any site have never implied and tbh don't think ever will. Also we get EVERY feature, etc from the chinese publishers gogames doesn't change anything other than upping the cost and translation lol.

Obviously I didn't mean the people who actually need and deserve welfare... my statement implied that I was talking about the ridiculous amounts of leeches getting on welfare and crud as a free ride because they think they deserve it; they want the people who work to have to pay more so they don't have to work for anything just because those who do work have more. Now watch yourself and your language.

Not really, The idea that I just suggested is actually one that have been implemented numerous times in a game I used to play (Yes, it was p2w).

It's name was Naruto Saga/Spirit and i managed to get almost all the VIP only characters because they made it available for f2p players on later stages. So no, you cannot say it's never been implied before just like that my friend ;)
And Ofcourse i know it cannot be implemented unless the chinese server implements it, All i was trying to do was give a good suggestion that can work to both the VIP's and Free players Interests.

I agree that this game should allow f2p people to be able to compete somewhat with the p2p people.

but im not sure why you snuck in "disabled" into your arguement, i know far too many people that take advantage of welfare, ei, disability, injury payments; and the people that work for a living are paying for it.

as for your friends that go starving for days, they maybey have to budget themselves better, minimum wage is set so a person can afford a home and food, not too live in a nice house with a nice car and buy liquer every night.

and not everyone is an entitled pieces of shit, some of us just work hard for what we have.

What the devs DO need is a way to balance the events to be within set lvl ranges, I hate doing guild wars and having a couple of the top players being 15+ lvls ahead of others. Now if they only allowed 50-59 lvls that would give the f2p a better chance to actually compete.

Just my opinion.

so you want like separate lvl guild wars? like a 50-59 war and then a 60-69 war. that would be quite good if guild wars was a solo activity like evil spirit or ryoka but because it involves guilds it would split up a guild and make it harder for smaller guilds to break top 10 when there stronger players go up to the next rank.

if you wanna be a strong non vip you need to play everyday and since the day of the server openning since you can enjoy the first reward boosts, that will make you good but that's how you get a good non vip not just by playing "decent"

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.

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...

author: [email protected]    time: 2015-4-22 17:08:38

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.

I live in a decent place in a low end part of town and my rent is $400 a month. When I lived in south Louisiana I made $225 a week after taxes and as a white male with a full time job didn't qualify for any government assistance, yes because I am a white male. Had white females and both sexes of blacks that qualified that made more than I did, not that that maters.  Even had one to fill out the paperwork with me and I was denyed. My rent for a 2 bedroom trailer was $275 a month. No cable. Cheap internet. It was 2005 and I drove a '93 Toyota Corolla that I had to make sure kept oil in it. Had an alright life. Nothing amazing. But livable. Had a little spending money. Had some entertainment money. Got tired o minimum wage. Worked extra hard. Got a raise. After work and before too I looked for a better job. Found it. At that job after a year I did that again. And so on and so forth. Now after taxes I bring home $535 a week and have a very decent life. So fuck your minimum wage argument. Live in your means and if you need more money don't look for a hand out. Get off your ass and go get that paper. It's out there. Mow lawns. Rake leaves. Help someone move. Get a second job. Stop making excuses and start making money.

I think there must be more free events because we like free things well to be honest I think of "yes" and " Keep it how it is!" at the same time. maybe they can add a one more free event to their event schedule.

and imo, not Ryoka attacks not arena attacks but stage attacks must be able to skip for free players too. because it's so annoying to watch such a lame fight. I am not talking about ryoka and ES but stages.
