Evony Earnings
November 4th 2009 02:34
Can free browser games such as Evony Free Forever survive long term? Heavily reliant on the optional purchase of in-game coins - the developers rely heavily on players getting addicted to these MMORPG style games and wanting to take things to the next level.
Blizzard were the early gurus of this, doing it well with World of Warcraft and before that with Diablo.
Putting together a good game, then luring in players who become engrained and eventually shell out cash to keep playing (in Blizzards case on a monthly basis)
But for the free browser game world this is a little different. There aren't the confirmed monthly subscription payments, but they are relying on gamers to shell out at varied intervals.
In the case of Evony - this might mean a dump of cash from players at one stage, but then also mean 1-2 months without payment (assuming the gamer is even keen on playing again)
Great game, good graphics and all - but can it be sustained?
What do you guys think?
