Default P2P areaas

I was thinking you could add a fairly large update with new areas that you have to have a "gold account" to go into. (would take a lot of work from the wizards which makes me know this will get turned down). With the added money coming from the P2P areas, you could use it to advertise on networking sites (facebook, myspace, twitter, etc etc...) and thus help to get more people into the game. To get a "gold account" you would need to pay a one time fee of 5$ which in all honesty isn't that much.

This came up on the wizard forum back in 2003 (in the form of a theoretical discussion) and we decided that we are not overly fond of the idea of making content that not everyone has access to. Wyvern was made to be a free game and if money making efforts needed to come into the equation, creating a divide between those willing to pay for things and those who aren't, would be way down on the list.

But, I get the impression that you really just want Wyvern to have a larger playerbase. Well, don't worry, we have plenty of ideas on how to get there that are a lot better than getting such a small playerbase to pay for everything that would be needed to get done before advertising could even be feasible. However, as mentioned at the start of this... there are a lot of changes that we are going to be making, during this stage, which will be counterproductive to keeping a large playerbase and stage 2 will cause the playerbase to suffer further. However, these things need to get done if Wyvern is to have a future and so by the time we move into stage 3, we will not only be able to focus on the type of fun updates that attract players (and keep them around) but we will start advertising the game again. Which we will be doing without paying for ads - There are only so many players that the server can handle and although we hope that Rhialto can make some improvements in that area, down the road, we are not going to be able to handle so many that we can't attract them through free advertising.
