For anyone that will start saying "what about us? We're already playing the game!"...... hang in there. Getting more coaches, retaining those coaches, and building a better game will open the doors for more and better things for us, the ones already here. HD is the long game. We may not get $2 off of anything now. But the results of more incoming coaches will help impact you and our game in a positive direction going forward. Be patient.

Absolutely .. more players mean they can lower prices. We all win.

Not one promo recently for existing members or long-term coaches. Perhaps an anniversary discount offering?

Do you really feel that prices will go down at any point in time? You have much more confidence than I do in that economic model.

Beat me to it.

Lower prices or discounts for vets isn't what I was referring to. But who cares. They already hooked us. My point was just that if we can get new coaches to stay, there's reasons for future development within the game. Which is what we all ask for anyways, in various manners

I'm not saying next week.

All I meant was .. no players and the thing goes under or at the very least they fire more devs.

If the game grows and more money is coming in, there is at least an incentive to give more rewards / lower prices. Without users, nothing gets better, it only gets worse.

I'm came here to see the promo discussion, but I'm staying to hear Benis's lesson on capitalism.

Perhaps it's more like capitalism 201.

But WIS has the dumbest business model, it's completely backwards. New users carry most of the cost burden while long time users can often pay very little or even nothing. I haven't paid a dime for this game in 8 years. It makes no sense at all.

Someone give me an example of a successful business/product/service that does it this way.
