The Merry Adventures of a YGGDRASIL Player [Overlord Quest]

Reader mode
If I could ask for a further clarification...

Alright, so let's take a look at two common western MMOs, with World of Warcraft as one example and Runescape as another. Let's start with RS, which is the system people some people seem to believe is in play. (WoW actually originally had the "buy disc first for more money, then subscribe after" system of payment, and they regularly sell DLC for larger amounts with a month's subscription tacked on, so your claim of "don't buy out of spite" is inaccurate, though the first system was later dropped as technology marched forward.)

In Runescape, you can buy one month for 14.99, three months for 10, and one year for 8.34 (99.99 per year). In these instances, buying one month cost 14.99, three is 30, and as stated, 100 for a year. However, on buying any subscription, you always pay the full amount up front. It does't matter if you ended up losing internet access or otherwise couldn't play, you paid the full value of money up front, leaving you with a promise of service with an option to auto-renew at the end of the subscription timer for another lump sum payment. Technically you could petition the legal department to end a subscription you're only a few days in on, but in most cases, the money is already in their hands instantly, and you don't pay anymore after the first lump sum, period, auto-renewals aside.

Compare and contrast WoW, which has 14.99 for one month and I think 12.99 for six months (DLC purchases aside). In this instance, WoW follows your apparent current model; you are signing a contract and are legally required to pay for your subscription to WoW every month until the contract expires. If you decide you want six more months after two months have passed, then another "purchase" just means you lock in 6 more monthly payments at the same cost until the contract expires; eight months later, the second contract is still going strong, and you are required to pay until a total of 12 months of times have passed from your original signing date, which is the combined time of your two contracts.

One system requires a lump payment up front, the other uses a promissory note that says, "I promise to pay the server owners [Yggdrasil] every month so long as the contract states." BOTH systems use a method of selling subscriptions to other plays in-game for a bunch of in-game currency, which I'm not sure on here.

In other words, assuming we as players of this quest don't care about (or expect, for that matter) random costs outside of our game, then we should always buy the 12 month subscription if we can. It's just the best option if we're not planning to try to buy a subscription with in-game currency (a long way off, to be sure). Even then, saving up our remaining 40 USD would beat out hitting the payment button every month, leaving us with 60 extra dollars available per year.

So here's where the clarification comes in: We're apparently using system 2, right? The Contract system, where we just hit accept right now and then we're good to go? Buying 12 months here is allowed? On that note, are we expecting real life things to pop up and screw with us along the way, which would require us to save more money? Is there a system in Yggdrasil that allows players to buy Premium membership with in-game currency?

Finally, will the Premium shop be locked if we ever lose membership, and/or are there any "Premium only" items reserved for Members (a Runescape flaw)? I'm asking this one because there are a number of games where you don't have to be a full-time member to access the premium shop. They like money.

I'm probably not going to vote a whole bunch here, just planning to lurk from time to time, but I think other players may be confused. Personally, I just don't want to make assumptions. Hopefully this wall of text doesn't confuse people further.

TL;DR: Is this a lump sum payment or a contract, and what other fine print are we worried about?

I'll clarify it quickly. You can pay all the 3 months up front directly or you can delay it until the end of the 3 months or you can pay gradually each month. It depends on what you want.
Here Karen will pay gradually each month since that's what her current financial situation allows her to do. Its mostly since the Devs know not everyone has the same financial capabilities to pay everything upfront.

As an example, let's say you took the 3 months one. Karen if she choose to can pay just 12.99 USD per month, or pay directly now all of the 3 months 38.97 USD, or wait until the end of the 3 months to pay that 38.97 USD. It'll be retired automatically from your bank account since there is a signed contract you agreed to.
It doesn't really matter all that much to the company itself since they'll receive the money in the end.

There are Premium-only items, although extremely few of them are actually useful. Most of them are cosmetics or mounts.

Yes, you can buy a Premium Membership with in-game currency, although it's pretty taxing. The conversion rate goes like this, approx 10 USD/500 Million Gold.
So it's pretty hard to get. In the upper-levels you do gain gold in the millions but yeah. 500 million is a lot just for 10 dollars if you wanted a Premium Membership, it's better to spend real money on it than waste hours of your life trying to get the equivalent of 14.99 USD in golds for just a month of premium membership.

You'll be locked out of the premium shop once you lose membership, yes. Since the cheapest item you could find there is for 5 USD, so if people are willing to pay for that, they'll pay for the membership. The Devs are currently satisfied with the current system, making the Premium shop available to everyone didn't cross their mind. I mean, they can take a look at it but they can't really buy anything from it without membership. So unless memberships buys decrease drastically, I doubt the Devs would open it for everyone. Japanese games are heavy-grind or P2W generally, so something like this is normal for them. Although YGGDRASIL stand out for it being easy to level up which is counter-balanced by the fact that if you die, you lose five levels and a random item of your inventory. It can be a real pain in the ass since most items are a hundred times worth those five levels you lost.

And don't worry, I post an update every 24h or 48h because of timezones, so I leave everyone the chance to vote before I call the votes.

Wait, the minimum is 5 USD? I thought that those kinds of games loved ~100 yen purchases for lotto-type things? In fact, with it being USD, aren't there micro-transactions that drain you at 100-500 Yen, which is .89-4.44 USD (fake fiction world fluctuations permitting)?
...Personally, I despise the lotto system in games like this, because like a real one-armed bandit, trying to win there simply isn't viable in the long run, or in many players' cases, at all. I'm not advocating the random roll purchases, but I recognize that others probably will, so I'm arguing on their behalf. Somebody has too, y'know?
That, and depending on how you run the system, this being our "Player One" might tilt the odds. I'd still advocate just, well, not, but we don't know if equipment like Premium items drop on PVP death, either. Lessons to learn, I guess.
EDIT: On re-reading, a "random item" is lost on death. So yes, our purchases might be fleeting.

You're right, I somehow misjudged the conversion rate between the yen and the USD. 100 Yen is 0.89 USD and approx 560 Yen is 5 USD. I think I mixed them up somehow. I apologize. The minimum price in the shop is 0.89 USD, there are lots of useless 100-Yen items and cosmetics there.

And the loto/gacha system is something integral to Japanese culture, they have gacha games in every little corner near shops where you can get toys, figurines and the like. It naturally translated very well into their gaming culture. Japanese people don't have much free time, they don't really have the time to grind and so spending lots of money on games is a bit normal for them. Look up Fate/Grand Order which is a prime example of a gacha system that's one of the best money-making games out there.

Although, I do agree its one of the worst systems out there that rely purely on luck. Devs make sure to make everything valuable have very low chances of actually showing up so that their players keep spending more. It's a never-ending loop.

Theres also an often theme of ensuring that you can guarantee getting the current event item upon spending enough rolls in a time limited period. Great way for getting people to blow their life savings on it, because they 'know' this is the best chance to get the item without having to roll a 4% chance to draw a 5 star, and then roll the even WORSE chance to land on the specific 5 star you wanted.

(and then next event you regret because it turns out not to be that useful after all)
 
Though I may not have the chance to vote again, as there are other things on my plate, I'm going to pre-vote the following even before the premium shop opens (missing X to prevent the voting system from breaking):

[] The gacha system is a money pit. Buy only things you know you want, IE a basic mount, otherwise save money for "Starter Kit!" things with a 100% chance of getting a God-Tier item or whatever is available. Never play the JP¥100 games. The "draw you in" offers may be worthwhile even if the "normal" lotto has borderline-illegal odds. Know when to stop, and it's usually before the first purchase.

The Ancient Tomb and the Ghostly Forests - Part 2
  • Threadmarks
    • Dialogues:
    Normal - Japanese
    Italic - English

    ​

    Seriously, attacking a three-player party would be stupid and they look nice enough, and so you get out of your hiding spot. The vampire rogue must be really bad at her job for not detecting you earlier. You stay a bit cautious, no need to get yourself killed so early in the game!

    "Heya, fellas! Can I ask you a few questions?" that seemed like a good start or so you would think. All three of them jumped at the ready as they each unsheathed their weapons. They seemed a bit wary of you. The way their body moved could tell you that even if you couldn't see any expression on their faces. No shit, Sherlock. The paladin in ironically black armor is the one to step forward.

    "Who are you?" Did you scare them that much? Did they seriously expect that no one would notice the rising smoke in the sky in the middle of the night, on the edge of a forest? Or perhaps this is an ambush to draw in careless newbies like you? It certainly worked. Heh. You actually approach them more which make them more nervous. They're a bit like cats, you think or at least that's the impression you have of them. They suddenly jump at their feet at your sudden appearance and showing their metaphorical teeth as you approach them. Not that far off of a comparison, you'll say. Anyway, If they turn hostile, you'll have to be close to punch them. Staying at a 'safe' distance if things go awry wouldn't really help you since you're a pure-melee fighter. You wonder if punching a player feels different from punching an NPC. Probably not.

    "I'm a new player, just started out today actually. 'StormDoom' and the one who's going to be the best player in this game so you better pay attention to that username in the future." You reply cheekily. It's not arrogance or overconfidence when you are sure that'll be true. Right? You set out for your objective to be the one who'll stand at the top of this game. It sounds like a cheesy thing to say for a video-game but who cares? You certainly don't. It's definitely better as an objective than hoping for your pay to be raised at your job. No way that would actually happen in a thousand year.

    "I don't know about Japanese people but in my country, its pretty impolite to ask for someone's name without presenting, themselves first... If it wasn't clear, I'm asking for your names." You just outed yourself as a foreigner but it didn't really matter all that much. Your heavy western accent while speaking Japanese say it all. They still seemed a bit wary, and so are you but they finally sheathed back their weapons.


    "Nofuku here. What the hell do you want? That's a pretty confident statement, there. I wonder if you can back it up." Nofuku, the fighter in steel armor raised a skeptic eyebrow at you. Did she buy that expression for these kinds of situations? Eh, a waste of money. You should be the suspicious one, here! She started off rude when you were friendly. She had a pretty cool ornate steel shield, though. Damn, she must be in full-steel equipment. Lucky. You'll get something like that soon enough. No, you'll get an even better Steel armor! That's a promise there, Nofuku.

    ​

    "Hai. YaoiSensei, nice to meet you. StormDoom-san." The vampiress was a lot more polite, while she made her character show a slight smile. Are all of these people here, Premium Players? You wouldn't waste money to make your character 'smile'. Chat emoticons are free and with that money, you're wasting on cosmetics, you could spend it on actually useful items or Gold packs in the game. You stop internally complaining at them. They must be well-off enough that it probably doesn't matter to them. Still, you go back a bit. Who the hell would call themselves 'YaoiSensei'? Ah, who are you kidding? This is Japan.

    "Ah. A pleasure StormDoom-san. I'm Yasukazu. You just took us off guard and YGGDRASIL is a dangerous game to play, you need to always watch your back. You can come and sit down with us." You did, although they left an entire side for you as they grouped themselves in the other. Why are they avoiding you that much? Well, you're a stranger but come on. You clear your throat for a bit to clear the atmosphere. You don't like awkward silences, that's the worst thing to ever exist. Why does it exist? You break the ice immediately. You just remembered why the hell you approached them here in the first place. You smirk. They can't see it but they must definitely hear it.

    "To answer your question, Nofuku-chan," you ignore the undignified annoyed grunt from the mentioned person. "You seemed like you're experienced players, any advice I should take in a PvP area? Apart from the starting cities, PvP is allowed everywhere, so I thought that I should be prepared." they seemed a bit bewildered at your question.

    "Really? Is that your question?" asked you Nofuku-chan. It seems like you and Nofuku don't mix well, water and oil. She's too salty at your awesomeness, of course. Still, you nod at her question. Yasu-something picks up from there. "It's pretty simple. Don't wander alone. When you are alone, you're vulnerable to other players who patrol around in groups looking for solo-players to kill. I'm level 25, Nofuku-san here is level 23, so we don't have to worry as much especially in the area around here. YaoiSensei-san just created a new character so she's only level 3 right now. We're here to help her level up. We met each other on TSS and we stuck together from game to game since then." TSS, Tactical-Strategy Simulator. Not your kind of game to be honest. Its pretty old now, too. Its been 20 years since it released, you can't believe its still getting updates nowadays. YaoiSensei-chan, this time is the one to speak. She has kind of a cutesy soft voice but with that kind of username? You can only imagine her as a fanatic BL fan. She can only blame herself for that.

    "Anyway, StormDoom-san. You can join us temporarily if you want to and if you find yourself liking our group, you could perhaps permanently join us!" YaoiSensei-chan looked positively happy at the idea, Yasu-bud seemed pretty neutral while Nofuku wasn't quite accepting of that.

    "Why the hell would we want to add a complete stranger to our party? And a gaijin at that! She could backstab us at any moment." Nofuku-chan is a tiny bit overestimating you. Not that you would normally mind but in this type of situation, you definitely do. You're only level 4 while she is level 23. How the hell would you beat her? That's suicide. Yasu-bud seems to think the same.

    "Even if she did, we're far ahead of her. It'll do more harm than anything for her to backstab us. I'm okay with StormDoom-san joining us if she so wished to." Thanks for the help there, Yasu-bud but you aren't quite sure about that yet on whenever or not, you'll actually join. Certainly, there are benefits to it. Nofuku-chan just shrugged with a grunt. Are you sure she's Japanese? You heard they were the polite-gentle sort. You're sure you'll get along with her soon enough. Hopefully.

    You look at the fire and act like you're thinking about it for a few moments while you're actually making a mental command to buy a Premium Membership. A 12-month contract. You mentally sign it and there you go. The Premium Shop and the dreadfully known Gacha is now available to you. Yay.

    Isn't this the perfect opportunity for us? They are going to powerlevel their friend, who is the same level than us. We can just tag along and enjoy the ride.

    Also, one of the 12 USD mounts that can fly would be great. I tentatively vote for hyppogryph, because fire and cold weaknesses sound easier to work around than magic in general. Hippogriffs sound neutral/good, so they should fit us stylishly anywhere on that spread. Does anyone know about colors? Was thinking of a friendly reddish brown myself.

    1 roll ain't gonna get us anything good, barring extreme luck. We need multiple rolls at the least.

    I see our crew has already fallen victim to the allure of the Gacha system, and are jumping straight to ten spins.
    Ten spins with ZERO BENEFIT to spinning ten times, instead of five or twenty five or anything else. It doesn't even award a pity 11 spins for 10 dollars, so the offer of "try out more" is a designed trap.
    At that cost, you're better off buying a mount and losing it to PVP. At least then you realize there's risks even if you somehow get the amazing rewards. And based on those cash-buy items, and as weak as that 9th tier spell appears to be? Better to save until something worthwhile comes up.

    I gamble from time to time, but I've only ever played slots once per visit to any casino, as a reminder that you don't play them to win, you play them because they're a phone game that's been around since long before phone games existed. You get to enjoy the flashing lights and accept that you're tossing away money.
    Bah. Give me Texas Hold 'em against other players where the casino takes a chip from the ante every round, or a mathematically just-barely-beatable 21 table every day of the week.
    But I digress.

    Could the NPC be made into a healer/support class, a force multiplier in the early game? Do the Drake and Hippogryph fly?
