RE: Announcing Crownrend | A Kingdom-Building Online Strategy Game!

good to see more games on hive. Good work!
I cant say its too encouraging to see that players have to pay to get started. I feel like blockchain games shoot themselves in the foot by creating a barrier to entry so early on, when what you surely want is for everyone (the whole community) to be playing it? Thats the best marketing you can get, and amplifies the levels of fun experienced when you have a large community of excited players (not to mention more chances to make revenue off of transaction fees etc. surely?). That said Im sure you've thought about all this much more than I have and you'll get lots of people to pay the entry fee and kickstart the game. I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for your comment, I honestly agree with you. Payment is a double edged sword, it has other meanings on a certain level when it comes to pricing as well as the existence of it in the first place. (i.e. naturally prevents registering 5000 accounts by a single person, and potentially making abuse/exploit much "harder")

ah yeh, I forgot about that issue. Yes there definitely has to be some payment, and I suppose its about finding the optimum level between encouraging more players and discouraging reward farmers and bot accounts etc.
Like I said, Im sure you've thought about it plenty and come to a sensible decision! hehe
