will pokemon online be free?

Yes. We started out with the aim of having it free.

yes
if they were to charge, nintendo would sue their butts right off

Have to find us first. Jokes.

Exactly, but renting apartments will cost cash to pay for the server
Click to expand...

Not quite the idea we were tossing around. Apartments will be free there just instanced objects. We were thinking about over world house being available for rent.

scienceboy said:
thats different than paying to play - thats paying for premium. you can still pay the game without the apartment

btw, wats the advantage of having one?
Click to expand...

Apartments was not the correct wording, so I'll just discuss the intended focus.

Apartments are free (except for in game money), and are able to be accessed at its appropriate building by entering the elevator. from there you can search for rooms, visit favorite rooms or go to your own rooms if any. rooms can be locked, password protected or open to all.

Over world houses are actually visible on the map, and have the same locked, password, or open settings.

Both types of rooms are fully customizable on the inside.

as far is know blacksprite wants to keep the game free
so the appartments will be free too i guess

adn an advantage of an appartment would be you could hold party's and everything there and sleep there of course and decorate it and things like that i think

Pretty much has to do with the social side of Pokemon TOA. But its a role playing game, so really its create your own character back story and life.

Why does he need appartment lol.... a PC,high speed net connection and a UPS is enuf to run the server :P
Click to expand...

I already have an apartment but thanks anyway. Oh yea and this is all free... a PC,high speed net connection and a UPS *about now i should stick something in *'s to show that an action has been preformed or to just say *"Sarcasm"** ... *No really sarcasm is the lowest form of wit so i'll just stick with...*

The upkeep of the server and net connect that would be required by the server wouldn't be on the cheap side.

Hao said:
we are talking about in game appartments XD

but you did make me laugh with your post XD
Click to expand...

Yea, lucky for me I have a life that doesn't depend on the non existent income of PTOA.
actually should have another game created by the end of the year, I'm not sure whats the deal releasing it to the public. And another one in two and a half years.

felinoel said:
From what I can assume, it is like Red's room, you can decorate it with stuffed pokemon and trophies and other stuff, and I guess you can brag to your friends with it

Keeping the game free would get expensive with server costs, it would just be a little fee for apartments
Click to expand...

Indeed.
We are also looking at other forms of income to offset this.
Advertising and what not.

Hao said:
yes you're probably right on that point considering all the costs
still it would be cool if the could keep it free
Click to expand...

I do plan to keep it entirely free.

Ah I see, when I said apartment I did mean over world houses because I did not know there would be both and since you would be paying a monthly rent (if I remember correctly) I called it that

Indeed i was thinking of both, but really it all depends on the cost of upkeep and the amount generated by other incomes. If its not a huge running cost i'll just pay for it myself.
 
that would be very generous of you.if you are required to do that, we all thank you for your sacrifice.
however, hopefully it won't come to that, and people who are playing will help to support it.
like i will once i get a job
 
Ummm is it online if it is will somone PM me the link I wanna play it.
 
really? we know that?
if so, thats awesome

Yes its been said a few times already, in fact it apparently should have been done by now but the programmer ran into difficulties when he upgraded to Vista with the language he was coding with so he has to recode it entirely
 
realy need to be beta tester (tester of NINTENDO)
 
If you need a beta tester let me know kk.
