CO Closing Down please read

people kept thinking the lottery is ruining the game..

I for one think not..

The chance of you getting good items like soc and super from the lottery is similar to how you get soc by mets in tc....more people mets up in tc..more chance of you getting a soc....more people doing the lottery...more chance of you getting good stuff....if no one is doing the lottery...your chance for good stuff is slim..

right now we see people getting soc and double soc etc..because hundreds of people are doing the lottery....out of hundreds attempts by different players..only a few will win big....which is the same random as things in the past.

although you always win in the lottery...most of the stuff you win is only useless stuff you use to show off....doesnt have much to make your character any stronger...

the most common winnings you will see are those that are common drop from mobs anyways..like elite weapons and armour...super items..etc..

oh and the plus 1, 2, 3..etc.....these are dropped a lot by mobs....that is why you see them all the time in market...but the new format is more convenient to use...you dont have to find similar items to compose......

Like using mets in tc for soc....once people wasted enough dbs and find out that their odds of really winning good stuff is not that great.....the fads will die down...and all will be back to almost normal....

It actually would not be illegal in any way for them to stop the CO servers right......now.
But yes, I would have to say that it would make no sense for them to stop. I'm sure there is a person buying a pack of DBs about every 5 minutes from all over the world or w/e. Especially with that one that is about 300$ USD, crazy...
jp.91.com...the Japanese one doesnt have lotto....yet?
Even though they got the CP thing a long ass time ago, there is no lotto in it.
Instead you use it to buy stuff from NPC that sell elites and all those coats, and kinda anything that you can win in the ENG lotto version.
And its like...empty...everyone TGs lol;P

But back on subject, TQ did a smart thing when they made that patch. Sure, its stupid to us, but for them they are making t3h 1337 money off those who buy DBs.

jep and i hope soon the whole winnings will press the prizes for socks items down that its also possible for beginners to buy or get them ... ;)

Haha, you guys beleived him?

The truth is:

They will get alot of money, sales increase ALOT. What will happen when everyone has super +9 SuperGems 2 socket items? What will happen? They will have bout 100 dollars a month coming in. Thats no were near the amount they will need to run every server, price's for running all those servers is nearly 5,000$+. What will they do after no one else buys Db's? They are fucking themselfs over, just let them ruin there own game. There is always another game you can go play. I will tell you a few

i can tell you now the old plus ones might as well be worthless. people are wanting and getting the + stones. i can't sell any plus ones i hunted for weeks to get. my elites aren't selling nor are my supers i hunted. and no one is buying mets. if this is a fad i hope it ends soon cause right now i'm feeling the squeeze.

what you fail to realize tq will continue to raise the ceiling on this. to encourage people buying dbs. the second rebirth was a bad idea they still refused to listen to the players and guess what it continues and many want second rebirth. what they are doing is raising the roof. before long they will fix the game where you can break equipment and then plus them beyond plus nine for the price of a few "dbs" get it it will never stop ever.

I think the lottery will relax people just need to give it time. The game wouldn't shut down... thats just ridiculous and you're an idiot for thinking it will happen. Just give the lottery time guys, people will begin buying your items for cps, it doesnt all revolve around dbs. Give the economy a month or two to balance out.

Well, Ladies & Gentleman, just like ANY OTHER ONLINE GAMES, the game creator owns the right to our characters and everything else related to these characters. So, they CAN at any time Kill of anything... well, maybe they'll not do it any-o-how as it will be bad press. But the thing is they CAN DO IT!

Once we agreed to the End User License Agreement(EULA), there's nothing we can do.... so just enjoy the game. Not happy? Go play other online games or consoles etc.... :cool:

''guys if are you not getting through your heads whats going on?!

conquer is closing down soon

TQ made the new patch because without it they cant close down
because it would be illigal for them to do so..

REASON WHY

now that they made the new patch non db buys start quiting and the db buyers start buying more db's then ever now with the lotto thing... now just think.. conquer made this patch to get the last of the money out of you peaple with this lotto so when they qiut they wont lose out that much and the and patch not only gets them last of the more rising money but it just ligalized them to shut down the game without them getting a law suit.. because think.. you cant disband a guild if theres say 20 peaple in it and its to big of a number of members.. so the system wont let you to disband it .. you got to kick some members off then you can disband the guild.. you understand were im going with this

TQ is using the same trick there drawing in the DB buyers to buy super amount of db's with this +8 2 soc advertisment... there making last of the money ... and while the peaple who dont buy DB's quit.. the nunmber on the servers are getting smaller so its like a giuld .. when it reaches the right amount... you can disband it in a legal way.. in TQ's case close down CO ''



now i found this on the forums 1 thing is wrong .. is that it TQ can close anything down and not get a law suit because when you sighed the agreement at the '' new account creat'' it said that TQ owns your char and no matter if you buy db's they can delet your char at ther will

but i do think that thats what TQ is doing ther gunna finish up the end sale on CO and close it and fofus on EO because chinses servers are P2P and why would TQ give us what the chinses has to pay for .. they give us it for free .. why ? .. last minute sale
You are dumb.

REASON WHY:

-TQ is getting ALOT of money from bulkers and they have no interest of shutting down CO servers. They might shut down a failed EO.

-on my server maybe 5 or 10 ppl left, but some came back to try the new patch and actually liked it.

-bulkers still buy dbs like they did before, or even more

-non-bulkers started to buy dbs now, coz db prices are 20kk on my server

SO WHY WOULD TQ SHUT DOWN SERVERS, JUST AFTER THEY RELEASE A PATCH THAT MAKES THEM AT LEAST DOUBLE PROFIT ?!

1st off, whoever wrote this compared legalities to guilds lmao. I'm pretty sure it's not Illegal for them to stop their game since it is a free game and no one is paying to play it (DB buyers don't count since they arnt paying to play the game, just for items in the game), 2nd why would the chinese servers, which have had the same patches and everything for a year or so ahead of us be active still? They probably did have a lotto and they stopped it, this lotto is to get the CP's circulating and some good items, If you didn't notice, you can sell certain socks, armors, and what not for CPs so obviously they are figuring that instead of saving 500 mill gold, you will just use 10,000 cps or something. Use your head, TQ isn't "killing" conquer, they are just making a "killing" off it right now just as they did in the chinese servers and i'm sure they have more plans in the future.
01/14/2007 17:09 some1else#56
if CO shuts down(not that i believe that) i'll move to wow even if it's p2p. i would never play a tq game again even if it has wow graphics and it's free

What you failed to realize is what i said. Re-Read what i said. Word for word, and maybe u will understand my point. Here it is all packed up in a nut shell for you.

What will TQ do after everyone has super +9 2 socket super gem eq?? Hmm??? I dont know about your server, but there has been 11 sockets since update. All 2 socket items.. So go back to crying cuz u cant afford a db. Cya
01/14/2007 20:41 d0wnload2#58
if CO was to shut down before all the bulk buyers quit, considering most bulk buyers have a good amount of money irl, TQ would be sued and sued and sued and sued until every penny they spent on the game was returned to them.
01/14/2007 21:55 Animal101#59
he is right they will lose out if they close down conquer
01/14/2007 22:51 PearlRaven#60
if it comes to the point of everyone getting full super+9 double socks, they will simpley raise th roof on the limit you can get. add more socks maybe or even increase the + limit. Hell they might just implement the 2 classes that are in the game but never used. Point is, they have an infinite number of ways to keep the game going simply because people acually pay real money for dbs which to tq is basically free money.
