If Tribes had a prize for first place each month would teams come back and play?
I remember when T2 started, if you held first place for a month you won $10,000, or was it $1000?. Anyways it was something like that. I think this is part of the reason why T2 started out so strong- the thought of winning $ to play a game. This kept quite a few teams on the ladder in the early months of the release. I remember TF_ held it for the first month.
So my question to everyone is, if Tribes had a prize that was worthy would teams come back and play? It could be something as simple as $50 bucks to each member of the #1 team-monthly. Now if we set up a system were every member puts in $10-$20 ( sorta like WoW and pay-2-play games) bucks a month we could have a pay to play Tribes 1 ladder.
Say the ladder has 50 teams on it. Each team has a average of 14 players. At $10 bucks a month that is $140 from 1 team. Now $140 x 50 = $7000! So at just $10 bucks a month from each player, and just 50 teams on the ladder we can generate ruffly $7000 a month! Now we can use this $ to host servers, pay out the #1 team, mabye even the top 3 teams some sort of prize. TRD could use his connections and mabye get us hardware for cheaper through TWL. TribalWar could do similar things...
My point is this: Almost all new games cost $ to play per month. In a few years almost every game that is multiplayer will cost $ to play. At least $10 bucks a month. What if we could do the same system with Tribes? What is $10 bucks a month? Fuck all really. Fuck all to play the best game ever- with rewards.
Now the final question is this: Is the game still fun? Is the game still challenging? I believe so. If the right teams, players and people took part I think the game could be once again thrilling. For as little as $10 dollars a month we could have a fun ladder that rewards the winning teams with $ and prizes.
After see'ing the Legacy movie it has really made me want to play COMP tribes again. Needing to draw people back is key- what better than $.
PS- Even if we had 30 teams on the ladder with a average of 14 players @ $10 bucks per member the total $ montly would = $4200.... Thats more than enough to pay out the top 3 teams. If the #1 team split that between 14 players each member would earn $300.00 a month.
What is 10 bucks? Or $120 YEARLY? Fuck all. You could make back that in 1 month of being #1...
Thoughts? Was just a idea...
