Starting/Stopping premium

Post by Mlloftus »

Being able to Start and stop premium to save it. Maybe it could cost extra, like 500 pt premium and 600k Start/stop premium. Maybe something like that.

The only problem with that is a player could buy 1 month of premium and start it when they need to look a confos or something and then stop it when they don't need to look at confos anymore. Same with putting multiple horses up for sale at one time. If players were able to do that there would be no need to have 1 month of premium it would probably need to go down to 1 day, 12 hours, 6 hours, etc.

There could be an option to stop it but not being able to turn it back on for a while. It would have to be a long time though so players wont abuse this feature. Maybe a week?

I think this would be nice ^-^
Id hate to have to leave for a bit and have to renew premium because it expired while I was gone :?

Premium is what keeps the game running, pays for the servers and stuff. Implementing this feature would be shooting yourself in the foot, because income goes down and there's less incentive for developers to continue working on the game (it's pretty low already, don't make it worse please).

Well yeah, i'm thinking you would have to turn it off/on for hours at a time or something like you said

I think I'm with Farant on this.
Though it would be a nice feature to be able to pause premium, I'd have to say that if such a feature existed, it would need to be linked to time-last-visited. In such a way that you could pause premium, then if you haven't logged on in 7 days time, it would go into hibernation after that and until the moment the account is again accessed. In such a way, the account would still be wasting 7 days, but the premium might be saved if a long-term hiatus were to happen.

However... though it would be a nice feature, it's not really difficult to grind the PT and upgrade for 1 month, then grind for even the six-month extension in about that same time, assuming time spent online is strictly grinding for upgrade (training, leveling and local shows). I don't think the game is in need of it as an option.

I'm against the feature at this time and with the advantages currently offered by premium.

What if premium paused while you where offline? So it was 1 month while you where in game?

Maybe, but then I think it would be like 1 week of premium
