Freemiums... Only 4 spaces?

Postby JoshyBoy on Sun May 31, 2009 4:50 am

Is 4 spaces enough?

I am just about to go freemium and I''m going to struggle with my games because I have tourney games to play as well as ordinary games.

I am putting forward the idea that we should double it and have 8 spaces instead of 4.

Just an idea.

Discuss.

Cheers, JB ;)

I voted "other" hun because I think you're in for a surprise while I bust your bubble. It's not "5"... it's 4.

Now, discuss that... ;)

There you go... glad I could help :-)

If you want to go premium and don't want to re-take your membership, simply manage a little more. I was in a game that took me forever to play and thank God the 2 deadbeated because some people will wait 23 hours to move. Your 2 player or even 3 player games will go fast, you might get away with an average speed 4 player game, but you'll find yourself storing up scheduled matches having to prioritize.

I am in a tourney where I have to be careful not to let my account fill with long games so that when needed, I can have a spot available.

Why don't we just give free people 16 games? Why not 32? How about 64? Maybe if we gave them 128, there would definitely be enough game slots.

I can't see ANY problem with doing that. Can you?

The pressure you feel as far as getting into your tournament games is precisely intended, so that you will buy premium. Which is as it should be.

Since we're just "discussing" whether 4 games is enough for a freemium player I'm moving this to General Discussion.
If anyone wants to "suggest" a higher number of games for freemium players please post in the existing Free Memberships Gameplay thread rather than starting a new one.

Thanks

It really doesn't take very many to get $25. One of the kids at my school collected enough cans and bottles to buy her PROM DRESS.

If students in Colorado are able to collect 3.8 million pennies for charity, think about what one devoted conquerclubber could collect.

lol!

I'm sure JoshyBoy could find a way to make some fast money. 4 games for me has never really been a struggle. I'm in a freemium tourney now so I keep 1 game for that, I keep a game or 2 to doubles with my sister at all times and 1 game to play against my sister at all times.

For most of Conquer Club's history (save the early days before Premium Membership when there were different limits), 4 has been the standard---and probably will continue to be, for Freemium Membership.

It makes sense, if you understand the reasoning behind why Lack chose 4 Games. It may seem arbitrary---but consider that the first Promotion comes after 5 Games---this means that all the New Recruits that wander onto CC for a day, start 4 games, forget about Conquer Club or move on because they dislike the website for whatever reason---never reach their First Promotion. Those New Recruits that play and continue to play then move onto their First Promotion.

So in an essence, the 4 game limit is like a floodgate.

Youre new at the helm, so I wont point out that if the number of games was increased to 5 that the first promotion could happen at 6. But I agree with the 4 limit. An unlimited number of games is more than fair for free, even if it is only 4 at a time.

Of course everything could be increased---but it's rather unnecessary.

lack already gives away more than any other gaming site i have ever been on. he is far more generous than he needs to be, and when i was a freemium i was amazed at all the things i could access on the site without a premium membership. to top it off, the OP is a premium going down to freemium. he is simply looking to make things easier for himself, instead of collecting all those cans in the busted up shopping cart...-0
