So, lots of games like this have an additional thing where you can pay a monthly subscription fee and get extra stuff.

Lioden already has a way of getting the premium stuff- that's paying to buy Gold Beetles. But what if we ALSO could set up an automatically reoccurring payment, like a subscription to the game> You'd get GB on the regular every month, and Xy and company would be able to have more cool goodies for us, because better pay for them means that they can focus on putting out more of the high-quality lion stuff we all love.

And maybe there would be a bonus for us, besides the gold star, like maybe 25% more GB if we have a subscription than if we had just made a regular purchase. Or maybe a special item. I don't know. OR A RAINBOW STAR OMG JUST THOUGHT OF THAT.



This suggestion has 8 supports and 20 NO supports.

I like this however I could see a special item, not more GB . GB is already cheap as is .

No support from me - players shouldn't see real benefit to gameplay mechanics just because they have money to spare. GB already has enough benefit as is, imo ovo

Just searched for this topic because I wanted to suggest the same thing. :)

I would love for a credit-card subscription to just consolidate all the subscriptions currently offered for GB into 1 reoccurring monthly payment: $5-10/month for the auto-nesting, feed-all/play-all features, extra cub stages, things like that.

Maybe include a special decor on certain anniversaries (3 months/6 months/1 year, etc) or unlimited use of falcon's eye (would love that SO MUCH).

The gb discount is a little bit too much, I think.

I agree with NegCol, it would make sense to put the current 30 day services into a subscription bundle with something small as a bonus, like the Falcon Eye thing.

I would not support it as a way to get a GB discount though or some game changing things, since it would make a huge rift between paying and non-paying players.

I'm sort of on the fence about this suggestion, merely because it depends on your interpretation of this implementation.

As previously stated by Maulise, I don't think it would be very fair to present better/more beneficial gameplay to those who can afford a monthly subscription. I also don't see any correlation to a monthly charge, seeing as how the game is based on real-time and revolves around energy as opposed to a more free-based style of gameplay. There's no reason for them to do subscriptions unless they're going to take away energy restrictions or something for those who do pay it--which would conceptually go against Lioden's basis.

Lioden isn't an MMORPG or anything that would thrive on subscriptions, nor is there any extra content really worth spending a monthly fee for that you don't already have access to.

Leaning more towards the "No support".

@ Ashe. My thought is it would be more convenient for some of us. The auto-nesting and breed-all/feed-all feature cost 20gb together (which is $10). But in order to use the features, you first have to purchase the GB and then subscribe in the feature each month. As far as I'm aware, they don't offer an automatic monthly renewal nor do they notify you that they are running out - you have to track it yourself. I've seen posts of people who have lost cubs because their auto-nesting had expired and they weren't aware of it.

TL;DR I would be willing to pay a monthly subscription fee of $10 that auto-renews, would not first purchase 10gb and manually enroll in the features each month.

one of the many reason i love Lioden is that everyone on-site is equal, and this would just ruin it. many games i've been on have been ruined for me by this kind of thing- I don't wan't Lioden being the same.

Pay-to-play is honestly just a cruel joke for everyone who can't afford to or won't pay. No support.
