What do you guys think. It has it pros and cons! People say it wouldnt work and the game would die.... thats what the new players say but in the time I was here I played through both free and pay versions.


Pay version did pretty good I think.. It got rid of alot noobs( if thats what you want to call them).

And I still remember getting tons of fights. I am not so sure a payed version of OB would help out right now because it seems like OB is low enough. But in the future i'd like to see OB pay 2 play...

Not because I think there is to many jerks/alts. But because I think Mikkel deserves to atleast have the server cost payed without him diping into his pocket.

I have brought that up in the past and alot of people said... many games are free blahblah.. and how much could a server like ob cost.

in reality it could cost alot. a server capable of running a game and handling high bandwidth/traffic can get very expensive.

But with that being said I think people need to appreciate Mikkel more. He devotes his time to making this game better and more fun for the players while working a job. I am not speaking for every OBER but many people abuse the game and disrespect Mikkel.

I am not preaching I just would like for once for OB to come together and strive for a better gaming experience. With boxing there is smack talk,Egos,and jerks. Thats fine... but in the end its a game and a fight is just a fight. So all the alter egos and immaturity aside lets try to work together and at the same time have fun kicking each others asses.


I'll see you guys in the ring


P.S Thanks again Mikkel for giving us a game we all enjoy.

I would suggest to make OB3D pay to play and keep OB2D free. In anyway the player base is not big enough, at least at the moment, to support pay to play (some people would be cheap and quit making the pbase even smaller and it is already almost too small).

- OB Accounts: Rocky Marciano plus too many alts

- Join Date: 2007

- Status: Retired for now. Logs on every now and then just to troll.

- OB Class: A+++++ Elite and yes you got it right a FIVE STAR Elite.

- Goals: Been there, seen that, done it all so none other than reaching 1000 fights (on an alt) with above 90% win percentage I have been hunting after ever since joining OB2D.

- Titles won: too many to remember

- Title defenses: too many to remember

- Best win streak 132 wins in a row in total.

- Style: Very technical when needed to. Other than that force ko for the win!

- Signature Punch: The Rocky Marciano combo (now also available without french fries).

- Signature Taunt: Letting opponent recover back to full healt before KOing him for good.

- Weakness: Fatny, the king of OB2D

- Career highlights: Been there and done it all but yes there is one little thing that rises above all titles and such: making Reaper quit after I tkoed him 16 times in a row all inside first two rounds. We were supposed to box 100 times

- Quotes: "I just TKoed you 16 times in a row Reaper. What's the matter? Can not make is past first two rounds? Did I make you quit? Why so silent all of sudden? Oh I just made you STFU "

- Stupid nickname given by other players: Mini Fatny.

- Words of wisdom: Styles make fights. Sometimes even HOF caliber fighters lose to inferior boxers due to this fact. Everyone has their rythm and once you get inside that rythm, you will make life hell for that person (in the ring).

- PS. All signatures are stupid.

In my opinion OB is a great game but we need to market this game more and let more people come to it, if Mikkel starts chargin a fee there will be many people that will just overlook the game.. I have been also like u HTF through the paying and non-paying era but this is different there arnt as many players today to charge them...


Just my humble opinion, thx Mikkel for this game truly has changed the way i spend my days after work..

A great way to support the server is the way SFO did it: Keep the donations, however, if you donate, you are given more upgrades for your character (more colors to choose from, styles, tattoos etc). The upgrades should be useable for a month or two. If the person still wants the upgrades, they will have to pay again.

Maybe you all should approach ob like i do when it comes to elections. If you do not donate, then u should never EVER bitch about the gameplay or how Mikkel goes about maintaining and updating HIS GAME. Rocky the donation tab only works if people actually donate..

lol well, i've been trying. It's kinda hard, being 15 and having no source of income and no credit card, to donate money. The only possible way i could donate is through my mobile- but since i can't do that, it's impossible for me to donate money.

Along with many other people Ray, which why P2P would effectively kill OB. Even when it was pay, people would just create new accounts when their trial ran up. Look at how many accounts Fatny has. Funny how HTF says/does a lot of things to hurt OB. Like constantly suggesting it becomes p2p despite the fact he never donates. Or vacating titles giving work to Mikkell and pretty much pissing everyone off after we finally got the titles back.

What have you ever done for OB apart from moan a lot ?

Asking the players to give something back to Mikkel is trying to hurt OB, that doesn't make sense to me.

[code]
/** Call this method when you want to play OB.*/
public void playOb() {
getSomeBeers();
turnOnComputer();
loadOb();
while(moreBeers()) {
challengeSomeone();
fight();
trashTalk();
drinkABeer();
postAtForum();
}
if(sleepy) {
gotoBed();
}else {
playOb();
}
}
[/code]

}
}
return 1;

What makes you think I didn't understand your post, is it the fact that I didn't agree with you or the fact that I pointed out all you do is give attitude ?

How about you leave the ego at the door and answer my question ?

Just so you understand my previous reply, I was talking about your attitude towards HTF.

This has just showed me you havnt been along enough to know what the hell you are talking about.




Its not about alts and alts where not a problem because Mikkel had the free trial worked out and it was fine. Yea I would like to donate some but havnt got around to it. As far as supportng OB ive done it sense I started I also payed for all the years I played not to discredit players who have helped me out.

Ive also bought memberships for people aswell.


The problem is you dont like the idea of pay to play so your getting negative.

as far as the vacating goes. I didnt vacate this last time I dont know what happen! In the past yes its a option to use so I used it. Maybe it takes weeks for Mikkel to set titles up but thats by his choice not by mine.

Selfish people cant chose or people who beg.


just to add some thing else aswell i am not suggesting... I am just saying i wouldnt mind it.
