Will OB turn pay again?

I agree with this comment.

Well also remember that those without the ability to pay, sometimes were so well respected and valuable to the OB community that some of us paid for them.

So young "regulars" could still play.

It looks like the people who regularly plays will keep playing, pay or not. When the game turned pay there was no decrease in players, when it turned none pay there was no increase..

I conclude that ob should remain free then. Theres just no way to keep the pests out other than banning them.

It's not up to you to "conclude"..that's what I do

Good Point Mr. Ty. Nigel Benn was one of the biggest contributers when he played. Kid and Ken Norton also helped several people. Over the long run these guys payed more to keep other people playing then they did for their own account (myself and many other vets included). As far as OB2D goes, I dont think it will work. That's only because of OB3D is in the making. (which I will play someday.. Gamepad= none).
But with that said, back when it was pay to play, it was very competitive and all boxers respected each other and the so called unwritten rules, cause the guys that failed to be sportsman knew that they were done after the membership ended if the guy who paid for them found out (unless he was one of those %&&^ too).
For all these "eduactemakated" guys out there who beg to differ. Just look and see how many of the guys that I mentioned no longer play since it became free. coincidence? maybe
Personally I feel once OB3D gets a good base make it pay to play. People appreciate it more that way, and its more comp. (alts are not near as many) and if someone wants to pay for all there alts well I'm sure Mikkel will find something to do with that money. #3 at Mickydee's etc..,

i feel this would benifit many older players as the older players I.E over the age of 20 have a job have a income which they can afford to give a bit to mikkel for a wonderfu lservice.

but this leaves out the yungens who in most cases for a game should be encouraged to play OB with a price tag the market is reduced.

you may say it'sa only 90Pence but thats still money that some people dont have.

i would say that ob 2d stays free and 3d goes pay.
with free 'seasons' for peopel who want to try the game out.

i would also like to say what mike has been saying over and over and over again. go to boxing forums and bomb there websites with advertisement. or at least incouragem,ent and links.

has anyone heard of vivi? it's a online boxing sim which is nice but isnt a game. how they got that crowd was going to boxing forums and making a thread saying "has anyone played this before"?

come on people

I've played vivi.. it's ok..

But ik what you're saying. I still think 'Pay via SMS' is a good solution to all of this.
