PokeMMO: 2012 in Review - Written by Xatu
PokeMMO has been out for a very long time now and it
 can thank you all for providing its support.  No bullshit 
just games is the perfect description for a game that prides 
itself on not adopting the Pay 2 Win platform.  Back in 2012 it
 was a much different game.  The base of the game was a 
multiplayer emulated experience by no economy or tiers 
were present.  This had some interested and mazing results.  
Shinies, lucky eggs, and pokemon became the currency and
 this was all decided collectively by the players.  Many old players 
refer to this time-period as "CatchMMO" as well because breeding
 was not present.  While many disliked this leading to the 
breeding system being implemented, many players actually
 enjoyed the exclusivity of certain gift pokemon, and the thrill
 of catching a pokemon with very good ivs.  Although tthis made
 the battle system much less deep and as such the comp scene
 was not taken seriosuly for a while.  3v3s were the norm but it 
still had a very fun atmosphere and with no automated system in 
place people were required to interact much more.  I think 
PokeMMO can learn from its past and provide similar peramiters 
to increase the fun a bit and player to player direct interaction. 
 One way it can do so is simply allowing teleportation to the battle
 arena when they are spectating a battle.   Just this small feature alone
 would bring back alot of the hype lost due to automation.  
PokeMMO is very long running and i joined in september 2012. 
 It has a bright future ahead for it and i look forward to all the new
 features it will provide!

Quick Summary
I didnt see that coming, seems to be a good theme to this
 match.  Predictions just about every turn you simply cannot 
miss this winning match.  Coming in at only 23 minutes long
 thats pretty short for such a high level match.

Pokemon of the week:
This PotW is Lucario
Everyones favorite husbando... Lucario!  Representing the 
furry community this qt 3.14 has dominated the competitive 
scene since it was first introduced in gen 4.  Alot of it has to do 
with its amazing stats and typing.  Fighting/Steel are both 
amazing types in every way and it can be ran as a mixed attacker. 
 The usage rate is insane and for good reason.  You will see 
this mon ALOT when playing.  Be on the lookout and consider 
carrying fire or ground moves to deal with this beast.

This weeeks player of the week is Xatu
Xatu: Its great to be here
X2: Thanks for coming for the interview
X2: So how long have you been playing?

X: A long time haha, i joined in 2012 and havent left since 
except for some short breaks here and there
X2:  Thats awesome, whats kept you here so long?  
Whats your favorite thing about the game?
X: Well ive always loved competitive Pokemon and first
 got into it back when gen 4 was new.  I played shodddy 
battle and showdown extensively and so i think thats why i 
stay here.  I love battling and i love that my comps/shinies
 actually mean something here.
X2:  Yeah thats the thing with the vanilla games, many players 
like to hunt shinies and breed legit pokes but they quickly find 
that almost everyone hacks in pokemon.
X: Yeah its really unfortunate for those who do grind
X2:  So onto the next question, if you could change or add 1
 thing to the game what would it be?
X:  Well im known for my suggestions but this one is quite 
simple.  I think they should add more "pay-to-save-time" 
type features.  Stuff like one-time pokerus pills, exp all, 
drugs that fill all evs, stuff like that.  With more donations the 
devs will be able to work harder and the players dont feel 
like they are missing anything other than time when buying 
the items so i think its fair for everyone.
X2:  Thats great well were getting towards the end of this interview,
 any closing words you'd like to share with our subscribers? 
X:  Just keep playing dont quit after the storyline lol, theres always  
gonna be new stuff to breed and new comps to play, donate more 
as well, server space isnt free so consider donating if you  can here and
 there.
X2:  Awesome, really solid stuff, thank you for the interview today!
X: No problem!
X2: Cya online!

Whenever you visit a newstand or paper dispenser thing or w/e, the front page is usually displayed pretty clearly to read to get an idea of what to expect, will you be doing this or give a sample of what people can expect when they get a subscription?

no the old issues will not be posted as to add exclusivity to the service as it exists within PokeMMO itself.  During the 40 member fundrasier I will consider making a new, fake issue to provide as an example but seeing as alot of work goes into making a single weekly issue it might take a lil bit and was considered prior.

Since i cant click out of a quote on the forums anymore ill just type it here. If you really want to get people on board with this suggestion you shouldnt immediately expect people to pay for something that is relatively unknown. I'd recommend starting it up for free, or better yet, just keeping it free

What if you will not reach 40 subscribers? 

We would like you to change "no refunds" rule.  For now,  I cant see reason why anyone would send money.

 

There is no sample of what players will get and no refunds rule is literally making paying for promises, without any proof or example of your work.

 

While we might let this thread to stay, we wont accept limiting our players or putting them in possible problem with players being unable to cancel service they are not happy to have.

 

Thats being said, please make changes into your rules, allowing Both cancellations and refunds.

No refunds has been changed only during the fundraiser period.

 

Im writing a mock issue currently.

 

after the fundraiser there will never be refunds offered.

So after this, you'll just steal money from anyone that would bother subscribing to your "newspaper"?

Wouldn't that be their fault then, besides if they wanted to cancel they could just stop paying

lol you seem to be forgetting that im also creating jobs and an advertising network from within the game, i need to have resources to pay any writers/mailmen i decide to offer as well as whatever giveaways and comps i want to do through the newspaper.  10k a week is really cheap and to unsubscribe they simply just dont pay for the next month kek

 

if i allowed people to quit then i would potentially have no money to those i wish to hie and almost all the money i will be actually making will be used for giveaways etc
