Request for Implementation of Regional Pricing for Ashes of creation in Developing Countries.( MENA)
Hello,
I am writing this to request the implementation of regional pricing for Ashes of Creation in developing countries. As a passionate gamer, I have been following the development of Ashes of Creation and have eagerly been waiting for its release. However, I have noticed that the only option for purchasing the game is through foreign currencies, which is a significant challenge for gamers in developing countries.
I understand that game development is a costly and time-consuming process, and it's only fair that you receive proper compensation for your hard work. However, for players in developing countries, the current pricing model is simply not feasible. It's not uncommon for people to work long hours just to pay for a single month of subscription. This not only creates financial strain but also limits access to the game for a large portion of the population. By implementing regional pricing, you'll not only make the game more accessible but also ensure that players can enjoy it without financial burdens.
On the other hand, several game developers have implemented regional pricing, such as Steam and Xbox Game Pass, which offer their services for a reasonable price depending on the country. Regional pricing is a fantastic way to make games more accessible to gamers in developing countries, allowing them to enjoy the same gaming experience as others around the world.
Unfair pricing can have many negative effects on the gaming community, particularly in developing countries. When game developers don't provide regional pricing, it can be very expensive for players to pay for subscriptions or in-game purchases, which can lead to frustration and a lack of interest in the game. As a result, some players may turn to private servers, such as those in World of Warcraft, which can be accessed for free.
In addition, private servers are unstable, in the majority of cases end up being a victim of glitches and all types of abuse which hinder the experience of new players.
While private servers may seem like a solution to the high cost of playing the game, they can actually be harmful to both the players and the game itself.
If the regional prices system is implemented correctly, there will be no room for exploitation or misuse of the system to get lower prices. In fact, it would help increase the popularity of the game and make it more accessible to a wider audience.
Therefore, I urge you to consider implementing regional pricing for Ashes of Creation. It would be a massive step towards making the game more accessible and affordable to passionate gamers in developing countries.
