Does Private Server Hurt Fiesta?

My friend Gilthoniel raised this question: is Terra stealing profits from Fiesta that should go to game development?

Half a credit, Gil. It does steal some profits. However, most people play private servers because they think Fiesta has too much drama, too much real money spent on getting SparkCash etc. So really, it's because Fiesta was too much on spending real money and then they transfer to private server.

How is Terra run? There is a panel of admins and game developers that oversee the game. They rely on donations from the players, which could be used to grant VIP status for a month. There are also the community leaders and trainees, who are actually players from Terra that chose to lead the community.

From my point of view, players on Fiesta who were not happy with the game move on to private servers because it's cheap. I don't think Fiesta will be reaping any profits from those who had half quitted anyway. So it's not a total loss. If Fiesta wants to keep all of its players, it needs to make the game less SC oriented, as in a pay-to-win game. However, the chance of this happening is 0.

I think it would be nice if certain SC items can be bought from NPCs, such as charms or suits with no stats on them, or make some SC items tradeable. It may help to even out the gap between plaers with SC and players with no SC (I was a non-SC player).

A rather short article, because I don't have alot on mind right now. By the way, it's my birthday! Wish me happy birthday!

Lastly, a joke to finish off this article.

Carter was trying to steer a boat. His buddy, Horus the war god, said, You're missing something.

A little busy here! Carter thought.

It's my birthday! Horus insisted. Wish me happy birthday!

"Happy birthday!" Carter yelled. "Now, shut up!" - The Red Pyramid
