[Guide]Best Ways to Kill an MMO

[LaserShark 2,095]

If riches, money and fame just aren't for you, and you want to kill your online game, you are in luck. This short guide will show you how to slowly kill your own online game, so the pain and trouble of running your own servers can simply vanish in three easy steps!

 

1: Make it harder to progress. This is an easy process, just decrease the amount of currency your players can acquire. You can do this by reducing or removing entirely any discounts or sales the game has, if you don't have discounts, increase the individual items cost.

 

2: Add Wallet Warriors. Rid the game of the majority of your player-base simply by making the few people who spend profusely over-powered. This is a sure-fire way to make anyone who doesn't spend enough have an absolutely horrid time playing your game. This method eventually works on the wallet warriors as well, as when the cannon fodder players leave, they no longer have an advantage.

 

3: Make it cost too much. Why would someone only spend $20 on your game, when they have the option to spend enough to literally buy a car! Eventually this sad realization catches up to your customers.

 

This tried and true method has been used by many games, and has a very high success rate. I hope this guide has helped you in your struggle to close your own games servers.

Hey, at least the one time they increased the battle funds by 5, but the prices by 10 was reversed, well, mostly.

4. Make it so people moan and moan on the forum, this will eventually drive everyone away due to the negativity. It will aslo help if people make useless topics claiming that the game is ruined, basically get the players to spread their toxic point of views and ensure that anyone who shows a little bit of love to the game are swiftly taken down.

 I do not see this as a effective method of decreasing player count, but merely a result of putting into practice the previous 3 methods I mentioned.
