Paid vs Free

Hi guys and girls,


I was wondering how the t100 is looking paid vs. free accounts.

The PA Crew hasn't got a list yet and to be honest I doubt it will ever come.

So therefore I post the question here. If you were in t100 last round (31) please post your rank and paid/free. I hope to get a nice list and see if it's 'worth' to go paid or not. (I know, ofcourse, paid/free isn't a guarantee for succes)

Let me start of on the bottom of the t100:


#100 - Recon - Free

Re: Paid vs Free

Honestly, this isn't gonna lead to any kind of conclusion. Most experienced players make sure to get their accounts paid for in some way, simply to support pa. Since the experienced players have a much higher chance to finish in the top100, simply because they're better at the game, this statistic is inconclusive.

But I still would like to know. If, for example 75% in t100 is free, that still says something about the bonusses you'll get for paying and/or skills.
And of course there are many more examples of what these % might say


Maybe a general % of how many free/paid accounts in last round (total) would also be nice. However, this information can only be shared by the PA crew.

well if your a freebie and ranked top10 after 700 ticks, i am sure you upgrade your account
so i would be really surprised if there was anyone in the top 100 or top 150 beeing a freebie

Couple of rounds ago there was a roundwinner with a free account also. He must have received much help, but still

Re: Paid vs Free

Just to clarify a bit on the freebie that won r20.
Delos was in my gal back then. He played as XP planet all round, he never reset for that purpose. We used the galaxy fund to store his resources to keep his value low. I´m rather sure he recieved escorts towards rounds end as well.

Delos played a good round with the freebie xp account, but he only got a chance to win in the end because the top2 planets - both value based - sorta killed off each other, taking them out of the race and clearing the field for an xp race, I think Game was in for top spot, too, but with a payed xp account.

Anyway, free accounts were much more limited in those days. The bonus you get now can be very useful, but the difference is rather small compared to earlier times.
That said, I prefer it this way, free accounts should be enjoyable to motivate people to stay, get a hang to the game and be willing to pay to make it last.
Browser games where I need to pay to be able to play somewhat properly annoy me
