The suggestion
- Create a one-time use consumable item that grants a lifetime access to your Team Storage (Team Storage Pass)
- Create a one-time use consumable item that grants a lifetime access to 1:1 Trading (Trading Pass). By making this a separate item you also encourage the creation of “Pure merchant” characters, which is a good thing IMO, that’s one of the things that made trading in Ragnarok so dynamic.
- Each Pass only works for a single character, so you can make special offers for 2+ packs (people love special offers).
- Make it marketable, since it’s one of the most important features of a MMO everyone whales are sure to buy lots of those.
The reason
Right now you can’t Trade nor use the Team Storage unless you’re using a Token, this is bad for both free and paying players for many reasons already posted on this section. I understand the game needs to make money and I won’t tell the devs to be less greedy, so I’d like to suggest something that’s profitable for them and should be “good enough” for us players.
I know that wouldn’t be the most satisfying solution for us players, specially since that’s an easy way for whales to make in-game money, but I believe it could be an attractive solution for the devs and in the end it would be a great benefit for the free/low investment players.
