Will DAYZ become a priced game? or will it remain free for ARMA

[xp51mustangx 0]

I understand it will eventually become a standalone, but i was wondering if we are going to have to pay for it across the board, for the standalone AND the ARMA mod. or will it just be the standalone?

[TheFired3mon 33]

DayZ is a free ArmA mod... You payed for ArmA, not DayZ.

[SLN445 3]

Would be annoying having payed for ArmaII for this Mod, as a loootttt of people have only to have to pay more once the Mod becomes Standalone.

Though i geuss the creator has to get money for his work :P just another in a long list of Mods that become a big thing.

Exactly. Either way, players now have the ArmA games to play, if it becomes a standalone, well, we're just going to officially have to pay for the game, =p

We'll very likely have to pay for the standalone game. I'm starting to think this game will end up being a subscription based game. Just my guess.

[Regiee 5]

Id easily pay upto $100 for a solid standalone dayz

[Gaky 3]

well i know a successful mod for battlefield 2 called project reality

this mod is on for 5 years and i know MANY people including my self buying bf2 just for this mod, this mod even has more players then bf2 it self

still not a single dine for the mod it self, so i guess the same for dayz.

I'd happily pay full game price just for the mod - I've had more hours out of DayZ than any other video game in my entire life.

[tactix789 5]

Id gladly pay for an Arma 3 version of DayZ done to the AAA standard.

[PK Richie 507]

I'd gladly pay £50 ($80) for a standalone DayZ if it was (mostly) bug free and running on the ArmA 3 engine.

[dnoparker@gmail.com 3]

A discount for Arma II owners would be cool.

[PK Richie 507]

A discount for members registered here during the alpha time that helped troubleshoot :)

would be best if it was free. there have already been many who given there hard earn money to the dev. in other words it should be free for arma 2 however they should charge say 15 dollars for the arma 3 one should they be working on it, they should include a single player version as will. and no you can't use the stuff you get from the single player in multi lol .

... they should include a single player version as will. and no you can't use the stuff you get from the single player in multi lol .

Unless there was objectives to the single player option you mention, i fail to see how dayz would benefit from it? Open world with just you and dumb zombies seems kind of pointless to me

Will be buying both ArmA 3 and stand alone DayZ if not a DLC addon.

[KField86 237]

It's going to have a cost. Maybe $19.99 or even $29.99 once it becomes a polished & boxed stand-alone. Rocket doesn't work for free, even if he likes to say he is right now. Everyone has to eat. I would imagine that people who bought the game in alpha will be treated like people who pre-order and receive a decent discount on the final product though. That's fair. I mean, in a way, we are working for Rocket since we're helping him develop the game by testing it, finding bugs, and offering suggestions which may end up in the final product.

Well i hope its going to be a priced standalone game using ARMA 3 engine.

[Batuhan87 24]

I'd gladly pay £50 ($80) for a standalone DayZ if it was (mostly) bug free and running on the ArmA 3 engine.

Also this.I would pay for the Dayz with arma 3 engine.2? Dont think so.Even if its bug free.

i'd honestly prefer, the people who have purchased Arma II before it was announced a stand alone game, would get it for free, and set up a donation tab.. I'd love to donate, just i'm not sure how much at this time, i'm kind of in a money rut atm..

[Smoogles 1]

Yet another will I have to pay for DayZ when it's a stand alone game.

By the time DayZ becomes a stand alone game it will be a completely different game that would have lots more content, so you wouldn't be paying for the same game twice. You'd be paying for a completely different game from what you bought Arma II for.

I bought Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy XIII-2.... Now that's a waste of money!

[AG-D.Wright 56]

I'll gladly pay for it as long as it's reasonable. (Considering it will have a shit ton more content than it does now when it's finished)

He said he is going along the line of the minecraft model......

So I predict £5-10 for beta and £20+ for end product !!! Just a guess! ;)

If it goes along with the minecraft model that means we'll be able to buy the full game when its still in Alpha mode for a reduced price, without additional charges when it is complete. If this is the case, then I'm okay with this.

Okay, i see, Well, are you going to keep the arma II one then? I'd still like to play it when i don't have the money for the stand alone? :)

Should be $5 USD when it's alpha.. Then go 15 in beta, then 20-30 finished.. o.o, this mod creator, is now an amazing game developer, good job m8!
