PS2 Store: Whitelist - How would you view it?


Definition of WHITE LIST
: a list of approved or favored items or entities

In this context: Puts you at the head of the queue.

How would you view a monthly or permanent whitelist spot on your PS2 server?

or
2: A pragmatic approach to a popular F2P game?

Would you pay for whitelisting?

How much would you pay for a two month whitelisting?

Reserved slots on a server in a game like this is the worst idea ever. Sorry. Works in match based games, not here.

Not reserved slots, but maybe queue priority.

You should add a no whitelisting tab to your poll.

Right. But I'm pretty sure that's what the OP meant.
If you're subbed you get moved to the front of the que (behind any other subscribers who are qued). Non-payers will just have to suck it up, it's the cost of having others pay for the game for them.

This poll asks how you would view a purchasable whitelisting, not if it should be added or not. Also, the first option is clearly negative.

If the queues were really that bad, then I would pay for a priority option. But I don't play during primetime usually.

Accuser has the right of it.

Personally I see no problem with a whitelist. If I want to pay to have the privilege of hopping queues on my server, it should be available.

It's not P2Win, its P2PNow, instead of F2PIn<46Mins.

I'd be okay with queue priority. I wouldn't be okay with a dude who's been in the fight for a while doing stuff getting kicked out because someone with a reserved spot in-game logs in.

It's okay for dedicated servers in Battlefield and whatnot, but it's not okay for an MMO in a persistent world.

Reserved slots, No. Way definite No.

Priority in que, sure.

Though only because of the possibility of spam accounts tying up the que. Otherwise I would really rather not piss on a bunch of people that just want to play the game but don't have the cash to spend regularly.

Priority in the queue is what I was aiming for.

Tough choice, I like the word pragmatic but inadequate is also cool.

abstaining for now.
