This is plain and simple, maybe people could watch a sponsor comercial and get 20 crowns or something.
I know that their would probably only be like 4/5 a day they could watch, but 100 a day is better than nothing. You all still make the money, and in about a month they could unlock all of Wizard City forever. if they do all the quests in this place alone, i think they could even be like level 15 or even 16 or something. This way they can get rank 4 spells and such which would be awesome.
Or maybe a better idea... Wait let me think some math out real quick.
1 month=5,000 crowns. 30 days=5,000 crowns. 100 a day, 50 days for 5,000 crowns. 5 comercials a day, 50 days for 5,000 crowns. 250 comercials for 5,000 crowns. 250 comercials=30day membership Then again, they get this for free so lets say it's more. And maybe you make twice as much or something.
Lets say ever 20 times they watch a comercial, (Limit one of each per day.) they would get to have 1 days worth of membership.
Thats about 5-8 days of the month they could have a membership. Which, 1/5 of the days a member is better than nothing!
I don't have any idea on how this would work, or how much you would get for them watching the comercial, (this would of course be, only 1 per each per household/ISP, and no switching crowns with these).
But even 1 day of membership every 2 weeks for watching a few minutes of comercials, would be awesome. I know that LOTS of people that can't afford to play the game would LOVE this option.
Please take this into consideration, I myself know people that like the game, but can barely afford food on their plate, (and yes, they have a computer, you can buy used ones for as little as 50-100 bucks, and most of them live in apartments that come with internet service), and would LOVE to be able to play this game for "free".
