You are wrong. If you know what a VPN is and can find a couple of scuffed articles (which advertise spcific vpn services, thus biased) it doesn't mean that you're smarter then people who work on steam security or game developers that implement regional prices. If it's so widespread then it's been studied both in terms of profitability and possible ways of abuse. You don't know what you're talking about and ruin the possibility for people to play the game. The devs should look into it and implement it, because with the current sub fee the whole regions will just refuse to play the game. Or try the game ftp and then leave the negative reviews on steam.

yes... and where's the question?

Please look into regional pricing and subscription through steam like the majority of other games do it. Thanks for what you do.

It doesn't work like that. Google it. Do you think you're smarter then Gaben? Regional pricing IS a thing and it makes more money if implimented. The overwhelming majority of gamedevs do it from indie to AAA.

Dont be so negative, guys. Just imagine the release date was announced as 25th. I'm actually happy that the game managed not only to gather all the old players back, but also to attract so many new ones that it DDoSed the servers. Mb there's a chance we'll have an extra server map for PvE to divide the playerbase.

If other games do it, then it works. If AAA titles do it on steam that means there is a protection against such abuse. Greedy corporations wouldn't let a single penny go to waste, that proves that regional pricing creates more profit. Eastern europeans like hardcore "oldschool" mmorpgs. And I'm sure today's server crash can be attributed to the hordes of russians seeing the new "hardcore sandbox rpg" pop up on steam. But with such sub cost they would never pay.

Dear developers. I love Wurm even tho I've always been playing it f2p. I'm looking forward to playing on Steam servers and just want to put my word out for fellow Russians and Eastern-Europeans. Due to quite harsh currency exchange rate the sub fee of 10eu is ALOT and with the steam regional pricing policy we usually get prices adapted to our economic situation. Even big sub-based games like WoW have regional pricing. For example the current sub price of wurm is more expensive then my mobile plan and internet plan combined 😆 I can afford it, but it would be financially irresponsibe for any Russian player like myself to pay that much. I hope you've studied the regional market a bit and there will be an adapted sub for regions like ours. If you compare similar scale games, the sub fee is usually around 299-399 roubles per month. Thanks alot for what you do, I hope the game does well on Steam!
