Monthly Subscription Ideas

Just some thoughts on the Monthly Subscription-

4.99$ Per Month, 3 MS Daily… That would be 90 MS after 30 Days.
Which really isn't a Bad Deal- BUT…

I just don't feel that it's all that enticing…?
Including the Removal of Ads… (Which, I do believe most people would simply opt to use some sort of Ad Blocker-)

I understand a site needs revenue.
So why not make the Monthly Subscription more… Valuable? Get more users interested.
Here are some suggestions!

---

Reward Points + Reward Store - Every monthly renewal could provide, for example, 10 Reward Points. Including a special “Reward Point Shop” to spend these in- The shop could include reward Point Exclusive Items. Companions, Banners, Wolf Patterns, Etc. You could even consider allowing the purchase of a CAT with so many Reward Points! Or other MS exclusive items.

Daily Knucklebone - Include 1 Daily Knucklebone alongside the 3 MS. After 50 Days of being subscribed… That would allow the subscriber to obtain a WW as a Reward!

Cool-Down Buffs…? - I'm not as certain about this one… But perhaps providing subscribers with a 2-5% Decrease on Cool-Downs for their Nesting/Resting/Aging Wolves?

---

Edit

There's a lot of vocal “No Support” and I want to add that I understand where everyone is coming from-
But I personally still believe the Monthly Subscription needs a Boost.
I just want to acknowledged that I am reading all of your input 🙏

I agree, that right now, the gap between Pay and Free Players is absolutely massive- But I currently don't have any ideas to address that issue… It also might be better suited for a separate Suggestions Post.

However…
Keeping the Monthly Sub “Pure Cosmetic” would be a way to avoid adding a Game-Play Boost. Subscription Banners, Profile Decorations, I still think some Subscription Apparel would be perfectly fine-
None of these items give any sort of Boost to the over-all Game Play. Purely Cosmetic.

Even if they had tiers so some of that stuff is included in a +tier. I would be down for that

I agree, there needs to be something more enticing for monthly subscription. 90 MS is…. still very meh. I never notice ads because I always have an ad block on, so I never even noticed that being an issue before.

Edit: I'm not saying like cooldowns or anything, but something else to make me want to become a subscriber. Nothing game breaking.

No support for adding anything onto the monthly subscription. The only thing it should do is remove ads, and the fact you get MS daily is as far as I'm comfortable having it go. Introducing additional bonuses for paying players (which there is no way around paying RLC for the subscription) only serves to increase the divide between paying and non-paying players, and that gap is already there to a degree that it really shouldn't be due to gameplay upgrades costing MS. Free to play users are already in a bad place.

I would actually not be willing to pay for the subscription if they added further incentives than what is already present because I don't want to support pay-to-win practices or big divides between free and pay-to-play players. As it is I already cancelled my subscription simply because I really don't like the current state of premium currency. Shorter cooldowns for subscribers especially would turn it into pay-to-win.

As someone without the subscription…no support, at least at the current state of the game. The monthly subscription seems like a slow-drip, delayed gratification way to support the site, where instead of getting 50ms by spending 5$ individually, you get 90ms over the course of a month for the same price, with the added bonus of no ads if you don't use an adblocker normally. Adding all of these features would only worsen the divide between people who can't or won't buy moonstones, which right now is a pretty noticeable contention.

The only thing I could see being added that doesn't create further gameplay advantage divide is something like a first-time-only account-locked banner or icon frame. Like how buying stickers from FR gives you that Sticker Star vista. Although that vista is tradeable, that game's economy is not currently comparable to this one.
Mainly, something like knucklebones, or a whole huge set of exclusive rewards, is way too valuable and truly would gate content behind paying real money only.
I understand the thinking behind wanting it to be more useful, but I think it being so minimalistic is a feature, not a bug!

No support. 90 ms for 5 bucks is already the best ratio there is compared to the other ms bundles. Any other buffs just makes this pay to win.

I’m… Torn. I don’t think this is a terrible idea on principle, but there’s already a lot of problems with there being a giant divide between F2P and people who aren’t, pebble/MS ratio, etc.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea but in the site’s current state it would just worsen pre-existing issues. No support for now but it’s definitely something I think we could revisit a bit down the road assuming things improve.

If things are fixed, like expansions being MS, too few pebble sinks, etc, this would be a good way to get lorwolf some more money to put back into the site.

(I will say, though, if the idea of the point shop goes through, I want absolutely NOTHING exclusive to subscriptions on there. That’s just a disaster waiting to happen.)

No support. I actually like that the monthly subscription is pretty bare bones. The fact that subscribers get 40 extra moonstones for their $5 on top of having ads disabled is already incentive enough to get it. I wouldn't want to see a point store to further reward subscribers with free stuff just for paying $5 a month, let alone any gameplay rewards.
