Perfect Battle Online goes Shareware!

Finally it´s decided. We will release Perfect Battle Online (PBO) as shareware. Shareware is a marketing method for commercial software (like our game), whereby a trial version is distributed in advance and without payment - but is accompanied by a request for payment required to obtain the full version. This means that unlike our previous games we will ask payment for Perfect Battle Online.

And why is that? Well for one thing we seen a huge interest to download or old game Perfect Battle. In less than two years it has spread all over the world with hundreds of downloads every month (check out our news section for details). Since we think PBO is a much better game than Perfect Battle ever was it´s only fair that we get something in return for our hard work.

I know that some of you guys were hoping for yet another freeware game. Well I am sorry for your sake. However PBO won´t be that expensive. We were thinking to charge around 15-20 $ for the full version. Then keep in mind that it will be a demo version too - for free!

We could use some help from You however. What would make you want to buy our game? Is it for example more online resources like special weapons only for people who have paid the game fee. Or is it a bigger and more difficult campaign with more story. Is it extra music or maybe a ranking system were not all the ranks is availiable unless you have the full version of the game?

Please comment this post and tell us your opinion! And if you haven´t already sign our forum and begin to discuss there as well.

See ya soon!
