Sure if Hytale is Free then that would make the game super large and better then Minecraft itself but I think
The Idea of Hytale being free would because then all the OG and Good Names would be taken and since its free, it would
be hard trying to find a name that you like that isn't taken or would have to use numbers to use it.


I think Hytale should cost anywhere from $10 to $20 or more to give us an even higher chance to get the name we want and
would give us a higher value in our Name and Account.


Plus the Idea of being would mean the increase of Moding and Hacking or spam/bot Accounts in servers.
I'm sure Hytale would have a really good Anti-cheat for this but this is just my opinion.


Thank you for reading and I would like to know what your Opinion is on Hytale if it should be Free or Paid, Please Vote!

Hey! I agree that Hytale should cost money, but this is not that good of a reason. The Hytale team already confirmed name reservation so if you're worried about your name getting stolen you can reserve it beforehand. What I would be really worried about is the amount of micro transactions they would have to put in the game to meet ends. It would completely ruin the game experience imo. Also, hackes would have a much easier time, since the game is readily availlable. I'd be willing to pay whatever, as long as the game does not have ingame purchases.

Name reservation will probably not be free anyway which benefits users looking for 'rare' or 'og' usernames.

I doubt it'll be incredibly expensive, I'd say 5$ tops

100%, it would be ridiculous to expect it to be free when they have been working for 3 years.

Customer perspective, amazing deal. Business perspective, potentially a disaster. Considering that Hytale's only income will probably be the customers buying the game, the people working on Hytale will need to have it at a reasonable price so they can earn money. Also, they were trying to hire new developers to work on the game, so more developers = more money needed. $20-$25 sounds reasonable and can strive long term to compete against Minecraft. Now obviously I cannot predict the future and say that lower prices such as $5 will be a disaster, but it seems way too low.
I believe the user was referring to name reservation as $5 (not the game itself).

So to reserve your name 5$ and to buy the game 20$?

Seems like it would take everyone by surprise if Hytale released as a free game lol! There is so much less hassle that would come from the game costing around $30 because if the game was free, they'd have to make money another way. This could cause a possible upfront payment on the server owner side, or possibly cosmetics (which would be pretty cool either way). I just hope for no stupid subscriptions, or gimmicks.

Riot is known for microtranactions, but I doubt they will do microtranactions, maybe they will for the minigame server aspec but that's only normal as it requires hardware to run on. Bringing it out for free brings a whole set of problems and the game has been in development so long and those people need to be paid and they want to keep updating the game so charging money is the way to go. I do think they will do a cheaper price then Minecraft.
