Well, we were planning on having a fee, but I believe we shouldn't. About the "fee", I will tell you about it. We're going to make a bunch of guides, we call them "Super Guides", in which they just won't be "Achievement Whore, yay I did it!"; we're going to make them much more broad.

So, for example, for Fallout 3, we'll have the "super guide" include:

- Step-By-Step Quest Guides (how to beat every single quest)
- All the unique gun locations
- The view of the full map, including captions to state the location names
- A weapon guide, stating the stats of fully repaired, the ammo, and so on
- A monster guide; coming places where they're at, etc.
- Achievement Guide, of course
- Possible previews of the DLC before you actually buy it, and a review from one of our staff members


Now, the reason we were going to charge was.. we're not professionals, we don't get paid to play games, we have lives and this is simply time consuming. Also, what we were going to use the money, if these guides were bought were to actually upgrade the forums, and also get a website.

With a website we'd be able to do many things, which could help out with the guides simply being on the website, you'd have to make an account before you start a subscription, and if we had a website you'd be able to login and look at the guide(s).

Along with using it for the website, and such we'd also use the money towards "Capture Cards", or whatever they call them. By having these, our staff members could post video guides. I'm sure you'll get tired of reading the text, how great would it be to have full video guides on all the quests, simply watch one of us complete and you can simply rewalk the steps we had to take.

I've come to the conclusion, and I don't think we should. I mean, I doubt anyone would really buy it, and simply I can't stand "WAREZ". I'm sure some idiot would buy it, and go post it all over the internet and we'd be losing money - those same idiots are the reason why PC gaming is going down the drain. I will speak with the rest of the staff on their response, but I'm sure it will be a big "no".

On the other hand it's good for you, we'll still make the guides.. they just won't be in videos, and we'll still be on these forums. Give your thoughts on this new idea, not whether you like to have a fee or not, the guides we're making.

Thanks,

DDPR
