Subscription Package.

I personally think that the subscription package needs an huge overhaul.

I have said this before but with the current Dev blog, I think this would be a good time to bring it up again.

If iGP produced a proper subscription package they will -
1. Get current subscribers putting more money in to the game.
2. Will be able to charge a little more for the services offered.
3. Get new subscribers to the game.

and for me the MOST important..
4. Give EVERYONE 2D. (Which would bring more members in and they would stay around a lot longer than current.)

This would be my idea of an iGP subscription package.

** iGP Tokens are the key **

Token buying / spending.

 (This is just an example. Prices are not correct in any way, they are just to show the idea.)

You would buy iGP bundles for various prices. (I'll use Euro's as a base.)
10.000 iGP Tokens = 10 Euros.
16.500 iGP Tokens = 15 Euros.
24.000 iGP Tokens = 20 Euros.
30.000 iGP Tokens =- 25 Euros.
and so on.. Up to 50 Euros =  100.000 Tokens.

Buying the tokens does not get you auto subscription.. You need to buy your subscritpion package by Months.

1 Months iGP subscrption = 9000 Tokens.
3 Months iGP subscrption = 22000 Tokens. (Saving 5000.)
6 Months iGP subscrption = 42000 Tokens (Saving 12000.)
12 Months iGP subscrption = 82000 Tokens (Saving 26000.)

The Subscription package would include certain things already within iGP currently under the rewards section.
"Double practice runs / Livery Packs / 10 spaces for young drivers"
All of these will be a part of your subscription. Once your package runs out, they run out.. You would no longer be able to buy these..

You would also have to introduce more options to iGP.
7 day driver training plan.
7 day car design plan.
Upload your own Car Logo Unique to your own team. (See below for more details.)
20% reduction cost for new engins. (per race.)
5% reduction cost for new parts. (per race.)
Higher detailed Race reports / Analysis
and so on..

A Subscription should not give you actual race boosts.. but you should have a better experience within the game, level faster and be able to use your own managerial skills gained with more knowlege to your advantage.

Tokens bought can also be spent through an iGP store..

Instead of "Revitalise a driver" you can have "Exta Training Hours"
The results changes from "Instantly restore a drivers health to 100%" to "Add + 10 health + 1 Stamina + 1 Reflexes."

This 1 small change encourages iGP members to spend tokens more often than the "Once per driver" situation that it is now.

iGP will need to do is look at the many many ways tokens could be spent throughout the whole game.

Once a big enough package has been made. iGP could open the whole 2D to everyone that plays. (Even that could have subscriber parts to it. (You can only use the 2D for the league you are in. Please subscribe to view other races.)

** Car Logo idea - All "Team" Images are removed and a new system would be introduced.. (Profile images stays the same.)

Non subscribers would get a choice of 20 images relating to F1 / Open wheel racing.. Or a choice of a Nation Flag.

Subscribers would get the choice to upload their own "Car logo" but within a set size. This reason is that it can be used all over iGP. 
It could be included in to the 2D system where as you would click on your driver and your logo could appear with the drivers name.. This would be the same when you click on another subscribers driver...
The Free 2 Play members see nothing and display nothing.

Your Car logo can also be used in other areas in iGP.. The forums section would only display subscribers images.. Non subscribers would either use the basic image from the 20 / Flag / or nothing at all... Giving the Subscribers another little bonus to non subscribers.

+ many many other changes to spend tokens.

I think this opens a whole new world to iGP and would make the game a lot more interactive and keep you on longer and coming back for more..


So if you had a token system. What things would you like to see added so you could spend your tokens on?

I say 2d for everyone 3d for payed

This is just pay to win. You want me to pay over £60 for a 1 year sub to a game I can only play 3 or 4 times a week? Yeah, not sure if you are trolling or not to be honest.

I'm going to be honest, this is one of the worst ideas I've ever seen. All of these added bonuses is just making it like free-to-play MMO's, pay gates ever where and who ever has the most money wins. The sub should add no huge benefits to the game, just car liveries, the race player (Which is not anything special, I'm fine with the timing screens, as much as I liked the free trial of the actual race screen) and things like that, mainly asthetics. 

All this stuff you've mentioned means free players are going to have no fun. How is someone supposed to get into a game if they are being battered by pay-to-win players all season? They'll get fed up and leave. 

You are charging too much, no one will pay £60 for a year.
