I leave the details to the Splinterlands Corp. and CLAYBOYN. This is to NULL the NULL option.
If the new player thinks it is a scam he will sell his cards and then he will realize..........wow. wow. I can sell my cards this is not a scam like Heartstone. This is real. And then he will come back or not. His choice.
sorry, but when it comes to marketing and player retention, you can't be so arrogant as to say ``he will come back or not. His choice.''
and apart from that, he then pays 20 dollars for a spellbook and then sells his cards and gets 5 dollars back? and that's supposed to convince him afterwards that it's not a scam?
there's no need to reinvent the wheel here, it's been tested by experts, with the most expensive psychologists, marketing professionals and co. for years. games that want the player to spend money in the game work best with free access. that's how you get most people ``addicted''.
