Wtf @ the new token

Twilight, it does work in Canada and about 130 other countries. It all depends on the carrier that you have. It's pretty simple, if you try it and it doesn't send you a code then it doesn't work.

Hey, when I try to reply to 76001 it tells me it can't send the message and to be sure that I used a correct 10 digit number... Eh, I'm on Alltel if that is the problem. My phone is the Blackberry Curve. I hope it's not due to that.

That's odd, I got my passcode and when I went to sign in it told me that the product wasn't available in Canada... and I'm on Rogers :P

Sorry for my ignorance but Rogers is a wireless carrier? What is odd is that you might be right. Looking over the docs for this service it is possible that it is only servicing american phones in Canada. Hmmm... Looking into it more

Cool idea. As long as the token isn't a requirement for tier points, I approve of this. I can't wait to see what will come in the future.

I've got the same problem, I'm from Belgium

Got the SMS with the passcode, but an error message when I entered it on the site.

I'm a bit confused, you buy it with your phone, but is a CD shipped, or mp3's to dl to your box, or are they added to your phone? also how does buying this give you the token if the page you buy it on is on another site? (not saying it doesn't just asking how)

edit: also will this become something similar to dlc songs on games like gh, where "packs" of songs will be used for dl rather than a singular step file along with the artist's songs?

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

I like the idea of selling ffr artist albums, but I dont like the idea of purchasing a token. What if you have semi stuck up parents who dont want to but this for you?

What those people going to do, not play a song that is out? Im going to be honest, I hope there isn't a crap load of these going to set in the tokens.

I approve the selling of albums, I dont aprove of buying the token (even though it is included)

Would it be to much to let subscribers just have the token? Just a suggestion, if not thats fine.

Reason I suggested this... We did pay to get our subscription.

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

Tell your parents you want this album... >_> you get your token anyway.

I don't really care for the album, id rather just have the token, hence the reason being Id basically be buying a token for $7 dollars as aposed to getting both when I only would enjoy 1.

I still like the idea of selling FFR Albums, I just don't support the idea of only way to get this new token is basically buying it.

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

MrMagic, the token would be there as a thank you or a bonus to show that you supported that album and FFR. I am open to all kinds of ideas here.. Maybe we don't include specialized tokens at all and just do straight album sales. It would save some work and cost on our part. It would be one less level we have to create for each product we sell.

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

Right now, our thank you for supporting FFR is getting a non laggy game engine, and songs before the come out, and few small Subscriber features such as beta level reader, token levels ranks etc... Im not trying to give off a bad vibe saying im not happy with subscriber features, in all, im very pleased with what we have now. But I can deal with waiting for the songs.

I would just really like this token to be available to all subscribers. Its just my opinion. Final decision is always up to you. What it may end up being, I can deal with it

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

A lot of money would be generated this way...tokentards, etc.

I'm not calling you a tokentard, MrMagic...I was about to post this regardless of your posting.

But it's the truth.

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

I guess that is what I am saying, maybe there would be less drama if we took the specialized token out of the equation all together. The last thing I want is for people to feel uneasy about it. I may be quiet most of the time, I may be working behind the scenes nearly all of the time but I do care about what you guys think and I do care about how you feel. It's important to me that I consult everyone on decisions like this.

Cheers,

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

I honestly don't see why people would get upset over the token. People haven't raved over the file or anything, and it doesn't count in rankings, and it's a gift that comes along with the purchase of the album. Can someone who is in opposition explain why you dislike this?

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

A few words for you all:

Holy fuch this thread is huge.
You guys all care a biiiiit too much about this.
Calm down.

It's a stepfile. It's FFR. jeez.

[MrMagic5239]

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

I would say, take the specialized token out, and instead of just removing the token that is out now, anyone who purchased it, refund their purchase and then release it to the public to find. Then keep it straight forward with just straight album sales. There is a lot of people on ffr who would buy the albums. I do get the occasional IM on aim or msn "Man I wish I could get that FFR song for my ipod" etc...

Re: Wtf @ the new token *mwahahahah*

Synth, the vast majority, if not all, of the album purchases would be for the token, not the music.
