iMtG Server and Have it All - Business Model discussion

Yes, shortly after.

Short is a term relative to interpretation

It could take up to a month for an app update. So aether revolt will not be updated to its proper set (currently spoilers) until the next app update

I'm sure with a subscription available now, data bases and spoiler info will be up sooner than in the past.

If I change the app so that when you buy iMtG Server subscription while having All modules enabled the subscription period will be doubled - would you be happy to subscribe?

So since I bought it all, I'll get 2 years with a year subscription ($10)?

If I change the app, yes. Would you subscribe under these circumstances? This question is open to anyone, really.

I honestly would it would be a great offer and a show of good will towards the ones who have invested thus far.

I'd like to point out I'm no fan of subscriptions of any form.

Either we meet somewhere in the middle, in which will have an app, or we wont. Guess what happens then?

I'd subscribe $10 for 2 years

Great incentive for the app with more support than before
Let me know where to send money to

Perhaps mtgo prices may be factored in eventually?

Great.

We will outsource all of the payment processing to Apple (as PayPal has lost their way), so the way to go is wait for the version which says in Main Menu -> Shop: "Have it All doubles the remaining iMtG Server time.", it should say "triples" if you have iMtG Plus, and just buy it through App Store.

Decision regarding MTGO and EU market prices is postponed until TCGplayer's pricing API v4 is available (slight delay here) or until release of their own app (whichever comes first) so we can see where we fit on the current market. TCG were an ok partner over the years, but they would not last nearly as long in a professional environment where SAP ERP systems are being implemented and maintained.

I understand SCG Mobile is dead but I do not know since when?

Regardless EU pricing:

Will there be possibilities in the future for additional price search options to other foreign languages? (Def something worth paying for!)


Looking forward to new updates

You know what, I've thought about it, and for $10 I will subscribe for 2 years. Let me know if this is going to be implemented.

Yes, we will add the multiplier in 7.0.3 but if you get iMtG Server before 7.0.3 hits the App Store, with 7.0.3 upgrade you will get 2 or 3 months extra on top of it multiplying the remaining time by 2 or 3 (depending if you are on iMtG or iMtG Plus).

I also would probably subscribe $10 for 2 years.

 If I understand correctly I can purchase 1 year for $13.99 (CAD) currently and then when the next version comes out it will have the option to "double your current subscription" which will be free to activate for current "I'll have it all" members?

No, it will be an unsupported one-off in the background without any user interaction, so if you are not sure what you are doing, wait for 7.0.3.

KangaRod, did you delete your app and then reinstall it. I'm being told by Piotr that because I deleted the app, it deletes the subscription. But I had not deleted until this issue started. I am having the exact sam issue as you, as there are others that appear to be having the same issue. But there has not been any resolution offered by Piotr.

No, you are not having the same exact issue. Calm down and contact Apple App Store as I directed you.

Do not make yourself vulnerable to legal litigation through http://ultimatelaw.org charity which protects indie developers from slander.

So I purchased the 1 year subscription just now for $13.99 (which it looks like got upgraded to 15 months) but it still brings me to the store when I try and update the database when it prompts me.

 I thought it didn't go through, so I almost purchased it again and fortunately it said that I already have it.

 How do I update the database?

If it did not give you the iMtG Server Expiry Date, then it did not got through and you should NOT have been charged by Apple. If they charged you, ask them to give you your money back as they did not inform the app that the payment was made.

If the app displayed "15 months" message, it means it worked and you got extra months calculated into your Expiry Date, but you can still lose the subscription by deleting the app before the purchase is saved on iCloud or Gathering servers.

I did get the time period this time, but it said 15 months; but you had said it would be 2 years for us with the have it all?

You got extra months calculated into your Expiry Date.
