That would be 60 gokoins - which cost $5 for 50 - so you have to buy mismatched amounts of coins to buy the expansions.

I'm going to send DougZ a check for $100 right now - and I will never pay funsockets anything.

Or 110 for $10

230 for $20?

Edit: OK, I admit, maybe these are good amounts for other games. But they are perfectly annoying for buying Dominion sets

assuming this works at some point, they are probably getting my money anyway

Grujah · « **Reply #79 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:34:46 am »

Well, other games might cost differently.

So, its 10 bucks per big expansion (15 for DA) ?

What an obvious scam for more money..

Yeah, making things cheaper when you buy in bulk is an 'obvious scam' that no one else has ever done ever....

Did you really expect them to not try to do these kinds of pricing/marketing gimmicks to try to make more cash? Really?

There are no big expansions. The IRL 'big' expansions are split in to smaller ones.

Lol, load bar finished, popup: Lost network connection.

Grujah · « **Reply #83 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:37:05 am »

WW, they mean that if you buy dominion you always have leftover money.

Anyway, as much as I like this whole dead, 95% loading and than - "connection lost". Sigh.

IamOBESE · « **Reply #84 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:40:30 am »

Did anyone who registered actually get a confirmation email?

I haven't gotten one yet, but it hasn't seemed to get in my way at all

Captain_Frisk · « **Reply #85 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:42:02 am »

So - $6 for a mini expansion - $12 for a full, and $18 (!!!) for dark ages. Overpriced - but within the range of tolerable - if you buy everything (once its all released) you're out somewhere near $100.

What I'm offended about is the blatantly consumer unfriendliness of the dual token system... i can't actually pay the exact amount I want to - but I have to pay just a little bit more - which means I have a little left in my account - which means I want to buy something to use it - which means I need to add some money to my account ....

Good for business - bad for consumer - and I don't love dominion enough support behavior like this.

I feel really bad for Donald.

Watno · « **Reply #86 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:42:22 am »

i have, took some minutes
Im actually in, but the campaign set wont load.
Also i think the prize is pretty high, ~~not sure wether~~ dont think im willing to pay that much

jsh357 · « **Reply #87 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:43:02 am »

Still loading for me...I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay that much for expansions since I already own all the sets, but I hope this doesn't totally crash and burn. I really like the implementation, it just needs more time.

DerWaldschrat · « **Reply #88 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:43:11 am »

Well, I got the mail, too, only after a few seconds.
But loading takes ages...

ashersky · « **Reply #89 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:44:19 am »

I'm in...annoying music to say the least. The "Create Game" button doesn't seem to be working. Hopefully see one of you in a game soon...

jsh357 · « **Reply #90 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:44:50 am »

I am guessing they're still getting things set up, considering no announcement has been made. Not sure why they made the page live if so.

ArjanB · « **Reply #91 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:45:11 am »

So, me and my girlfriend loves to play dominion IRL and have all the expansions and love to play to others on Isotropic.
And now we have to pay both like $100 to play it on internet?

Only 1 of you has to pay as long as you're always playing the games together. Still steep IMO, but perhaps I'm spoiled by how cheap most apps are these days.

Not being able to spend the exact amount of money you want sucks, but that is how Xbox Live has been doing it forever. I suppose you could argue that Xbox Live is a better service though.

I think he is right, maybe we should wait a bit.

Just because other people are doing it too doesn't make it right.

This was probably the best post @ bgg yesterday

Last year at genCon, I had the opportunity to meet with the Goko(then FunSockets) guys. They wanted a license for Innovation, along with other Asmadi products. Really nice guys, but something just didn't feel right about the whole deal. They wanted a long term exclusivity contract, and I just wasn't interested in ceding that control for years with no guarantee of delivery.

They had solid business background, but my read on what they were best at was acquisition. It was an exec team that could boast the most about being able to secure VC funds. They didn't have a ny tech details to offer me except the word HTML5, and so I ultimately passed. I hope they succeed in creating a great online board game portal, but I hope it is not at the expense of offline play for board gamers.

My concern is that people who are good at acquiring funding are not always folks that are good at delivering. They sure did convince a lot of people to give them digital rights, and they got their $8M. I hope they use it to make an awesome site, and not the next 38 Studios.

I think these guys are great business guys, but clearly not great coders

100? Isn't it 2 (Int) + 2 (Sea) + 2 (Pros) + 1 (Alch) + 1(Corn) + 2 (Hint) + 3(DA) = ~60-70 bucks?

Watno · « **Reply #97 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:53:34 am »

its $75/ €60 if you buy a 580, a 230 and a 50 pack, since you need 840 coins

Maybe he can use it to start up fauxminion.isotropic.org...
