Honestly, I love the ease of LEGENDSonline. What I think would help boost sales for the online version of LOW would be to release the LOW sets from here on out in cardstock and online. They do it for COTG, and COTGonline seems to be very popular.
So, say they release Legends X (ten cards); add another eight from former sets. I wouldn't care if the price was higher. It's like, why pay for online if you cannot get what's released on cardstock. I know COTG and LOW are way different due to copyrights and stuff, but see how that would go over if it was a pick and choose type of thing for COTGonline, or if COTGonline sets were released way later than the cardstock.
It really makes a lot of sense to go this route.
No, I'm not complaining. ;D
I just wanted to see if anybody involved with LOW/LOWonline would chime in.
What are your thoughts?

I think that's a very good idea, Dustin.

If online/cardstock don't become somewhat even, online will die. So many people would be willing to help with 'adding stats to the online program and uploading card art.' That's money in FG's pocket, really. Also, why not just tell us who will not make it online. Adding a Young Race / Heel Snuka / Young Heenan does not make up for how long it's been since LEGENDSonline players got any light shined on its future. Thank you, Chad. However, Legends 10 should have been released online and cardstock at the same time. That would boost sales, I'm sure. Also, it would make me feel like spending $68 was worth it. Also, I hope this isn't deleted. EDIT: People, you can voice your opinion.  Chad's approved it so far. You're not going to get into trouble. |

The reason I like COTGOnline is because I can get the latest GWF expansion the day it is released. I also play aCe online because it is exclusive to online. Legends Online has neither of these things going for it. When a new Legends set is released in online form it's of wrestlers who have been in the cardstock version for anywhere between several months and several years. There's nothing new and exciting there. I'd rather play in traditional format with the expanded roster and save the money I'd spend for Legends Online on other Filsinger Games product.
I think for various reasons it may not be feasible to release entire expansions day and date of the cardstock release depending on contract situations, but what about if they took guys like Giant Bernard or Kurrgan (just to name two random names) who didn't win the last poll for inclusion in Legends Ten and debuted them online first? Or maybe someone who is a total surprise. Not online exclusively, but debut them online in advance of their cardstock release.

A early release of certain guys online, with their card being in the upcoming cardstock set would help peek interest as well. iTunes (sometimes) lets you buy 1 song off an album before it is released (as part of a pre-order) and then you get the rest of the album when it is released. How cool would that be? Order Legends Online 4 now and get Giant Bernard early, with the other 9 wrestlers coming in June - or something like that. |

If it was something like that, I would definitely be interested.

Agree with Chad here. Solid suggestion, Dustin.
And yeah Mark, I think you're right in saying that LEGENDSonline needs exclusives that make it more of a must have for fans. Adding some guys that are signed to the game but end up as losers of the "tenth card poll" to an LO set (before they eventually get released in paper card form, of course) is a great idea.
I think it's safe to say that with Tom looking for input about LO (the recent "card art poll"), that these suggestions are being seriously considered by Mr. Menace.

What about getting some of the guys that would have a hard time getting a card in a set? I'm sure there are some pretty obscure guys signed that could see an Online release.

I look forward to what you guys have up your sleeves. |
