Hey, sorry if this has been asked, or answered before, I've been looking around a bit and haven't seen an answer. Just curious if it's been said if there will be new servers with no transfers for new characters when ARR is released?
I have a few lower levels from version 1.0, but my old PC wouldnt run it very well which compounded the other various problems with it at launch so I didn't play much, and would like a fresh start with other noobs when it launches again. As much as I'm looking forward to this game, the latest videos are looking great, I'm not looking forward to trying to play catch up with everyone else on the servers being high level.

I think for beta phase4 every character will carry over to the actual release. And beta sign up start jan 7th. I know some of the toons from 1.0 will carry over to 2.0 but not sure how that all works, kinda confusing to me imo. But I wasnt a high lvl myself so doesnt matter and rather start new anyways with a male miquote. Could always just delete for fresh start.
Yah Im going to start over anyway, I was just wondering if there was any news about any new servers where everyone was a fresh character to roll on at release.
There will be new servers at launch that are not able to be transferred to, also all Ps3 and PC players will be on the same servers. Old character's will be on the older servers and new characters will be able to to be made on thos servers as well.
EDIT: Found the FAQ
"Q) What are the "new" and "old" servers? What do they mean?
A) New servers are where everyone starts from the beginning. There is no transferring of v.1.0 accounts to these servers. Everyone starts from scratch. Old servers allow the transfer of your old account. The reason these are split is in order to maintain balance and fairness for new people who have never been in the game before to have a fair shot at the market and so old players can't manipulate with their millions of gil they have acquired over the two years."

Yah the economy was my first concern, I remeber leveling alt jobs in FF 11 and it would cost so much money for level 10 scale gear to head to the dunes, I couldn't imagine being a new character trying to get money for that back then.
The other is I know if everyone else is at the cap when I start I will rush through to catch people, I don't know how fast leveling is going to be with ARR, but I hope its pretty slow, in comparison to the games lately. And if I'm rushing to catch up Im afraid I'll miss some cool stuff the game has to offer

YoshiP stated that it will be possible to reach the cap doing only the main story quests (though after that you'll have to find another way to level the remaining classes). You're kinda expected to level more than just one class though, especially since you need certain class combinations for certain jobs, and there will undoubtedly be many who aim to max everything so there is effectively a very high cap...

Lag is the biggest issue for servers located in Japan....what's the point if North American players cannot play on North American servers?

Originally posted by Ensifer
It will not be region locked, but upon launch of ARR, if I'm not mistaken it was said that all existing characters will be transferred to their specific region. Then along with the free character/race change, you will then have the choice to choose whatever server/region you wish to play on., minus the new worlds as those are being reserved for new characters only.

As odd as it may sound, I think you will be better off starting on a server that has Max level characters already on it.
Yoshi-P is already reducing everyone's gil by 90% (If you had 10,000,000 gil, you will have 1,000,000), in addition to lowering NPC prices on mats by 90% to match (not counting how much easier it would be for people to gather their own stuff by comparison to 1.0).
Taking that into account, the economy needs to basically start from scratch whether it's an old or new server, with the only difference being that you will have a large influx of every item imaginable at the start on the Auction House (with existing servers). These items will likely be INCREDIBLY cheap for new players, in addition to there being veterans who are known to being very generous to new players in giving free stuff glore (on the server I was on, at least).
On a new server, items will be very rare as people either just focus on crafts that will take a decent time to level, or just worry about playing the game without level appropriate gear. The items that do show up on the market are likely to be controlled by those who just focus on crafts at the beginning, who have little competition in a market with large demand (as no one has these items or the ability to craft them).
All in all, the economy will be in a dire state at start by comparison, and quite possibly be in the same spot as existing servers one month after the game launches (though still highly likely that prices will be high in cost). If you aren't one of the few who took crafting, you're at the bottom of the barrel, and if you are, you just wasted a month of your time and the server is essentially packed with crafters, the same as an existing one. In addition, materials will also cost more to level crafting for these new servers as well, so you'll pay more there as well.
My advice would be joining an old server, making a few friends on the forums who might help you, and or making friends early in the game in which to help you level crafts and give you items 1-50 for basically free.

The thing is the gil change means nothing to the actual players as their relative wealth remains the same; that change is just to artificially reduce inflation whilst they have the opportunity to do so. Yes a new economy will have to be established but those who were rich before will STILL be rich and STILL be fully capable of manipulating the auction house. A beginner starting on those servers will see the prices of materials on the auction house skyrocket much faster than on the new servers.
I'm planning on starting over on one of the new servers. Seeing as ARR is almost an entirely new world, with a new storyline and way to play, I'd enjoy it better from the beginning than coming in on a high lvl char and steam-rolling everything.
I care more about story and the journey, than already being at the cap and just doing dungeons and raids. I'll get to the cap again eventually, no hurry though!

Prices will be artificially high on old servers until the economy settles, a lot of players converted their gil to materials or gear to try and safeguard against the 90% reduction in gil. So i'm exptecing a swamp in materials in the auction house though it may go the other way and players may hold out until the economy balances out.
If they have speeded up the levelling then I think low to mid level mats and equipment will be relatively cheap as players will be levelling their gathering and crafting jobs, players will be out levelling the gear faster than they obtain it, the high cost items are going to be in the mid 30's to lvl 50 equipment as players want their gear melded with materia and the equipment will last longer as the levelling curve straightens out. For those that don't know, high level gear preferably lvl 49/50 is used to spirit link with, which is then broken to obtain materia to meld to their gear, giving additional stats. As far as I'm aware this system will still be used.
If you intend to join an older server, it will not be all doom and gloom, plenty of linkshells will take in new players, and I have no doubt these linkshells will have members that have high level crafters that will kit you out with gear and weapons. Not all players from 1.0 have every job to lvl 50 and will enjoy the ride from level 1 with a new job. FFXI and FFXIV has some of the best community members I have ever come across, and yes they do have the odd douche bag as all games do.
Originally posted by Cod_Eye
Yup, but I suspect those who have every class to lvl 50 and continue playing with their 1.0 characters will be leveling the new Arcanist class. And then sometime after launch the Summoner job will also be added.
For those who have only played FFXI and are familier with that Job / Sub-job system, FFXIV is quite different. Here you have to have 2 select classes at specific min levels in order to unlock the quest for said Job. For example, to unlock the Warrior Soul Questline, you must get the Maurader class to lvl 30 and the Gladiator class to 15. After you finish that questline, you earn the Soul of Warrior which allows you play as the Warrior Job.

I personally plan on making two new characters and level them up with different jobs, all the while having my old character remain my maxed craftsman. That way I have two characters working on Battle Leves and one with Crafting Leves as they are granted every 12 hours and then accumulate up to 100 in ARR if not used.
Having one super character is tempting, but overall less efficient in the gil making scheme of things. One thing about new servers is that the RP community is already set on existing realms to continue their stories, so if you're a role player it's pretty much determined where to go already if we don't want to split a niche community up as is.

This was a major worry for a while, and perhaps still may be the case. Though Yosh-P said it was a bad idea to trade items to save for 2.0 when the gil conversion was mentioned simply because it may be easier to get materials or items in question. He already confirmed in a live letter to the producer that making materia and double melding will be much, much easier in A Realm Reborn and that there were improvements to gathering your own resources. When people try to sell for obnoxiously large prices for these formerly top of the top tier items, there will be massive undercutting in no time. In addition, those were for top tier items and not just adequate items, which were still cheap even up to the end of 1.0.
I've a few linshell mates who were thankful for this information a little while ago, as they originally spend tens of millions of gil on such items, but resold them prior to Yoshi's announcement. Ultimately, the high tier items will have to pretty much have to resettle in the market as I initially said (with the medium still being low); people who thought themselves clever will try to start high, but will be forced to go low before long. With one of my crafting shells especially, we intend to set excellent prices for low, medium and high level items if we see someone trying to gouge.

Comments about Justin Boots Justin Kid's Justin Gypsy Western Boots:
I ordered these boots for my son as description read these were boots for a little boy. It was very disappointing when he opened and wanted to know why he had received "girl" boots. Really the boots would be fine for any kid - except the bottom of the boot has flower prints and a cowgirl on the tread. And the colors are more teal and coral as opposed to orange and green in the stitching.
Needless to say a really disappointing moment for all involved.

(I'm a double fisted Tron! I can fight for the user - and - the developer!)
Would you pay again for iOS 7 versions of your favorite apps?
iOS 7 is coming, and with it an all-new design language. Apps will have to update to reflect that change, or risk looking old and outdated, and lose their place to newer, hotter updates and upstarts. But great design and development aren't free -- they're expensive. So how will companies afford to restart in a post-iOS 7 world. Apple has shown their answer - charge again for the app. Will customers accept this, however? Hall of famer Gedeon Maheux of the Iconfactory wrestles with the upcoming reality on his Gedblog:
At the Iconfactory, we typically offer new paid version of our apps (xScope, Twitterrific) about every 18 months with many free upgrades in between. Though there are always users who will complain about having to pay for all-new versions, the vast majority know that in order for an app to survive and flourish, they occasionally have to do their part and support its development. Hopefully the upcoming wave of apps updated for iOS 7, both free and paid, will help people fall in love with their apps all over again.
Part of this is expectational legacy: old timers are used to upgrade pricing for software. People who's first computer was an iPhone or iPad have no such expectation. However, no one is teaching the value of software these days either. If you go and see Star Trek in the theater, you don't expect to get in to see Star Trek: Into Darkness for free. If you paid an employee to work yesterday, you don't expect to have them work for free today. Yet many people have exactly that expectation, and developers and designers like Ged face that challenge every day. They get told, over and over again, that something they spent days, weeks, months and years on, missed sleep and weekends and their families for, isn't worth as much as a fancy cup of coffee. Isn't worth as much as an ebook. Is barely worth as much as an MP3 file. (Which, by the way, you have to pay again for every time there's a remix...)
Willing great software into existence, crafting great functionality and user experience, is difficult enough. Continuing to do so when everyone from the platform you love to the customers you serve tell you it has little or no value to them? I can't even imagine.
I bought the first version of Twitterrific on the App Store day one. I've bought every version since. I'll buy every version hence. I use it every day. It makes my life a little more delightful. I value it. I want more of it. It already looks great on iOS 7, and I can't imagine what they'll do with it next. But I'm ready, willing, and super happy to pay for it and find out. And the same holds true for all the other apps I use, come iOS 7.
Now go read the smart stuff Ged says.

Would you pay again for iOS 7 versions of your favorite apps?
For me personally it would depend on the app and if there was any substantial enhancements to that app. I'd also be concerned over the real reasoning for the re-charge. Is it because of crazy changes Apple made that required a TON of reworking or does it really just come down to cosmetic changes? I'd hope the developer would be clear on that either way, so I can throw blame at the right person lol.
This to. Though, It would really make me mad if the apps I bought not even half a year ago decided to recharge. But I can see where they are coming from if they do.
If they did recharge, I'd likely be a lot more wary about buying apps again for the fear that the developer is just going to drop it after they make some money.
I'm with you. Most games? No. They don't have the same ui today as core iOS, so charging again is not going to do it. I won't pay so they can change the palatte of the icon.
However, the really useful apps? Sure. No problem. Take advantage of more than just the new UI though. Make the app better, not just a wardrobe change.
Hells no. I don't even like the look of ios 7 and that flat windows phoneish look plus i bought expecting NOT to have to pay again. I'd keep using the old version, use a free service, or go to a different paid one out of spite. But having an app isn't that important. I'm not trying to give away more of my money. I don't have many paid apps anyways. I already know of free alternatives.
That philosophy is fine with me, provided you have developed a usable product with a decent lifespan.
If you sell an app you have an obligation to maintain it for a reasonable timeframe (at least 2 years from release date but longer is desirable) on the OS it was designed for. The OS has an obligation to maintain backwards compatibility for a reasonable period of time. If the OS is proven to be backwards compatible it is the developers responsibility to make sure the app is also. So if your app is still doing what it was supposed to do then go ahead and not do any more development work on it, I'm OK with that. I just don't want to be forced to replace something that should be working fine for me as it is.
If you want new bells and whistles at some point they cost, simple fact of life. But paying for a product you can use for 2+ years in todays software environment is not a bell or a whistle.
I feel if I bought an app (program), the developer has a responsibility to maintain it, at least, for a little while. Kind of like Microsoft and Apple do with bug fixes, and, adding new features some times (service packs in WIndows).
Or why should I spend money, if I know they won't support there app?
Well said. I agree with you 100%! I feel the same way. Thank you for putting it into words for me.
You're Welcome.
Of course. Everyone should support the hard work of continued development.
That really depends. I think I would re-evaluate those games that I bought months ago but are now boring. Unused or rarely used apps would be on the margin. For my go-to apps, I would have to bend over and take it. I would be more upset if it was something I've recently purchased. Maybe I should hold off purchasing any more apps and maybe developers would be wise to hold off releasing anything for a couple months.
I think that if you had to do that then you might as well evaluate you mobile OS platform and decide if you want to switch. I would think that one of the things that keeps someone with an iOS device from switching to android is that they are heavily invested in the apps for iOS.
Completely agree!! I feel that a lot of people stick with IOS because they are so invested in the eco-system. I feel that if people are required to start over it may be the point in which they may decide to make a switch. I believe it was on the launch of talk 2013 it was discussed that all the platforms are offering a great user experience now and the choices are there.
Nope. Aside from the fact that there's at best, one or two "new features" that I like, or would use in iOS7, it's not enough to overcome how much I detest the new visual appearance. Add onto that if I'll have to be paying again for the apps, then I'll be staying on iOS6 as long as I possible can, then moving to Android.
It would be nice if the developers update the apps for free but understand that they have to make a living too.
I have no problem with this as long as the old version still works. Nevertheless, your Star Trek comparison is invalid. It would be more like the projector shuts down halfway through Into Darkness and they won't turn it back on unless I buy another ticket. I just bought Sky Gamblers Cold War, but if you wanted to charge me for an update to Sky Gamblers Supremacy, that wouldn't be right. In other words, I have no problem paying for a new version (or sequel), but I do have a problem paying for updates.
What about a song remix? Those aren't free either?
Let's say it takes 6 months to make an app, and 6 months to make version 2, why should version 2 be free?
But the original song still works and can be listened to indefinitely. That is not the case with apps no longer getting updates. Apple more or less forces you to update the firmware of your device. If an app no longer works after the firmware update, I shouldn't pay again to get the originally paid functionality back. That would be just a bug fix.
Large software updates can enhance the experience, add functionality and some can even add "game-changing" milestones. Small fixes are under-rated but very necessary (security patches, compatibility updates, other necessary maintenance that requires time & resources) and you would pay a mechanic for vehicle maintenance would you not?
MP3 are for the most part static. You download the MP3 and you listen to the exact same song again and again and again. It's probably not going to remix, enhance or change itself during it's lifespan(and if it does, you've got a headline story).
I think the comparison between static media(songs, movies, tv shows) and software is not valid. They're apples and oranges.
PS Regarding the game analogy:
Technically I think it's possible to download an iOS game into a device and play it for the lifespan of the hardware, as long as you don't make ANY updates to hardware/OS. You can keep playing that game in a silo-ed environment until its bitter end if that is your liking.
That's a great idea. Basically they should charge about half of the current app price for the update (given that the update is more than just aesthetic). I would be up for that.
Free updates for perpetuity just isn't sustainable. And I have no problem supporting continued development of an app I use frequently or even constantly, like Tweetbot. So the answer to the question is definitely yes.
That said, there's a balance and there should be some genuine differences in the new version to make up for charging again.
If they going to charge for just for changing looks to fit in with the new ui I would personally would not, hell they can charge but they better leave the old one still available to use. Also I thinkupgraders should get a discount if they plan to go this route because essentially an upgraded is paying more than a new buyer as they have sort of paid for it...I guess it all depends on the app too, if all they are doing is changing the look and not adding anything new features wise than I would not pay to upgrade...
One of the reason I haven't ventured off to try other phones and OS's is because of the amount of money and time I've invested in iOS apps. If I had to repurchase them all again I would more than likely take the opportunity to test the waters of Android or Windows Phone for a year just to see what I may be missing.
For me it will depend on the app but for the most part, I won't pay again just because of the new design for iOS7. You are basically ripping users off by charging them twice for the same app just for an updated design. I would hope most if not all developers would not like this. If I was a developer I would be against it. I'm not greedy.
It would not be a problem for me. I understand that developers have mouths to feed including their own. In a week i spend unnecessary money on things like snickers and twix bars so i would just deprive myself of them for a while so that i can re-up on all of my apps. People spend $5-7 at starbucks heck, at dunkin donuts i used to spend about $30 every month when i did the math, its not that big a deal to spend 99 cents on a app that i love and gets the job done...
people are chemically addicted to caffeine. I'm not addicted to an app. I have no need for it. Every cent counts. All 99 cents. And it's not my job to feed developers. If the market can't sustain their product the product isn't needed. And most paid apps I don't need.
I can't believe this is even being discussed. Google completely revamped their design language and no developers were charging for updates just so they could fund "being consistent with the system UI metaphors/design."
Only iOS developers would think about this, since they are used to a lot of users bending over and paying out.
True but it is also much easier to pirate things on googles open Os. On iOS it may be equally easy or a bit harder but people aren't as willing to make the effort at least in my opinion. What I think it really boils down to is wether or not someone understands, and appreciates the little things in life. Which many people today do not.
I would have no problem re-buying apps I use daily should there be new versions. Apps are cheap and development is expensive.
Some people posting here are just rationalising being cheap-skates. That's all there is to it.
Of the 27 apps I have currently installed 18 were free and the most I paid for the remaining ten was $6 as a donation to Shazam. I will happily buy the remaining 10 again should I have to.
This expectation of perpetual, free updates for a one-off minimal fee is just ludicrous and bad for developers and the eco-system in general.
"Some people posting here are just rationalising being cheap-skates. That's all there is to it."
Eh, not really. I have well over 150 apps installed on my iPod 5th Generation, and I've spent well over $300 on apps (I get mostly payed apps because I do want to support developers when I can), but if they decided to recharge me, I donno if I could afford it now (I now have to budget college with play). I'd also be pretty mad if all of my apps decided to charge me again, after just 6 months.
Maybe if they gave there user's a warning a couple months a head of time, and pulled the app from the store so new customers wouldn't end up buying an app that won't receive updates, I'd feel better about it.
I don't understand the mentality if people at all!! Rene wrote in the article that developers spend hours and hours on apps and games yet consumers today feel they are so freaking ENTITLED to FREE that they don't care about of the time or sacrifices these people had to make these apps so we can enjoy them.
For example my mom owns her own furniture store and she pours her time and effort into her customers even doing work on their orders during her off time and has even given up holidays but do those customers care, NO! Customers are so selfish today they don't give a rats ass about anyone but themselves.
When I was on a Android I tried to support as many developers as I could and pay for my apps but what did some of my friends do they downloaded Black Market to pirate everything.
In conclusion LOL I would repurchase apps that I value. For another example I had purchased tapatalk and tapatalk HD then when tapatalk 2 was released I didn't moan about paying again because they did an excellent job on the new version and there were a lot of new improved features.
Sent from the iMore App
funny i just downloaded tapatalk for free. I'm good with that or nothing.
It's not really customers. You say customers but really it's the entire society of humankind. The majority of them have been conditioned to think that they are entitled to things they are not, as well as their view being skewed on what the proper value of something is. For instance skittles $1.59 at my local grocerecy store. Instant gratification no one complains. Tiny wings app $.99 with continuous gratification and new levels + the ability to interconnect with others and have more gratification. People complain and moan... Either one of two things have occurred their view has been skewed or they are immature..
I was a developer for a while. Created an app I worked hours and hours on. I would never recharge users for an upgrade. Like someone said, if they have 150 apps and 75% were paid, that would basically make them repay possibly a 100 bucks. Also, I just got an iPhone 4 months ago. Why should I have to repay for apps I bought not even half a year ago?? I spent probably a hundred bucks already. When I had android I would always buy an app I really liked apposed to just downloading it off the Internet. As a developer, I would understand that.
I see both sides. If it is necessary for the app to run on iOS 7, then Apple should pay or get absolutely no payment which means they provide server space and downloading free, Apple changed the UI not us. If it is just a cosmetic change to the icon and minor UI changes, no charge. If it requires serious upgrading and (re)coding, sure I'd pay for it, but only on my must have apps. I would be inclined to purchase future apps from those that provide free upgrades as a reward for doing this.
Windows Phone Store supports this. Amazon's App Store, IIRC, supports this. Google Play supports refunds, though the window isn't especially large you can still peek around quickly after downloading it. Not sure what you're talking about, cause it just seems like you're taking one weakness of Apple's App Store and applying it to everyone it doesn't apply to :-)
Apple apps are either free or paid, as I understand it - no trials. Maybe the Windows Stores (what I previously used) allows trials because they are not number one and need get as many apps in users phones as possible. I miss it, because I did pay for a few apps after seeing their value.
My all friend, I hope all are well and I am also well. This is social communication site, most of people discuses about social communication site. I thank that social communication can to solve some problem. This a another social communication site, there many discussion which is about Cell phone, cell phone is larger communication way which are help to connection other person very easily. ( http://www.moreviews.net ) this is social communication site, there have more communication system, which can help to build up our communication system. I use this site for need any information.
There are very few of my apps I would even consider purchasing again. I can't even understand separate iPad and iPhone versions if the only difference is higher resolution.
I don't expect unlimited improvements to an app for free, but I do expect unlimited free bug fixes within a reasonable time frame such as five years. To do less makes free apps more appealing than paid.
If you put in all kinds of changes and updates then release a version 2, 3, 4, etc., but don't make changes to the original and expect people to pay. I think of it like Microsoft office or Lightroom, where you can buy the new version with the bells and whistles, but the old one still works.
In the article you mentioned remixes and having to pay for those. To me that is understandable. However, you don't have to buy the remix, and if you don't it in no way impairs your original.
So far I am hating the look of iOS 7, but like the changes under the hood. If app developers do iOS 7 their apps in looks, I would definitely prefer to keep my original versions.
Stopping now before I turn this into a rant about iOS 7 losing the elegance that I expect from apple.
Sent from the iMore App
If the upgrade is to only accommodate the cosmetic changes of iOS 7 then I will be consider other options before begrudgingly paying for an update and that's only if it's an app that I use everyday. If there's a bump in functionality Is feel better about paying to upgrade.
BTW what Twitter app is that?
The way the article tries to portray users as a bunch of cheap skates is a kind of misplaced aggression, in my opinion. That perspective seems to forget for just long enough that app success is a buzz phenomenon...the developers should WANT to make sure that people who've already purchased apps are still able to use and advertise their software. They simply cannot use the Star Trek sequel bs that was in the article as an example. If the app is worth buying again, people will buy it again if necessary. Don't attack customers when it's clear that this isn't the case with novelty applications.
I am in agreement with jtblackford and that is to charge a lesser fee if it is more than .99cents for a full OS number upgrade. But for those who have paid already or make it a limited time deal after the release of said new OS. In other words: I am willing to pay and would allocate the money for it. I have an app that changed the way the UI is but they didn't charge, they made it an incremental upgrade.
There are those like me who bought the full-version of apps for free, I don't remember all of which I did, but I believe I will pay for the upgrade, but I will have to see.
I think it is a complicated question. If Apples redesign of the IOS (which a lot of people love to hate or hate to love) causes developers to rework there Apps either because the upgrade "breaks" them or because they want to take advantage of new api's etc., or even to match the new esthetics of the os, can we fault the developers? We have all been asking for a refresh of IOS for sometime now and it is the reality of change and innovation. I agree with the thoughts of some that if you needed to repurchase apps that it may be a good time to look at other platforms. That being said it is Apple not the developers that will loose out in that case. We all have are favorite apps and more than likely we would search out there counterpart on another OS in there eco system made by the same developer. So from my perspective I realize that there is a cost to progress and change and I would happily pay for a refresh of an App that provided new features and takes advantages of changes to the OS, that better my experience or make my life easier. However I would not repurchase an app just because it changes its esthetics to match the OS.
on the fence. i think tweaking an app to run smooth on ios7 should if possible be free for existing users, if we are expected to pay, it should be for features, not just tweaks. i doubt i will have to repurchase Angry Birds again, the developer will tweak to work on the new ios. a true Version 2 should feature new benefits, make the app better, not just make it run on a new ios.
Definitely, I support iOS developers. The whiners who are complaining about having to pay $.99 to update a handful of their favorite apps they use every day are just that, whiners and tightwads to boot. Go ahead and jump to Android, it would probably suit the misers better. I wouldn't update every single app I've downloaded in my entire life. That would be stupid.
No. I purposely punish developers who try to ruin the buy-once and love it forever model.
You punish developers for what? So you can buy one more XXL Big Mac meal?
So that I can buy other apps where the developers are committed to getting new customers, not milking old ones.
We use to buy software in boxes, it was a considered a finished and final product. Updates were usually sparse, if at all existent. If we take Microsoft as an example, we would wait years until the next office refresh came out, and then everyone would purchase the large update with a giant lump sum of money.
The same thing is happening, but the monetary amount and timeline that we're all use to has changed. Regular updates and maintenance are needed for software survive in our fast pace environment. So instead of paying larger amounts of money every few years, we're paying smaller amounts more frequently.
So to take the car analogy for another spin, instead of paying for a car, and not putting any money into it until it dies, you're paying for a car, and putting small amounts regularly to keep it running smoothly, or perhaps even to enhance it(add some rims, change up the stereo, tint some windows, paint job, body kit, tweak some ... okay getting carried away now).
So I'm happy to buy an Application again if I feel the developers are actually supporting their product properly. Obviously like in any market there are people trying to rip you off, and in those cases just turn your wallet away.
There would have to be substantial enhancements and not just cosmetic either.

All the whining about paying a few bucks for significant changes to an app are getting tiresome. There's never a shortage of the angry, cheap types, I guess.
Dear Developers, please don't get discouraged by the whiners--they're just a vocal minority. Thank you for all your hard work and making cool apps!
Understandable from both the users and developers viewpoint, though, I would also think that users who have previously purchased the apps should get some sort of a discount for purchasing an app the second time. As for me, if I love the app enough and I feel like I use it quite frequently I will gladly pay full price for it again.
Sent from the iMore App
It really depends. Do I have the option of using the old app? Or does the old app become un-usable when upgrading to iOS7? If I have the option of using the old app vs the new version, I would take it on a case-by-case basis.
BUT, if the old app becomes unusable, then I think the upgrade should be free. the customer has no option but upgrade to the newer iOS7 (yes I can stay behind, but then a lot of apps will become usable after awhile since they need to go to the latest version of iOS). Why should a paid app become unusable because of a system upgrade.
Just my 2 cents.
Why we have to pay again? It is competitive case. If an app wants to charge again probably I will use a substitute app or no use anything. Then it is an opportunity for competitors apps to gain customers. Apple could have a risk and loose more share against Android and also the apps that will charge again.
Make significant changes (I mean significant enough to call it a new app) and market it under a different name. Twitterific 2 or something. Continue updates for the original to preserve the functionality they paid you for and anybody who wants the new one can buy it.

Ex-mayor stands down over cuts
Last updated at 11:52, Thursday, 21 February 2013
A LONG-standing Copeland councillor handed in his resignation yesterday rather than be party to today's decision-making on swingeing budget cuts.
Norman Williams, 67, Labour councillor for Hensingham, has had a 49-year association with local government, the last 20 as a Copeland councillor.
He said yesterday: "I resigned this morning. I would have liked to make it to my 50 years, but I felt I could not sit in on that meeting and be a party to decisions that are destroying local government, however good or bad it is and that are going to affect this area dramatically, for the worse.
"I have tried to serve people to the best of my ability, never one to seek glory and I don't recall any failures, but I felt I could not take part in this. I don't want to be a perpetrator of these cuts.''
At today's council meeting closures of toilets, tourist information, threats to leisure facilities and a halt to some recycling are among a raft of measures expected to be rubber stamped.
Mr Williams, a great nephew of Lord Adams, and born at Keir Hardie Avenue, Cleator Moor, started his career as a civil engineer with the former Ennerdale Rural District Council back in 1963, thereafter working with councils at Hartlepool, Carlisle Borders UDC, Copeland Borough Council and County Highways.
He now hopes that ultimately he will not be replaced, his seat left vacant and that the three seats for Hensingham will become two.
"We don't need 51 councillors,'' he said.

Have your say
WE should all give great thanks to Mr Williams for all his years of public service and what a sad day that his conscience no longer allows him to be part of the Democracy he has so clearly cherished and valued being part of for nearly 50 years. I am sure that Copeland has lost one of it's greatest assets.We hear a lot of pontificating about what the Council should and should not do, in the weekly press and in every day life. Many people have many opinions, but few people are ready to take a more active role in public life. It takes little effort to have an opinion, but a lot of effort, hard work and dedication to put one's head above the parapet and be prepared to be judged in the eye of the public as part of a Democratic council and make principles a reality.I salute Mr Williams, I doubt we will see (no matter what we think of his opinions) the dedication to his office that we have.(I don't know Mr Williams - but I can imagine he has taken the decision to bow out nobly after a lot of though.)I hope it isn't the last we have heard of him.
I totally respect Mr Williams. A very dignified reason to resign and an example to many. I am shocked that a council that is tiny in comparison to others in the UK has 51 councillors. Let's look at this in perspective - a city the size of Preston in Lancashire only has 57. 51 Copeland does not need 51 Councillors, this is madness!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A man who confessed to killing an Alaska barista and multiple other people across the country died in his jail cell after slashing one of his wrists and using bedding material to strangle himself, Alaska State Troopers said Wednesday.
The state medical examiner hasn't determined which of those injuries was the primary cause of Israel Keyes' death, troopers said.
Keyes, who was found dead Sunday morning in his Anchorage cell, had cut his left wrist with a blade from a disposable razor that was imbedded in a pencil. He also used a rolled-up sheet to strangle himself, troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said.
"It was not a hanging," she said.
There was no sign that anyone else was involved in the Anchorage man's death, troopers said.
Crumpled, blood-soaked papers that appeared to have writing on them also were found in the cell, and have been turned over to the FBI.
However, Ipsen said the writing on the papers was illegible because of the blood. A call Wednesday to the FBI wasn't immediately returned.
Keyes was awaiting a March trial in the death of Samantha Koenig, 18. Authorities say he abducted Koenig in February from the Anchorage coffee stand where she worked.
Investigators say Keyes sexually assaulted Koenig and strangled her, then left her body in a shed outside his house while he went on a cruise. They say he dismembered the body when he returned two weeks later.
Those details and others released Tuesday by the FBI provided the most comprehensive account yet of Koenig's death at the hands of a man who confessed to the slaying and told authorities he had killed at least seven other people in the past decade.
The FBI said in a statement that it released the information "both to fully explain the courage and resolve Samantha displayed in the final hours of her life, as well as in the hopes that the release of additional details will help investigations of other murders committed by Israel Keyes."
Once home from his cruise, Keyes tied up Koenig and posed her body to make it look like she was still alive. He then took a Polaroid of her with a newspaper dated Feb. 13 – 12 days after her abduction, according to the FBI.
Keyes made a photocopy of the picture and typed a ransom note demanding $30,000 from Koenig's family on the back of it. He then sent a text message to Koenig's boyfriend on her cellphone with directions to where he'd left the note at a local dog park.
Keyes, 34, dismembered Koenig's body and disposed of the remains in a frozen lake north of Anchorage after he cut a hole in the ice with a chain saw, authorities said.
He was arrested in March in Texas, after using Koenig's stolen debit card at ATMs there and in Alaska, Arizona and New Mexico. He was facing a March trial in Koenig's death.
After his arrest, Keyes confessed to killing Koenig and at least seven others. His other known victims were Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex, Vt., who disappeared in June 2011. Keyes told authorities he also sexually assaulted and strangled Lorraine Currier. The couple's bodies have not been found.
Koenig's body was recovered from the lake in April after Keyes told authorities of its location.
Keyes didn't identify his other victims or say where their remains were, other than to say four were killed in Washington state and one was killed on the East Coast, with the body disposed of in New York.
Keyes had lived in Washington state and had property in upstate New York. He traveled extensively in the U.S., landing at one location and targeting victims randomly hundreds of miles away, investigators said. He had never seen Koenig before, but chose the coffee stand because of its location and because it stayed open later than other stands.
Keyes told authorities he robbed several banks and used money he made as a general contractor to pay for his travel.

Large enough to see where all your shots are hitting, which makes sighting in a new scope easy, P/U several so you have on hand.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:If you buy a new or used rifle or hand gun, and you want to sight in correctly this is a must have item.

By ernest from USA on 2010-02-14 12:32:44Things I liked:Waterproof. High contrast ink. Not really cheap at a buck each, especially when they're just more landfill waste.
Things I would have changed:Offer a metric (or combined) version on coated paper for 1/4 the price.
What others should know:Should be useful for sighting in a scope, but really only if your natural estimation of small distances is poor. Will not purchase again.

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.
108 Reviews for Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
My family called this 'califlower candy,' and it was gone before I was ready! Yum!
I don't think I'll ever make cauliflower any other way! It was soooo good and I hate veggies!
Be advised: the cheese will make it stick! glad I used aluminum foil, I ended up having to SCRAPE a good half of it off.
That said, it is pretty good! nice combination--the parmesan and the balsamic.

My baby has been on Similac's neosure (preemie formula) and someone who had twin preemies gave me 6 cans of Enfamil's preemie formula, enfacare. Are they the same thing? Someone told me they are the same thing. It would be great if we could use these cans as it's a savings of $90.
My baby is 8 months old (4.5 months adjusted). She eats great... breastfeeds too.

Cables por vida.
If you think that you're the last mechanical holdout, we assure you that you're not alone. Even in the face of precise, electronic adversity, we find that cables still have as much to offer as wires. And while we hate to gloat, the Shimano Dura-Ace FD-9000 11-Speed Front Derailleur proves us right.
To respond to the ever-growing popularity of the Di2 front derailleur, Shimano made some drastic revisions to the overall design of the FD-9000. To start, we should explain Dura-Ace 9000's shifting goal -- easier action with a shorter stroke at the lever. To achieve this, a multi-part strategy had to be developed. First, Shimano had to revise the actuation ratio -- easier said than done. By standard, Shimano has operated on a variable ratio. This means that the ratio between a unit of shifted cable and its measured movement of a derailleur is varied throughout the gear range. As Shimano sees it, every gear jump is different, and requires a variance in actuation. However, to minimize the stroke effort, the variable ratio had to be lessened. This required a replacement of the leverage points on the front derailleur's body. You'll notice that FD-9000 now has a heightened profile with the leverage point at the top of the body. The enlarged pull arm creates more leverage, and this strengthens the pull, eases the actuation, and thus lessens the shift stroke.
All in all, Shimano claims that the new derailleur system creates a 43% reduction in shifting effort over 7900 at the lever. And to round things off in the efficiency department, the FD-9000 is pulled by Shimano's proprietary, polymer-coated shift cable. Shimano's new cable nearly eliminates mechanical drag, and further enhances shift accuracy. Altogether, the minimization of stroke and required effort creates a shifting experience on-par with the accuracy found in Di2 systems. 9000 guarantees predictability and ease across the shifting range, and to accommodate for FC-9000's 55 tooth chainring capacity, Shimano reintroduced its micro-trim system. In this iteration, it works opposite to prior generations, in that the trim moves outward for wide-open, cross-chain compatibility.
The Shimano Dura-Ace FD-9000 11-Speed Front Derailleur is available in one color and as either a braze-on or clamp. The clamp is offered in both a 31.8mm/28.6mm or 34.9mm clamp diameter. Please note that the FD-9000 is intended for use with the Dura-Ace 9000 component group.

Customer Reviews for Large Windows Cellular 3/4" Pleat
"Fabulous look"
By SuzyQ from Oregon coast
These blinds are wonderful. Easy to operate and look great. Cost was much less than other places I shopped. A little difficult to install (instructions could be improved, we called twice for help). Other than that, we are very pleased.View this product
"Room Darkening Blinds"
By I love blinds from Houston, TX
These are FANTASTIC!! I did not install myself, so I can't say how hard they were to install, but they do the job that I intended which is to keep the hot evening sun out of the room. Also, gives more space in the room than traditional curtains. I've recommended to all my friends with sliding glass doors--these are simply great!View this product

I won't post spoilers but holy crap was it epic!!!
I won't post spoilers but holy crap was it epic!!!
I link would be nice, please, I forgot how early this event was.
That was a pretty solid main for sure. Had a bit of everything. One crazy call from a ref I know that. Won't spoil anything, but it is def worth a watch. UFC.tv worked great too btw. Had no problems, and the stream was really clear. Time to browse the fight library me thinks. Def taking advantage of this free trial.
Fuckin crazy fight fight pass owns I love it.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
They have got to sort out the Fight Pass here in the UK. We seem to be the only major market to have been skipped over, although the event is still available on TV this evening. Gotta put it off until then (although I have seen the results!)
Favourite Fighters: A. Silva, Velasquez, Swanson, Bisping, W. Silva, Barnett, Faber, Dos Santos, Manuwa, McCall, Pickett & Poirier
Least-Favourite Fighters: Story, Sylvia, Browne & Lentz
0-1 on sig bets.
That fucking Hyun Gyu Lim is a tough motha! I can't wait to see more of him. he's gonna be a problem for a lot of Welters if he can fix a few holes. I'd love to see him fight Matt Brown. that would be a war!
Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!
"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee

Sunday morning you'll have a few hours to relax and rest up for the day.
That afternoon we will leave the city for a half-day tour of the Royal Palace in Godollo, a royal residence that many have referred to as the Hungarian Versailles. Situated in the center of the property in Godollo, this architectural wonder features a Grand Hall, richly painted rooms, red marble bath, conservatory, and baroque theater. The largest baroque palace in Hungary, the Royal Palace served as the home of Emperor Franz Josef I and his legendarily beautiful wife Elizabeth, known as Sissi, from 1867-1916.
Following the half-day tour, we'll convene for a special dinner, courtesy of Greg and Polly Dell'Omo.
Included meals: breakfast, dinner
