This a great idea, but honestly, a 30$ guide would scare me away. I would be on Google searching for "Spritzo's Minecraft Guide torrent" faster than you can say pirate. I believe that a price range from 10$-15$ would be more acceptable?

A bit more reasonable, but there is still the problem of the guide being about the same price as the game. I know this sounds a bit harsh, but it is a rip-off to pay this much money for such a guide. I would much rather pay for something that actually affects the game, such as the aether mod, toomanyitems, and singleplayercommands, all of which are free.

Think about this.

Say you wanted to buy a strategy guide for some game, like Pokemon or something (they have awesome strategy guides). Which would you choose?

A $7.99 Guide -OR- A $29.99 Guide

You would want the $7.99 guide, but why?

It's cheaper.

But why is it cheaper?

The content of the guide is lacking. It's more of a "Getting Started" or a "Basics" guide.

The $29.99 guide is everything - items, strategies, tips, basics, extra content, etc. etc.

This is point I am trying to make with the price I am setting. If the price of the guide is set low, the guide itself will be perceived as a low value item. Meaning the content of the guide will be somewhat "meh" in terms of description and helpfulness. Setting the price higher will make the guide seem more valuable, meaning the content will be worth a lot more.

That being said, you could also say "but what if you set the price high to make us think that the guide will be good?" Trust me, that is not going to happen. Just to give you an idea of what I already have typed up - I'm up to 42 pages and I haven't even started talking about the blocks/items found in the game OR any strategies, tips, etc.


AND FINALLY...I have a tumblr

I like the idea but there are several complete works like this that cost next to nothing.

There are many apps which provide the same thing for 99 cents or even free. I'm not going to buy this, no offense, just because I already know everything about minecraft. :P

'nuff said.

[meepers]

yes i agree...too much money! But i can just go on wiki and do this all for free!

Take a look at my original post. I have revised it and have decided to make a different guide strictly focusing on multiplayer gameplay of Minecraft. Thanks for the feedback earlier, and please tell me what you think about these changes.

I like that idea, you could go into more detail in certain subjects.

$9.99 is better than $30, but even more people would buy it if it was $5.

I'm personally partial to the 'pay what you wish' model. More people get access (more advertising), and a good product will earn more from many of the donors, who feel your guide is worth more, or feel more gratitude for its creation.
