# F2P and Customer Segmentation ● Free players can be introduced into the game as “flies” or “guardians”. These guardians will not provide any liquidity to the game. However, they can provide action and exist as potential paid customers in the future. ● Flies would be funded by the paid customers through a mechanic called “mercenaries”. ● A fly attacking any enemy location on behalf of a faction will gain some “tokens” as a reward. The tokens gained here will be minimal compared to the paid customers. ● These flies can get “privileged contract” items for fiat currencies and then increase their gains 10-fold.\ \ ● Amount of new “free” players will be limited through limited key drops. A user rate of X per hour should be determined after the final calculations --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
