Stronghold 2 Message Board  

So guys why this trainer isn't also available for the public?Not really fair,I understand the "wait for a month or pay for it if you want it faster" but now you aren't even going to release a public vers.?

That's right, a select few trainers are reserved for members only indefinitely. Please support our site if you want to see more quality trainers produced in the future.

updated trainer for 1.4.1 posted --> Link

I don't want to sound like a jerk by saying the following, but someone needs to say it, and I'll probably be flamed because of it.

Not to be disrespectful of the work CH people do with the trainers, but it is a stupid idea to pay somebody just to get a trainer for a game. I've already paid $20 for Stronghold 2, I'm not going to pay another $X amount just to get a trainer. I see no logical reason why you want people to pay you for a trainer or a list of game cheats. "Support the Site" Sure. The only two sites out there that want people to pay them to get a list of cheats, a trainer, or to get rid of Ads, CheatHappens and CheatCC.

I have respect for the people that goto the trouble of making trainers and finding cheats for the games people play, but charging people to get said trainers is stupid. If a trainer has some 50+ options, then MAYBE it would be okay.

Trainers should be FREE, no matter how much "work" went into making it. People like me come to places like this to find trainers because we just don't have the knowledge to make them ourselves, and we expect to get high quality "products" for free since we already PAID for the game itself.

That being said, I hereby request that this trainer and all others like it to be made available to everyone.

My two cents, and probably my last post here, but it needed to be said.
NHI

I appreciate your opinion, but your logic doesn't make sense. We should work full time for you, for free, because you already paid the game company for the game? Perhaps you need to ring up the game company and ask for cheats or a trainer. It takes three of us working around the clock, FULL TIME to create and maintain all of the cheats and the website. This is our JOB. Not unlike a job that you might have. Do you go to work everday and say, "you know what? I'd like to work for free from now on"? It takes a lot of skill, time and money to create and update all of the cheats that we do each month. We created and released close to 100 custom trainers just in the past two months alone. No other group or individual even came close to that in the same amount of time. If we hadn't created trainers for some of these games (like this one for instance) then there would be no trainer, period. I don't think that asking a small fee so that we can actually continue to make and update the trainers and website is asking too much. Sorry if you feel otherwise.

But to answer your request, no, this trainer will not be made available to everyone and we will continue to create and release trainers for those members that do actually believe that we're working and creating a quality product worthy of their membership.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean any disrespect towards you or the work you do for us. I just didn't expect you to have trainers for your paying members only. I thought that the money you get from your paid members went towards the games you have to purchase to make the trainers and to keep CH up.

Maybe I was a little harsh with my first post and I apologize for that. But the way I see it, you are gamers and site owners. You have a paid membership so you can get support for the site and the money also goes towards the games and consoles needed for you to make trainers and find cheats for.

Being someone who used to make Modifications for games a lot, I understand the time and money that goes into such a project. The long hours and loss of sleep for the enjoyment of the public, etc... I just was not expecting to find a trainer for a game I enjoy playing and I go to download it and I find that it is for paying members only. Maybe I got a little upset at that fact. I apologize for that.

Maybe you could have all of your paid member only trainers and such given for free for a day or a week every so often. Just a thought really. I have several trainers you've made and they work perfectly and I love them, that's why I keep coming back here. I know your stuff is high quality and it actually WORKS. CH is one of the few places that I trust to have top notch trainers and lists of working cheats for the games I play.

People like myself, that find themselves with little or no money to support the work people like you do, get a little annoyed by the fact that there are some awesome trainers that we have to pay to get. Sure, maybe my logic is flawed, but I thought the money that your fine paying members give you went towards the site and getting the games you need in order to make trainers in the first place.

NHI

Thanks for the reply.

We try our best to balance our content between both our free and paying mmebers, that's why we release 99.9% of our content to the public after an initial waiting period. However, there are some trainers that take longer or are for older games and are special requests (like this one) that we reserve for our paying members only. It's a value added part of our membership.

When the site first started out our membership was about paying for the games and paying for the site. However, over time it's taken more and more time and work to keep the site constantly updated, keep up with all of the new games and patches coming out and then support our growing number of subscribers. You should see the amount of email we get each day with questions regarding trainers and such and each of them are answered personally. This has truly become a full time job for three of us and so part of the income we make from subscriptions goes towards supporting ourselves and our families. Otherwise we wouldn't have near enough time to put into the site and updates would be sporadic and support would be non-existant.

Anyway, I appreciate your comments and I hope you'll continue to visit the site (member or not).

I appreciate the work you do, and the fact that you do requests for trainers for older games. Another reason why I love CH.

Maybe one day (soon maybe?) you could set this trainer for the public for an hour or day...
