Saiyan22 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I've never played a mmorpg before, or any game with a monthly fee, was never really worth it (before SWG of course) to me. just a quick question to those that have... are you limited to just paying by credit card? and do you have to sign up over the net or is there ussaully an order form in the box too? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absath Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 well it depends. its very likely that the only method will be credit cards. it took EQ over a year to come up with the store purchaseable game cards. it is possible that SWG will offer some sort of check payable service, like DAoC does I'm 99.9% sure that you sign up online. Why wouldn't you? you play the whole game online... -Abs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWB Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Payment will most likely be based on the popularity of the game. Obviously a credit card will be the default method, but if SWG proves to develop a big enough fan base, then perhaps time and effort will be put into in store vouchers.

setsuko Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I'd guess online signup, $11-13 a month, major creditcards (Mastercard, Visa, etc), and some % off the price if you sign up for several months. Thats how the 'Market' works by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 there was no set price last time I looked. But... all other major games lies in the range $10-13. People WILL pay at least that for SWG. If they can get away with their product at those prices, why settle for less (i.e. 6$)? After all, more players=more servers=bigger costs. So not every additional player is a complete win for them. I'm happy if they sell it at less than 15 bucks a month... (since AO was $13 a month, $15 is not an impossible guess. Unpleasant, but not impossible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 And there I was thinking I could afford 2 MMORPG's at the same time... SW:G and WOW... well I suppose WOW will just have to go and make room for starwars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bru Mithrakk Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 DAoC was $12 a month and £6 a month in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 And well, you often get away cheaper if you pay for 3 or 6 months at the same time, so the real cost is a little bit lower than the 'official month cost'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 That is up to the marketing folks. For comparason, here's the DAoC prices: 1 month: $13 3 months: $12/month 6 months: $11/month Most likely, something likely will be available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
