Ihasn Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Just wondering how much people would be willing to pay a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 It will probably be in the range of $10-15 a month. That's judging by other online games. Also - WELCOME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Quasar Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Hmm... If one were to stop playing for, say, two months, would all the players profile and items still be retained during those two months w/o pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalgoth Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 That depends on the devs. Some games I believe will retain the character for a while, some won't. All up to the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudEhead Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 DAOC keeps chars for three months... i hope star wars does the same... won't be away that long in one go from it, but when exams are nearing, i might take a break each time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiMike Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Ok I make 4 dollars a week and have no other job for I am only 13 years old. I dont know how many older players there will be but the kids are ganna be broke and will have no extra spending money. 10 dollars seems unfair, who cares if the other games are like that. I think it should be 5 so it wont kill my money flow and other kids. Just to let you know, I make 16 dollars per month. Ok 16 - 10 = 6. Look at my spending money a mesliy 6 dollars, that sucks and I dont want to pay 10 dollars it just aint right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Sorry ObiMike, but these kinds of games are not aimed at the younger players, in any way. Both in how you play it (often requiring many hours to get something done, which is hard if you have a short attention span, or are not allowed to stay up all night, which is far too normal ), and the fact that good roleplaying is something that requires experience of living (just like theater). Since it is not aimed for the young, Verant pays little attention to them. After all, people with no money won't balance their budget. So, tough luck.

FunClown Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 I would say in the 10 - 12.95 range. If its anymore a lot of people are going to be turned off including me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds Risky Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 The most I'm willing to spend at the moment is $10. Anything over that seems a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norin Radd Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 $1.00 a year? Where did you hear that? That would be operating the servers at a loss of profit. I'm thinking that they will come out with a special pricing offer to introduce the game. The $15.00 a month is not even from an official source.

YourGod Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 why ask a question like this? you know evryone will want to pay the least money possible, but no one will end up payin less than $10 a month most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalorian iTi Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 well i just looked at the FAQ on swgalaxies.net and it stated the it will most likely be 10$ a month:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian iTi Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 i dont really want to pay more than 10$, i mean look at it this way: There will be soo many people playing this game, more if the price is low, i mean just look at how many post are in the forums, i know that doesnt mean how many people are actually in here, and people tell friends about this game. SO IF THE PRICE IS SAY.......8$ thats not bad considering how many times they will get 8$ from so many ppl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybiggspr Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Is LucasArts nuts??? Do they really need to charge so much? I mean come on, there must be nearly a billion Star Wars fans out there. Probably about 83% of those fans have a computer, and probably 55% of THOSE fans probably have broadband. That leaves about 3 or 4 hundred MILLION people who are capable of buying this game. The game servers really cant cost 40 million dollars a year (or month for that matter) to run and operate. I think they will lose more if they charge soooooo much because not only do these people have to have a computer that can run this massive game, they need cable t.v., and not to forget the 30-40 bucks a month to have broadband!! Also, they need to pay the $74.99 (Canadian) just to own the game and a working serial no. Above all of that, they need about 20-30 hours a week of free time just to get there money's worth. It just seems........well, stupid. Thanks, I got a lot off my chest with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalgoth Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 no, they aren't nuts, because they will get the money. look at games like everquest. see how successful they are/were? sure, some people will be turned off by the monthly fee, but what the hell does lucasarts care? they will still get plenty of money. Sorry dude, but even if a million of your 4 million possible clients deny to buy this game, they'll still be making 30 million from your 3 million that will by the game. they're going to charge money, and that's just what it's going to be.

jaybiggspr Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Well thats exactly what I'm saying, Everquest, although very popular, does not even get close to the amount of subscribers that SWGalaxies will get. I mean come on, the graphics in that game are very outdated and so is the play mechanism. Therefore, they WONT need to charge as much as they did and STILL double or triple the profit that everquest has generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewok Hunter Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 EQ has bad graphics, what about UO. it is five years old and they cancelled the plans for coming out with a 3D sequel. instead they want more sprites. serriously, they can only increase the specs for an established game by small increments to aviod alienating existing users.
