Kylco Cotam Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I have a feeling that it will depend on how popular the games gonna be prices may change for one to another over time because the more ppl playing the more servers are gonna be needed and so will money so prices may vary.

Ewok Hunter Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 the key is working well, a few people won't cause too much lag, past the # of people required to be able to pay enough to maitain the basic servers they proably don't need the full $10 to keep up each additional person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylco Cotam Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Thats probly true but you cant be positive i mean this stuff can be pritty expencive i mean we dont know and plus you have to remember these companies r alwasy looking to make a huge profit and thats put aside from all the expences of making the game from employees to materials it all adds up.

Ewok Hunter Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 the actors only get hilts with colored sticks to use for the movie, what do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12thMonkey Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 $10 sounds like the highest price i am willing to pay cos i do understand the costs of running the game online. I just hope that it will be $10 not £10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Hunter Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 well, I checked and sony online entertainment came up at verant.com, so it assume that they're the same company. anyway their mailing contact address is in San Diego, CA. I livein the Suburbs near San Diego, and I have never noticed too many people paying with British currency arround here. so yes, it will proabably be in $s. *see a nice, logical explanition why it isn't going to be pounds, not flaming;)* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 For everyone comparing the amount of subscribers in EQ and UO and SWG; there's one REALLY big difference: When UO was released, there was one MMORPG on the market. When EQ was released, there were two. When SWG arrives, hopefully this autumn, there will be dozens. And within one year, over a hundred. Most will crash and burn pretty bad, yes, but they will still take away a lot of subscribers. One million players? Yes, and santa's my uncle!

Jan Gaarni Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Well, lets look at it this way, Set. UO isn't SW. EQ isn't SW. Hell, nothing out there is Star Wars. But yeah, seriously, 1 million seems alittle too much, even for a Star Wars game. EDIT: Errr, what am I replying to again? If I'm not making sense, just ignore me here.

You can say THAT again, mr. Garrisson! I'm not the best sensemaker around here, either. But thinking that every SW fan on earth will play a PC game because, well, it's about SW, is very naive.

Jan Gaarni Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Ah, then I was replying to the right thing. And that first part was a joke. 1 million seems abit too much to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Hunter Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Set, are you saying that yoda stories didn't break any selling records, the blasphamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Not even it's incredible cuteness made it a big seller, strangely not. I mean, who could NOT play a game with a wobbling head running around, pretending to be Luke? Aaaaaww.... (Though, the ewoks in that game were cute fo' reel!)

"thA dekMan" Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 hmz well i would obviously perfer to play $10. but thats not gonna happen so it will prolly be around $15. But thats USD... and I'm from CANADA so yeah! 20-25 dollars yeah! That sucks lol. I hope they take other countries into consideration because that can spell a lot for people from say, new zealand (i think.) And there will be so many people, they wouldn't really need it high because they will be making tons because of all the costumers. I just hope they don't think "oh we have so many people, lets make it higher and we will make more and if people can't pay to bad!" They did say that they it would be competitively priced with other online games. But does this mean they will make it lower, so more people want to play it instead of others cuz its cheaper... or just the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok Hunter Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 tsk, tsk dek;) anyway, now that i's back does anyone have any info on how the other MMORPGS are priced to other coutries? just $10 Us converted to the other form of currency?

"thA dekMan" Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 yea I kno man, I looked at the date and I thought oh what the hell, its better than starting a new topic lol. It was like 3 or 4 threads down lol. Its not my fault no one posts personally i think they it should be $15 bucks in EVERY country,in there currency. Its not like we make more money up in canada than you guys do in america to make up for our crappy dollar. Its not our fault our dollar sucks.

Ewok Hunter Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 so in japan it would be arround the equvilent of 15 UC cents? i don't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"thA dekMan" Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 yea that wouldn't work, i just hope they take stuff like that into consideration when deciding pricing. Like they could charge canadians 15-16, because I mean its still the same, but in a country where there money isn't worth crap like yen... then it would be more.

ibballin Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 i think im willing to pay 10-15$ it seems fair and i think that can make them a big profit and be able to upgrade servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murashu Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I expect the price to be between $12.95-15.00. Online games have been charging $10+ for many years now and have huge followings. They have proven that people will pay well for a great game. I was spending $300+ a month for racing online back when we had to dial up long distance to boston, ma. Thankfully when T.E.N came out the prices dropped back to $9.95 but as many people witnessed, people will pay to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 300 a month for a game? That seems a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibballin Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 $300 a month:eek: is that US currency? thats a brand new console with games. and if you have consoles already thats a new video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
