SO they aint cutting kids off from this game...... And anyways little kiddies and kids 10-15 normally like playing cs more cuz there aint as much thinking involved ... all the little kids will be about a game like this.... well i dont think thats true why the hel would they be confused about a gmae like this whats so confusing about it and wraith i know why we have to pay you don't need to post the link up on every post (not meening any disrespect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 I'm personally very fond of the monthly fee! And why you ask me? Well it guarantees me that they will be working on the game as long as they can in order to extend it's marketing life (ea, untill the game is no longer profitable) Which means that I can continiou (gah never get this word right, someone help me!) to get quality patches, fixes, updates, expansions for the next couple of years!

swediot=) Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 thats an excellent point but i never siad i was opposed to the idea of paying monthly because its not really that much its much less than a dollar aday if you put it in that perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylco Cotam Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 i read everything you all wrote and i dont think most of you really get why you have to pay per month. fist i want to note there not trying to keep younger players off that actually has nothing to do with it. locas arts needs to pay there server company for every pearson playing the game. look at it this way would you be able to go anline if you didnt have the internet? no you wouldnt and you have to pay 4 internet per moneth. What locas has to do is pay for the servers supporting the game others wise it would be slow as hell and crash all the time other people were saying wont they gem that money form the games sold? well my anwser is yes and no i figure the game will range from 50-60 american dollars that would have you cover cost of equipment sallerys and profit than what happens when people stop buying the game because everone has it they no longer make money but they have to keep spending it so you see they have to charge monthly others they fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Well i think Wraith already kinda stated that in the link but anyway I agree with you totally and Welcome back! Kylco. I hope to see you over at the role playing forums (they're pretty much dead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are wrong about the age here. My son started playing his first MMORPG at the age of 5. He played eq for 3 years and had 2 lvl 50 characters. Kids can learn games faster than most adults. And if it keeps my kid off the street and out of trouble, I have no problem paying for 2 accounts. We already pre-ordered 2 copies of SWG so the Bothan Ranger named Zardd you see on launch day will be played by an 8 year old kid and guarantee he will learn the game faster than alot of adults.

{POD} Kai Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Just think of it like this. Companies who make MMORPG's make the game, then they make you pay for it and then use the cash that YOU paid to produce new, better games! So you are keeping the games companies alive. (cough) and paying the programmers wages (cough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omne Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I already cancelled my EQ account...so, 5 months of not playing already saved the money to purchase the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trahern Valley Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 Doubt I could do that myself. Don't think I'm actually addicted to EverCrack, but it reminds me of far happier times, during which I played Bard's Tale II. It's the only fantasy game I play. I'm afraid the appeal of Warcraft III and Neverwinter Nights are lost on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
