I agree. I really like their pricing system. It's good from a marketing standpoint too. If you want to just try the game, it's $15 a month. If you want to play the game for a while, you pay only $12 a month (which is what most other MMOGs are now). I'm happy with their decision.

The problem is that you're being taken for a ride if you pay for a period longer than a month. Let's say you subscribe for a year, then you decide 3 months later that you REALLY don't like the game.

 

You're stuck. You paid for a full year up front, and now you can't get any money back. You will have paid for 9 months that are going to go to waste.

 

The $12 per month rate for subscribing for a year is not better for YOU....it's better for THEM :)

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It's sneaky, but it's smart :). It doesn't bother me though, because I always pay per year, even if I've never seen the game.

 

[Edit] Check this out. A lot of people aren't going to buy the game because of the monthly fee. Is it just me, or are they really dumb? I know, that's kind of close minded, but come on. Is 3 extra dollars a month going to kill you?

[Edit2] It BLOWS my mind. We've been saying since the beginning that this game would be $15 a month, and people act so surprised. Here's a quote from a person in Q's post:

 

haha LOL

no way..

its sad..Ive waited 2 years to play this and now I realize I cant...

$14.99!? No way man

 

::sigh:: Whatever. It's their loss for not listening to reasoning.

When we get some of the patches and updates no-one should complain about the billing. Bottom line is this:

 

If you can't afford $15.00 a month, don't play.

 

If you can afford $15.00 a month, but don't think the game is worth it, don't play.

 

If you just want to whine because the developers have decided to release against your superior judgement, don't play.

 

As for me I WILL PLAY!!!!!!:D
