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.

14.99!!!!!!!!!!!! hell yes i was hoping it would be this price or lower............i heard those rumors about 20+ dollars for a monthly fee and i was starting to worry but yeah man this is a great price range

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

I have dicided that......I will be using the 1 free month as a test period for my connection........If my connection rules then i will go with the 6 month plan.....(so i am not dedicated.....and revolv my life around getting my moneys worth).........but if my connection sux........well then i will have to wait till i get a high speed connection..............and for all those who have been worried about me............i called about a job today......so "REAPER" dont wait up on your comp worrying about if i get to play or not.......thank you and good night.....;)
