Overchargeing your Costumers who pay in €. Would you pay it if....

[Selzak]

Isn't this true of most/all video games?

There could be something to that, like costs on their end...but I'm not sure and I'd be irritated too.

[Eri]

Fact is though, the JP have it worse off, as they pay the highest subscription price...

Japanese Fees:

1,180円 are ACTUALLY 10.6 € and 15.2 $
(Eu Price 12.95€)

So yea proven u wrong right there.

European Fees are Highest.

We go the Maintances too.

ON TOP when they released the Game in EU they would charge $.
After a while they swiched to € resulting in about a ~30% -40% Price increase, for the same Service.

It's quite simple: the cost of doing business in the EU is higher than in the US. If you don't like it, complain to your MEP.

Congraz on the most weird comment ever.
You can't find FFXi in normal Shops so there ain't no Buisness. (Outside Online)

If the base Game is more expensive though yes thats fine.

If its a Pay-to-Play though there is no reson to charge someone more or less for the Same Services. (Not even the Same cause we had the Maints for Years)

Honestly if SE would tell u they would charge 18$ now you'd quit.

You know what at least EU players can Pay over C&B with giveing em CC info.

OH AND the contract we singed on relese was $ NOT € .
And they did not nocie on on swiching to €.

Im not complaing thu IM ASKING IF YOU WOULD PAY UP.

Before commenting on anything Read it.

If there is an exchange of money, there is business. And just because it's "online" doesn't mean it's free of legal obligations (e.g. taxes).

OH AND the contract we singed on relese was $ NOT € .
And they did not nocie on on swiching to €.

First off, the contract made no mention of the actual service fee.

Secondly, the contract states that S-E can change it without giving notice.

If its a Pay-to-Play though there is no reson to charge someone more or less for the Same Services.

Taxes.

[Eri]

Taxes.

LOL @ Taxes cuz there are none on this. Prove enought is that they charged in $ to begin with.

Everything you say is to justfy something wrong if you don't see that i can't help you.
Such a pitty.

Edit @ that.... checked the Original Instruction Booklet i got while starting.
States 12.95$ (USD) ! So mutch for the Fees were not mentioned.

Currency rates change, especially with recent events. It might be wrong now but it wasn't at one time.

[Eri]

Well up so SE who haven't checked the rates in 4-6 Years. If they are unable do it. Charge It so everyone in the game to pays in the same Currency. I'd pay Yen or Dollars or Euro don't care but at least charge everyone the same.

[Alhanelem]

You know how much work it is to keep up with exchange rates of all the different currencies tehy deal in? It's too much work to constantly adjust and update the price based on currency values (And, if it did, we'd ALL be paying more due to inflation- But SE's subscription price has remained constant.)

Price stability is very important.

[Eri]

With the new Payment system everyone in EU beside the Community in GB is Forced to pay € . They got their own currencys and their own Prices(For England). So this is retarded . They treat € like $ but not ￡!
As thu as : ￡ > € > 円 > $ in worth. Conclusion would be to LOWER the € Fee to 9.50€ at Least to make it Equal with the other ones mentioned.
Treating € as $ is the worst Idea ever.
Since no Com-rep can explain y either. Its quite Obivious that they dont know.
