    5-7 sound scool to me, though Im willing to pay full price as I'm having a lot of fun in the game already =).

    Whatever the case maybe, SE will be making money.

    If SE Charged 12.99 with only about 3k subs in total they would get: $39,000
    If SE Charged 6.99 with only 5k Subs they would get: $35,000

    They would lose 4k a month out of the deal but still retain there playerbase since 7 bucks isn't much of a big deal to most people.

    Either way SE looks at it.. its pretty much a Toss up, They could Charge 12.99 for 3k subs Merge the Servers Temporarily till like Patch 1.22 hits then increase the servers again, because by that point, the game " to people ( Probably that is) will consider it close to a full game ( maybe).

    I think the elasticity of demand for this product is such that they'd get more than 5k subs with a price of $6.99. I'm basing this on no hard evidence whatsoever, just my gut instinct.

    I think at $4.99, the "less than 5 bucks" appeal would be pretty strong.

    Well 6.50 is half of 13. People say this is a "half completed game" Yoshi-p said this game is @ 50% completion when 1.19 was Launch so we be even closer to that mark when 1.20 launches before the billing Cycle.

    So if any Compromise were to happen, I say 7 bucks which is a little over half the price ( but the game will be over half come 1.20), Which sounds reasonable, for the people that are concerned for " Bang for the buck" statement.
