Price Reduction =)

Without going into anything - I just want to give my two cents and say that I would be more than happy to support SE by paying a subscription fee. I can't wait for this game to evolve throughout the years ahead! Woohoo!

Now, that's not to say in the end it won't be just like dungeon finder. But the fact is that SE has a system in the pipes that will potentially allow you to play with your friends on other servers even on the same character. That's a better option than being lazy and just doing the half-assed option other MMO's do and force us to create new characters for it.

The abomination that was PlayOnline let you have friends on different servers. It would be a nice feature in the friends list to be able to not only see friends on different servers but also queue up a dungeon finder with them. I'm 100% for this.

ok...so..is it $5/180days or is it $8/180days? Because $36 extra a year will make the difference for me...

Someone broke it down earlier in the thread...

For 180 days:: 4.99 (to play game) + 3.00 (for 1 character/2 Retainers) = 7.99 * 6 Months

So for 180 days it will be: $47.94 every six months while we have this discount.

Which imo is a really good price, but I know others don't think that.

so...we're being charged for an account..AND a character? I thought we got 1 character slot for free? At least, that's what it said when I set up payment...which would mean it's only $4.99 * 6 months. If we're charged an additional character fee just to play as 1 character, that's dumb. Being charged for a character separately from an account (which we can't use without a character) is a really bad idea. Charging for additional characters, yeah, ok, fine, but....really? We can't seriously get charged for our 1 "free" slot...can we?


Edit: k...apparently we can be charged for a free slot...that's really really dumb...*sigh* but I guess $5 less a month isn't so bad...considering I am playing a Beta 2

they stated a 9.99 a month cost

thats 6.99 for the account and 3 for the character.

if you get a multi month plan, it makes it even cheaper per month(ends up being 8.99 and 7.99 per month based on how far ahead you pay)

yes, but why even charge for the 1st character? That makes things difficult because now you have to pay for an account AND a character, separately. A basic account should include 1 character. Otherwise, the account is useless.

you look too much into it

the cost is 9.99 a month

wether or not they say its 9.99 with 1 character free or 6.99 + 3 per character(1 character required)

its still the same price



just cuz you dont like the wording doesnt change what it is

you do realize you pay for them separately, right? You buy an account, then set up another payment option for characters...which is making things more difficult than it is. It should be "Basic account (Includes 1 free character slot) - $9.99/month, $7.99/6months,etc)" It would be much easier to set up in a payment page that is already difficult to manipulate.

i signed up on day 1...of course i know this

and it made sense to me back then too
since the advertised price was 12.99 back then, which was 9.99 + 3 per character



its simple math, it makes sense, people need to try seeing it for what it is, not for how they word it
