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?
    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

    Look at what I'm saying. I'm not complaining about the price. I'm complaining about how it is set up. Instead of JUST PAYING FOR A BASIC ACCOUNT and getting 1 free character, we have to go through 2 different payment types by buying 1 account and 1 character, which is over complicating things on an already messed up payment system.


    Again, it would more simple to just set it up as "Basic account: 1 Account and 1 character= $price"

    Instead, they have it as "Basic account:$price." Next option "1character:$price"

    Just like at the game's release, they have too many screens/menus and too much complication for something so easy.

    in the end it comes down to 1 thing
    they are japanese
    we are american
    we like prices up front and in our faces, not "broken down"

    and thats where you have a problem
