you forget to mention your high eu taxes and youre not exchanging eur/usd youre exchanging eur/jpy

GBP is not also valued at a 1:1 ratio, they say on lodestone old basic service fee is £6.89/EUR 9.99 and one character is £2.10/EUR 3.00.

Discount is £4.79/EUR 6.99 and one character is £2.10/EUR 3.00 (KB has no euro sign, everyone fight brussles)

that makes £6.89 or EUR 9.99, because of how strong the GBP is against the euro and dollar.

I would imagine the current problems in the eurozone are to blame, if they can solve the problems and recover it will even out so europe and US are paying the same (thats a big IF, because we dont wanna bring our currency down helping the eurozone)

If they went by the same exchange rates they would have to change the price every month because of the nature of the stock market.

here is the image off the EU lodestone showing GBP and EUR are not on 1:1, I know EUR and USD are though




EDIT: current exhange rate makes
9.99 EUR = 977.874 JPY
9.99 USD = 768.980 JPY
6.89 GBP = 818.156 JPY

Enjoy your cheap game US ppl (i'm in UK btw)

It is a lot more complicated than that. I would go into the boring economic reasons, but that counter intuitive to my and your time. You don't pay the same price we do on a lot of products. But generally, it is the same price as we pay, just reflected in your currency. The price difference on this game is barley noticeable.

You should find out if there is a tax being placed on this game that you don't know of that is increases your price. That isn't controllable by neither SE or America. Sorry you feel like Americans are pulling a **** move on you, but I ensure you; we are not doing anything conspiratorial towards you.

I aren't saying anyone is doing anything, the exchange rate is why we pay more, and I know I pay VAT at 20% which puts the price up a bit,.but then there is the exchange rate which is the main reason, I said it before you are trying to twist my words making me look like the bad guy.

Exchange rates don't mean anything. You aren't paying in USD then JPY. Like I said, there is a reason why some places may pay more. Tariffs are a big reason some countries pay more. I would almost like to assume there is the "base" amount, the JPY as the standard for what they charge, and then SE adds on whatever it costs them to give the customer the service. There isn't any other plausible reason. It isn't like they throw darts on a board to figure out how much they are going to charge one currency over the other.

trade's not unified so your not getting unified payments, untils all currency is equal or there a world currency every place uses.
