Get it? ITS EXPENSIVE!

I'm gonna pay, thats cool with me. It is only 10$.

But, I think it is unfair to charge for the game AND to play it,
especially if you don't like it. They make you pay for the
game, and they give you a free month, in case you don't
like it, but you still spent 50$.

I think it should be one or the other, not both. Like, give
away the software for download, but charge money each
month, or at least lower the price of the software to..
say.. 20$ or 20$. I think that would be fair enough.

well said Jollygiant!

I paid $50 for Unreal Tournament and I didn't like it. It didn't matter that the online play was free, since I didn't like it and I was out of the money either way. You get a free month to appraise whether you like planetside or not, and I think that is plenty of time for your money. People regularly pay $50 dollars for much less than one month of gaming. If you want to continue, though, that is when you have to start paying for the resources you are consuming.

It is actually a lot less expensive than people make it out to be.

Everquest runs me something in the area of $150 per year. Most normal games that you buy, cost about $45, and give maybe a few weeks of enjoyable playtime. Then you need to go get another. By paying to play everquest, instead of getting a shiny new box 1-3 times per month, I'm actually saving myself in the area of $400-1000 per year. Exact amount varies substantially depending on just how hard-core of a gamer you are, of course.

Do you guys have any idea how much the bandwidth costs to host this many people. look it up before you post. Its incredable

[Hellsfire123]

Christ, you guys are worried about 12 bucks a month. Cant wait to see when you get cars, or a mortgage. Average monthly payment for a beginning driver (under 25) is $150 a month. I can almost guarantee that those who dont really worry about the monthly cost have similar payments, while those who complain are still living off their parents.

[BUGGER]

Yea, so if ya got car payments, plus electric, phone, gas, all that other shit, ya dont really wana pay just for enjoyment when all your monthly bills are just for keeepin a roof over your head. 12 bucks for gaming is criticle if ya got bunch of other payments sitting over your head....



Tho i run money off my parents.....so i dont care . $12.95 is a easy charge.

[Hellsfire123]

Lol, if youve only got 12 bucks after bills you dont belong on your computer.

And if anyone still has problems paying the monthly rate, take alook outside. Its spring. And with spring comes garden work. I know you all have neighbors who are to lazy to do it themselves, so why dont you do it for them. Simple, yet effective way to get the money you need, and more, for your monthly gaming.

Tell that to my mom.........dont guess where she gets her money (*cough*parents still*cough*).....thats also why we dont got DSL.....and my mom wants to buy a new tv..... (GOD DAMNIT WE ONLY GET 10 FUCKING CHANNELS!!!!!!!!!)...........make it even better....she would get Direct tv, but no dsl........wtf, they both cost the same damn money (altho we get more channels with Dtv, she could d/l all here american idol crap really fast with dsl)........:o its sad how this household works.




And my neighbors are nearly 2 mile away from me.....(me on mts.)

[Hellsfire123]

Lol, get cable. Still get alot of channles, plus for just alittle bit extra you get a BB connection. 2 miles really isnt far, thats about 5 minutes biking or 20 minutes jogging/walking. Most likely youll only do it twice a month, and it would be well worth it (Extra money could go towards Cable modem)

[BUGGER]

well......when i mean 2 miles from me neigbors....i also mean 2 miles from cable.......

we dont get cable all the way up here.........so satilight would be like the only conection we could get other than dsl.....well also thats why we dont got Dtv....damn trees..... I'd save money for dsl......or hope that the cable dudes, or extend the line to up here.....
