Tell her that the monthly fee goes towards upgrades, improvements, and continued support. So instead of paying a one time charge and getting a pretty stationary game that wont do anything else, you get a game that evolves all the time. New vehicles, new lands to explore, maybe even a new empire one day. The new things never stop, and thats why games like everquest have been around for years and will be around longer than most games released this year. Planetside will be the same way.

For the price of a movie ticket you can play a game that never stops evolving, for as long as you want.

Well, you answered your own question.

I played Everquest for years. I would go 6 months or more without buying a new game.

Here is a suggestion you might not like:
Its only going to be 10-15 dollars. There are lots of ways to come up with 15 dollars a month. I used to pay some kid 15 dollars to cut my grass.

It's like getting new game everymonth.

You will stay home more, and go out less by playing a game like this. Thus negating many of your oppurtunities to get in trouble.

Games like this teach leadership and communication.

One month of this game is cheaper than one trip to the movies.

If you buy this game, you won't have time to play another game for a long time. Thus, you won't be spending 50 bucks every month on new games, but just 10 a month on one game.

It's highly regulated, so you're less likely to be subject to questionable material.

"I really need to get this game" - You just realized that it's a game and you don't *need* it.

You're getting a job and a bank account with in the next month. With your lovely bank account you can get a debit card which acts like a check. This debit card can be used to pre order the game. Once it is out, I am sure they will have cards in the store you can buy, to purchase alotments of game time.

Don't make your mom pay for the game. Do it yourself, show her your responsable.

tell her to bake u a cake... ignore that bad advice

Ask if u can do more chors around the house to make some money. Get good grades too that is probauly good cuz then your parents won't hate u and they could be more leanent... maybe that just applies for mine.

OR buy a gun grab a dog and say if they won't pay it for u then you'll shoot the dog

Getting $15 a month is easy. Not having a computer, and wanting this game is much harder. (Not that that last statement applies to me though, I have a job, and my own place, man I'm broke....) Selling news papers, having a paper route, cutting grass, washing cars (My friend detailed cars for 2 years and bought a Porsha 914 when he turned 16). I'm getting kind-of up set about how lazzy you are now. Damn kids these days, when I was a kid....

[Fire_Monkey]

Yeah usually I just argue with my parents for a couple months and then they give in, but i pay with my own money... I get 20 bucks a month and 10/15 will go to PS so just pay for it with your own money.

[Moloch]

prpb is, around where I live, before I moved here kids were lazy so there arn't any opportunities for me to earn money at 14. I used to live in NYC, there I could do stuff, but everyone gets their grass cut by their own kids or by mexicans for minimum wage and such. I prob won't get PSU until I'm 16 so I can work at this sandwhich place.

[Bighoss]

I use to live in Greenwich where we had workers for everything, we moved to maine and there isn't anyone like that so I have to do everything but I like it cuz I get payed. This summer will be fun I get to take down this barn on our property gonna get a ton of money for it too !

[Sputty]

Tell her to crawl out of her hole and notice that it isn;t the 1950s anymore and that things change. PAY FOR TV?!?!?!WHAT?!?!?!MORE CHANNELS?!?!?BLAH!....

Nicely said....bravo! Listen to this advice, she can't say no!!

[Sputty]

Logically she cant, but she will still say no. I hope you realise that. It's just how too many people think...Hmm, he's given good reasons, arguments that I can't defend against so...No, he won't be getting the thing that costs very little.

[TGF NightHawk]

I'm sure if she sees the effort in him trying, they would have no choice...assuming he will actually try! Wouldn't hurt to buy her a bouquet of roses too!

1- It encourage getting a education so you can get a job to pay for it
2- Because of the good/mature people you will be hanging with in a pay to play game will give you a good influence on your personality
3- It'll keep you indoor and away from drug

[Sputty]

But if I were to do drugs I'd do them indoors..
