Tredis Var	Posted - 2008.06.18 19:05:00 - [1] I can buy 2x 30day GTCs for $29.90. Why would I want to buy a 60day GTC for $34.99. DUH.

Jim Pooley Circus Fantastique	Posted - 2008.06.18 19:08:00 - [7] This has been discussed many times already, but in short, weak dollar means CCP made less money and couldn't afford to supply Oveur with his usual intake of Bree. Oh, and wasting money on some crappy fishtank. ------------------------------------------ Mines a Pint of Large

Taedrin Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.06.18 19:12:00 - [10] United States is in the middle of an economic depression/recession, so the dollar is weakening. As a result, the prices of things that depend on the US dollar are going to get more expensive. CCP is probably just trying to hold out on raising US subscription prices for as long as possible (or is waiting for Blizzard to do so first).

DubanFP Four Rings Souls of Vengeance	Posted - 2008.06.18 20:27:00 - [17] Edited by: DubanFP on 18/06/2008 20:27:36 I'm not angry that they raised the price. I'm **ed that CCP had the gall to cover it up by saying "oh we're just changing the timecodes around, 60 days is better ". If they just said "we're raising the prices" then it's "ok, do what you have to with the changing market". I'm rather ed because up until I heard about that I thought CCP was the one company that wouldn't try to pull ** like that. _______________ ReiAyanami> We bring you tidings of AARRRRRRRRR

This is why free trade blows ass. The US is hemoraging money and the rest of the world gets to suffer higher prices. And they wonder why people fly planes into buildings. Are you a teen-ager or something? What is wrong with you? I am not going to get into a debate about "people flying planes into buildings" - but everything is not black & white, and two-dimensional. I think one of things you should think about is the aspects of the Western World and its effect on other populations of Earth, and how certain country is seen as a symbol of the West and as such a primary target. Also, might want to think about Great Britain, and the expansionist politics that had flown from there in the last century, and things like colonialism and what the "Empire" had to suffer after it abolished all of its colonies. Just look at history in general. We may not agree withe the politics of many of our governments, but at least we have a choice not to agree and elect someone better, some other people have no choice in the matter, and are often executed for simple show of dissent to an imaginary religions figures, or for being a homosexual, or *******, or transgendered, or for not honoring their parents properly, or disagreeing to marry a man who is 70 years older than them, or for being raped and then, because there are no three witnesses of proper respect the rapist goes free and woman is punished again. Everything is not black and white, as I said above, and you might want to show consideration and respect, and not use something as horrible as the attacks on 9/11 to justify idiotic forum posts. Edit: What is wrong with the word Lesb(i)an? Did the filter go nuts?

Scoop de'Woop X Bane X Vanguard.	Posted - 2008.06.18 20:54:00 - [24] Originally by: annoing Excuse my stupidity, but are the 90 day cards still available? Only while they last. For example, Shattered Crystal just sent out an email to affiliates that they would be selling the 30 and 90 day codes until they ran out but would only have 60 day codes after that.

DUH. 30 day GTCs are being phased out. The new GTCs cost more now. CCP hates you. Forgo all rational reasoning presented by fellow forum posters, and even things said by CCP themselves. Even forgo any of the whines, complaints and arguments against this price hike. They hate YOU. They want to cause you grief, pain, suffering, and other litany of other perverse afflictions. __________________________________________________ Currently Playing: Trolls from Outer Space Current Equipment: VISAcard chain mail, +2 Amulet of Epic Whine.

Hungry Hippo	Posted - 2008.06.18 23:13:00 - [29] It is a little odd that the 90 day gtc's are only $4 more than 60 day gtc's. I guess people should buy the 90 day cards before they run out. Looks like they are raising the price by quite a bit.
Esmelle Fandall	Posted - 2008.06.18 23:15:00 - [30] The only thing that's really dumb about it is that GTCs cost more than credit card payments. Why spend the time and effort buying GTCs when you can just use a credit card? (apart from the whole "method of selling/buying isk, while still paying CCP" bit)

EnslaverOfMinmatar Yarsk Hunters DeaDSpace Coalition	Posted - 2008.06.18 23:33:00 - [31] Originally by: Esmelle Fandall The only thing that's really dumb about it is that GTCs cost more than credit card payments. Why spend the time and effort buying GTCs when you can just use a credit card? (apart from the whole "method of selling/buying isk, while still paying CCP" bit) Can you pay for just 1 month with a cc? With gtc you can set a really long skill on an alt and don't pay for a month.
Blind Man Point Blank Carebears	Posted - 2008.06.18 23:34:00 - [32] just use a credit card..? don't see the issue or any reason to actually buy a GTC other than to sell for isk. ╟

noessohhss	Posted - 2008.06.18 23:40:00 - [34] Gee funny that nobody remembers when the dollar dwarfed other currency's to the point you could build something in Germany, Japan, Taiwan or China and sail it around the world 3 times and still sell it in the United States cheaper then it could be built there. I wonder if the dollar will fall far enough for the United States to actually go back to manufacturing I'd say more but I feel another cli.....
Del Narveux Dukes of Hazard	Posted - 2008.06.19 00:11:00 - [35] Epic suggestion: maybe it has to do with the extra costs associated with processing all the GTCs instead of any particular economic trend? Since $15/month is a figure most MMOGs use for conformity rather than any particular financial requirement, assuming changes are based on currency fluctuations seems a bit disingenuous. Glad to see CSMs will be raising the issue, though. _________________ [IMAGE REMOVED] -- aka Cpt Bogus -- Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?
Jinx Barker GFB Scientific	Posted - 2008.06.19 00:14:00 - [36] Originally by: noessohhss I wonder if the dollar will fall far enough for the United States to actually go back to manufacturing Blasphemy! We even outsourced the DOD stuff to China, because it was cheaper to build critical and secret weapon components in China - against whom those said components might be used, should there be a reason to - than have them built in the USA. Talk about idiocy. The entire country suffered a lobotomy 8 years ago, and we will continue to pay for these last 8 years with the lives and generations of the next 25.

CCP Mitnal C C P	Posted - 2008.06.19 01:21:00 - [38] Cleaned. Please keep the references to terrorist activities out of the thread. Mitnal Community Representative CCP Games, EVE Online Email / Netfang

Athena Tarsis	Posted - 2008.06.19 01:37:00 - [39] Um. That's still cheaper than the monthly subscription rate (19.95 * 2 == 39.90) In any event, it's still quite a value for 60 days worth of entertainment. It's about 8.3 American pennies a day more than before.

Please keep the references to terrorist activities out of the thread. does this statement also include rabid,honorless,disgraceful and futile acts of terrorism committed by diseased and lost mimtards. Also their terrorist organizations? If so then you may be hearing from the "lawyers" of the Amarr Navy

Del Narveux Dukes of Hazard	Posted - 2008.06.19 02:16:00 - [41] Originally by: Athena Tarsis Um. That's still cheaper than the monthly subscription rate (19.95 * 2 == 39.90) Uhh, the monthly sub rate is $14.95, USD or Euro. Its pretty much industry standard, to the point that a lot of MMOGs dont even list their sub rates anymore as its just assumed to be 15 bucks a month plus some discounted long-term contracts. _________________ [IMAGE REMOVED] -- aka Cpt Bogus -- Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?
Cunny	Posted - 2008.06.19 03:05:00 - [42] Expect the ISK-exchange rate for you 60-day cards to skyrocket once the 30 and 90 day cards are all gone, thereby inadvertently uncapping the GTC market. 500m for 60-day GTCs, ahoy.
Kusatta	Posted - 2008.06.19 03:26:00 - [43] It's $33.99 where I get them....
