ok this is an easy answer
eve charge an extra 5$ or Ç when upgrading to a full account.
this is a 1 time fee and has always existed.
to get around this problem quite simply upgrade by game time card for the first 2 months then pay by card.

Originally by: Blaster Fairy This is a discrimination! How come users from European countries pay Ç14.95 (EURO) and users from other countries - $14.95 (USD)? I've paid 14.95 USD until this month (only $19.** for new account). I didn't know that player's race, origin or location are the key parameters to form a price. You say that you need to apply VAT but I'm not sure that there are such high VAT of 30% in entire EU.
You've stated that you stop EVE Linux development, now you will rise taxes ... what to expect next?
Anyway I'll prepare a petition as soon as I can. I'm deeply insulted by your mail I received a minutes ago. Anyone must have equal rights and no one to be classified as black, white, american, european, muslum, christian or other type of discrimination elements.
The only thing CCP should be even remotely prejudiced against is pure, uneducated idiocy.
A perfect start would be removing your forum access to stop you spouting any more of this mindless purile tripe.

IIRC the explanation given in the many other threads on this subject was that the prices are determined by the costs of other MMOs in the area, not by the cost of MMOs in different parts of the world.
For Europeans, the going rate is Ç15, so that's what CCP charges for people there. For Americans, the going rate is $15, so that's what CCP charges for people there.
Get over it, you're essentially complaining because the value of your currency is too high, boo freaking hoo. |

It's simple. Americans pay less because we are your overlords. CCP rightly seeks to placate us with cheaper subscriptions, and puts the burden of difference upon you, our serfs, to pay.
That was simple, now wasn't it?

Just for the protocol.. VAT don`t exist from yesterday.. then how we were able to pay in dollars so far ? and suddenly we can`t ? it just smells like an excuse to charge us with some more money.. cause even the pseudo intelligent attempts for answers no one really said with 100% accuracy why so suddenly CCP invented that VAT thingie.. and where VAT was hiding so far ?!

For an uninformed American like me who doesn't know... what is VAT?
Basically it's a sales tax that is placed on all goods. As an example, the Swedish VAT is 25% on most goods, so if I buy something for 125 SEK, then 25 SEK would be VAT.
er, thats 31.25 SEK, or goats, or what ever

Originally by: Wacktopia Edited by: Wacktopia on 26/02/2009 17:27:07 This annoys me too. If the sub is $14.95 then it should be about Ç11 - Ç12 euro
1 U.S. dollar = 0.784313725 Euros
P.S This has nothing to do with race, I think you're barking up the wrong tree there mate.
You got it the wrong way round, the sub should be 19 to 20 dollars.

By paying in dollars, you were evading the VAT which I'm pretty certain is breaking the law. Over here in the US, tax evasion can get you into a LOT of trouble with the IRS, who have the power to freeze your checking/bank accounts and garnish wages. I'm sure that your country has similar entities with similar powers.
Anyways, CCP charges the same price that Blizzard does. If Blizzard ever raises their price, CCP will probably follow suit within a year.

Everyone who has explained this so far has gotten it wrong. The truth is illustrated on this image: http://squall.sfsu.edu/gif/jetstream_norhem_00.gif While you need to look carefully to see certain geopolitical boundaries, once you locate the U.S., Iceland, and Europe, you can see at a glance that all of the little arrows representing the jetstream lead directly from the U.S. to Iceland and then on to Europe. This means that money flows more easily from Americans to CCP's HQ in Iceland, whereas Euro have to travel against a strong headwind to reach the same destination. Because of this, CCP can't afford to reduce European prices based on the changing exchange rate, or they'd actually lose money due to the cost to get funds from Europe to Iceland.
(Or it could be Iceland's 24.5% VAT, but what do I know? Hey, all of the logical discussions relating to VAT and consistent pricing philosophy didn't work, so I thought I'd try something new.)

Please. CCP cannot constantly adjust the prices it charges for games to the international currency exchange. For you to suggest that they ought to do so is, quite frankly, ridiculous.
If you have a problem with this, there is a simple solution. Buy gametime cards from Shattered Crystal (or another third party) in US dollars. Use these to pay for eve.
