Ya know, I am ok with it as well. Cause of something that I remembered...
Subscription Rates Increase
Read the letter to the EverQuest community from SOE President John Smedley.
Due to the increased costs of running the EverQuest game service, we will be increasing our subscription rates in June. Effective June 12, 2005, the new monthly subscription rate will be $14.99/month. While this announcement may be unpleasant, the cost of operating a top tier MMO has increased significantly over the past three years and this change will help us achieve our goal of seeing that every player has a consistently enjoyable experience in the world of EverQuest. We will continue to offer discounts from the new rate plan on multi-month subscriptions. The new price for a 3-month subscription will be $41.97, a 6-month subscription will now be $77.94 and a 12-month subscription will now be $143.88. The 24-month subscription will continue to be $199.95. You don't have to do a thing; you will automatically be migrated to the new billing structure under your current subscription plan when your current subscription plan expires. Subscription rates are subject to tax and value-added taxes, as applicable. These price increases will not affect the SOE Station AccessGäó subscription rate.
New EverQuest rates as of June 12, 2005: GÇó$14.99 per Month GÇó$41.97 for 3 Months GÇó$77.94 for 6 Months GÇó$143.88 for 12 Months GÇó$199.95 for 24 Months
Additionally we'd like to thank our current EverQuest players by offering a 6 and 12-month limited time promotional offer. For a limited time only, you can take advantage of 6 or 12-month promotional subscriptions and reap great savings. Between May 12th and June 11th, 2005, we're offering a special discount on the new monthly subscription price
Now, I could of sworn it happened a few years earlier then that as I remember EQ started at 9.99 USD then went to 14.99. But back on topic, I wouldn't mind if the subscription went up cause I would of already canceled it. What happens is there will be an exodus of players leaving (like I don't know the bitching forum rebels that got 20% of CCP fired (<-- pics and it did happen bro) and super caps nerfed...I don't know but I bet it could happen) and now you are paying more to make up the difference when many people can't be bothered and couldn't care to play anymore so you can pretend to be the lone wolf to a flock of sheep. It doesn't bother me one ******* bit that your wallet will now be dinged more and the consequences of your suggestion bite you in the ass making you think...is it worth it to continue playing the game when the cost goes up? F*** yeah move them to low sec, I can hit that cancel button faster then self destruct and know your gaming experience got more expensive. |
