If your financial situation is any where near not being able to afford that, you shouldn't be spending your time playing video games. 10.00 GBP = 219.605 ZAR British Pound Gåö South African Rand I will readily admit that I don't know the value of that any more as I don't live there any longer. However, at one point, I was earning R 5 000 a month, spending some 2 000+ on renting a two bed room house, 150-200 a week on groceries and R 800 for a maid to clean and do laundry two mornings a week. R 500 on a cell phone connection to the Internet and then looking at another week of groceries for a game subscription. This all looks fine as a budget, until you throw in all those hidden costs to life, such as going to a doctor or dentist, new pair of glasses, your medical insurance, paying the local armed security extortion rackets and so forth. The exchange rate can be extremely significant even to a comfortable life and job. CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids I will be voting for Xenuria because... EVE is becoming shallow and childish; it will not satisfy either crowd.

While I give the OP +1 for bravery in suggesting something like this, even thinly supported as it was; there is nothing good from tying a game to real life consequences or creating some kind of forced subsidy program between perceived haves and perceived have nots. Agreed. I can fully get behind a player initiative to help those less fortunate. I was even a bit down when that Goon didn't get a specialised wheel chair or vehicle from a voting contest.

It is a social responsibility in third world countries to hire unskilled labour. There tends to be more people than jobs.

The fact you could afford a maid automatically disqualifies you from complaining about the cost of living, sorry. Forum ate my post, so the salient points: - Social responsibility - People with very little or no education - Sold TV, Hi-Fi, microwave and toaster at one point to ensure we paid our servant. The one servant we had for many years and came to us with the clothes on his back and a pregnant wife had a house with eight rooms (he rented four), had a corner shop, electrician, plumbing and tree felling businesses when we left. They become your dependants and you help them if you have them for the right reasons. CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids I will be voting for Xenuria because...

Remember, it's a luxury product. If you consider it to be essential, you have a much bigger problem than the price of the game. Forget what ever you have latched onto in the original post. We the players can help other players. Quietly and without embarrassing them. CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids I will be voting for Xenuria because...
