when i bought a year subs last year it was 131.40 euro.. which in our own currency pounds sterling, was ú90. now as my year is nearly up i once again have to pay 131.4 euro. but as the pound has gone down against teh euro i have to pay ú105. a increase of 18%.
this is something americans are not having to deal with. you get to pay in your own currencey and it dosnt matter how its doing against anything else.
so when ccp says they havnt put the sub's up.. you have by making me pay in a currency thats isnt the one i get paid in

nope most likly 131.40 euros less, as i will have to close my alt account. ú210 for 2 accounts is to much on a space ship game. a us player could get 3 for the same prices

Originally by: Digital Anarchist If you just want to raise prices, do so openly.
This. I find it quite off-putting to see CCP portraying this in terms of "we're just simplifying things and getting in line with industry standards", with zero acknowledgment that this constitutes a subscription fee increase.
Unless raising prices without saying that's what you're doing is the "industry standard" they're talking about.
From CCP's point of view, this may not consitute a price rise. They don't work in dollars. They may in fact just be ending what has come to constitute a huge discount to US customers.
AFAIK, I'm still paying 15 Euros per month as a subscriber. For a long time, US players were paying considerably less than me. Now that the subsidised dollar price has been equalised, why the outrage?
You do know that the US players make up over 60% of the paying player base right?
60% are you having a laugh mate?

You <expleteve deleted> lying <expletive deleted> misinformation-spreading <expletieve deleted> no-good <bleepitybleep> !
Country% of subscribers United States37.06% United Kingdom13,92% Germany8,05% Russia5,54% Canada4.84% Australia 3.04% Netherlands2,30% Sweden2,28% Denmark2,24% Poland0,84% France2,47% Finland1,05% Norway1,43% Hungary0,41% Ukraine0,90% Austria0,81% Belgium0,75% Romania0,67% Brazil0,31% Spain0,59% Others 10,50%
There. Freaking 37%.
being part of teh 13.9% of uk subscribers, our fees have gone up 18% in the past 10 months. we now pay over 50% more than us players for the same year (131.40 euros is ú105, $131.40 is ú67) let us pay in our own currencey, like you let the us players as this will stop currency fluxations for us.

Originally by: CCP RyanD [ Although our pricing does not mirror the marketshare leader at this time, it does reflect the internal assumptions we are basing our business plan on, and our price is something we are comfortable with at this time.

Originally by: DrefsabZN do you have any plans to actually fix the direct billing system for people in the UK.
Yes. This is a more complex problem than it may appear due to some taxation issues (CCP has a UK office). I know that we are committed to supporting the primary payment methods in our major markets, and the UK is no exception. I don't have a timeline for this, but I am certain it is given a fairly high priority.
does this mean that we can pay teh ccp uk office in pounds and not have the issue we are having at the moment with the euro inflation?. uk yearly sub cost has risen 18% in the last 10 months

Originally by: RedLion Actually it's the pound which inflates :P (and it's not only relative, it is actually the pound going down).
Thus english people getting less for their quids, but in the end every monthly subscription should be matched up against euro.
the pound has held steady against teh US$. but as teh euro has become stronger it has inflated against both. i do agree that if we are being made to pay in euros everyone should also be made to pay in euros. instead of being given over a 50% discount

Originally by: Rorin Cutter Edited by: Rorin Cutter on 31/05/2008 16:50:10 anyone even noticed that ccp has not answered this issue? they listen to every little "nerf this" topic, but total silence on this issue.
See page 18 tbfh.
Golly! You mean nobody reads the whole threadnaught? Who'da thunk it?
not so much a responce to why ccp cant sell 30 and 90day time codes even at teh higher value. the responce was more a 'we are ccp, you are the customer. know your place'

If you read the whole thread you'll find our replies, the blue bar was broken for a while when those posts were made though.
i understand that you have posted and your hand are firmly tied by your boss, so this question you may not be able to answer.....
