Everyone is making more money these days;if you're not, I suggest you ask for a raise.
Take a look around. Soon it'll be 2 quarters just to lick 1 stamp. Heh, I always buy 4 Snickers Bars every morning from the 7 Elven; it used to cost under 3 bux.Now it costs me almost 5 bucks. Hey i bought a $2.00 24 oz. bottle of Coke the other day and the machine didn't even have a slot for coins;it just had a slot for singles... Prices Go Up People. In general things cost more and more everyday.This is just how the world works my friends. Anyways, I do believe Age of Conan will be a step above all other mmorpgs. A higher monthly fee could be easily justified.Heck, I would even pay 24.95 a month to play this game. Heck,I would even pay 149.95 for a special "Collectors Edition" box(if they included a real bronze 2 hand axe with the name Conan engraved on it or something neato) I think that this game will raise the bar and set a new standard in the genre for future mmorpgs. Charging $19.95 per month for a game with all that Age of Conan will offer only makes sense to me. I hope someone important from Funcom reads this. Someone could be gettin' a raise. |

All that sugar is apparently clouding your brain :)
I honestly see nothing stated that creates a need to raise the subscription price any higher than the standards we are already at. Much higher and I definitely think you will limit the community. Price rises mainly happen in certain markets due to peoples willingness to spend more, and your openness to it does not help the end user. It's not to say that they shouldn't be paid any wage donating time for free and washing my car for nickels but near 15 bucks a month per user is quiet a good deal on their end. The very fact that you pay more for your candy bars and ice cold beverages would only make one believe you would have even less money to spend on entertainment so why in hell would we want to pay more for that too? |

Be glad you are not living in the UK, an average bus journey now costs 2+ british pounds = $4+ dollars.
If Funcom start to charge over $20-25 a month to play the game, i feel alot of people will be turned of, the majority of mmos players are in theri early to mid teens and rely heavily on thier parents to pay the subs, once $25 a month is taken out of their account, i think alot of peopel will stop playing the game and recvert to cheaper p2p games. You may not think $20-25 sounds much now, but it will soon add up. Even older players once they start to be hit with $20 a month will start to think wtf why are they charging so much. |

Dude, you eat 4 snickers a day? Thats friggen disgusting, and shows your lack of self control towards spending money wisely.....that or you are just a fatty mc fat fat. I also see no reason to raise the monthly charges beyond the norm. If I can play EVERY other MMO for 15 a month, then why am I to be inclined to pay 20 for AOC? Some innovative designs? I think not my friend, unless they are sending me $5 worth of hookers and blow every month then I am not paying them a cent over the $15 usual. |

Just wondering if anyone remembers the old AOL Neverwinter Nights game? Compared to the per hour price plan they used the games now are dirt cheap. I remember living off of Spagettios and Tuna one month because I overplayed that game.
I'm just glad they don't try that type of plan again. |

Originally posted by Unicorns_Pwni can understand why you would think i'm nuts for suggesting a higher monthly fee. I just feel that if AoC is as good as I think it will be; a 19.95 subscription for 30 days would be good for the players. Yes,it would be beneficial for us gamers by showing that we are willing to fork out more cash for quality. It would send a message to future mmorpg developers that hey if you actually make something good,yes you can charge a little more and we will happily pay extra with a smile on our face. C'mon guys,it still will cost LESS than $1 USD per day. Fellow gamers let's all help send that message. Age of Conan a Premium Mmorpg. |

man I feel for you British people having to carry all those pounds of money. it must hurt your back. As for AoC being worth a sub increase... I see alot of games heading that way very soon. Even the older games will be raising their fees within the next 6 months.(my crystal ball is never wrong) |

First reaction to price of $20-25 a month: run away! Second reaction, after some though: parents might tell their kids, "Play WoW, I'm not paying $5-10 more than what WoW costs!" Bad for WoW, better for AoC... |
