Dev Opinion on Payments

Jun 21, 2006 smittens link
I promise this is my last entry to the DOo archives tonight!

And this one's really quick.

As some of you may have read in numerous places, I pay my $10/month and will continue to do so as long as it's possible, because I so strongly support the devs. However the thought just struck me, would you guys prefer this consistant payment where you overall get more, or for example the 24 month/$160 one, where you get 16 times more (good math, eh?) up front, but lose $80 overall?

The momerath hath spoken. 2 year plan > monthly plan.

If you're in it to support the devs, why not buy a second account? The game's dirt cheap already, and I've heard some players do have multiple accounts.

I can't afford a second account, and calling this "Dirt cheap" is a bit rude to our friends who can't afford it...

Damn it, I read that backwards when he posted it and switched over from 3 months to one month XD I guess I'll take the 2-year plan in a couple of months, when I don't owe my CC as much as I do now.

Okay, so your friends who claim they can't afford it are dirt cheap.

I didn't mean that as an affront... empirically speaking the game is dirt cheap compared to most other mmos, particularly on the longer payment plans.

$160 / 24 mo. = $6.66/mo. compared to say, WoW or EvE Online which are both $14.95/mo.

Plus VO is free to dl.
