This community is exactly why P2P was implemented.

I am not sure why people keep talking about 15$. It is 10$, less if you sub for several months at once.

Because they want to amplify the message to get pricing model changed, 10$ as too high of a price won't work so 15$ kept being used to repeat the message.

I'm pretty sure just because people can afford to pay 15$ a month, doesn't mean it's worth 15$ a month.

yah its so funny the russians don't have 15 $ for the game aahahah .... what an assholes .

I'm pretty sure just because people can afford to pay 15$ a month, doesn't mean it's worth 15$ a month.

So what does it mean then? Just because your parents can afford paying xx to raise you, doesn't mean you are worth that much? Are you implying that most things people are willing to pay highly for are lesser in value?

i paid dollars


and im going to enjoy the game

your move

[MRSatan]

Maybe if the game wasn't such a grind fest...

Its fucking $6 a month if you subscribe for a full year.
2 years ago most of you fuckers were begging to pay $6/month just so the World 7 server would stop lagging.

world 7 never really stopped lagging.

for me it's not the price, it's the fact that once you pay and have limited playing time (due to real life) you cannot play coz server is not stable. I'm not even complaining about laggy, it's just not up at all.

Was about to ask the same thing. Have people actually read the pricing thing or just see what someone has said and jump right in screaming its too much?

So lets see, $10 a month with roughly 1000 players, (others will be content with the $15 once up and just caually hunt/gather maybe be a farmer for a small villa) that gives $10 000 a month, $120k a year, seems like a lot hey, but wait there are 2 of them, $60k a year each. Thats not over whelming but does alow them to become full time devs, not just in their spare time but as a job. Seems reasonable to me, pay your $10 a month and you get your clearly favorate game with full support and development and with this will come stability.

For those screaming Warcraft is cheaper, they have a player base in the 10s of millions not in the high hundreds/early thousands. Maybe with the income generated we will see some advertising for the game go up and will draw more players allowing for a drop in price.

But wait, I want to run 15 bots and not actually play the game but just run around with one of my 5 fighter characters killing noobs like a hero. Well suck it up and pay $200 a month for the right to be a douche.

For anyone who wants to be a kick ass fighter on the cheap, stop being an abrasive little ass hole and killing every person you see in "your area", rather communicate with people, offer them protection and higher tech thus developing working relationships with people that just want to farm, build pretty things and milk their cows.

They needed a way to make player time valuble again so as to build a more communal feel and promote helping small people to support growth of the more aggressive fighter types, this is the path they have chosen and i dont think it is a bad one.

Anyone still winging about cost ask yourself: How much of your time have you given for free just for others to gain enjoyment? Now weigh it against the years of development put into H&H, then shut your mouth and go volunteer at a soup kitchen.

Not even, consider that at $60K a year, they would still be taxed on their income. (Especially where they live!)

On top of that, running a "server" which I assume is actually a few high performance servers with lots of bandwidth and a great connection is going to likely run them anywhere from $1,000 to $8,000 a month depending on their setup. Who knows, maybe they collocate an entire rack of their own equipment? Even more expensive.

it's not a matter of being able to afford it, it's the fact that it's not worth 15 dollars, you can do a lot more with 15 dollars than a grind java game, like I said, go learn the value of a dollar then come back when mommy isn't giving you an allowance and you have no obligation to spend it on anything but junk food and video games, till then enjoy getting killed and having people leave signs on your corpse saying "xaxaxa cyka" for 15 dollars a month because from your personality I can tell you're the bottom bitch and are used to getting fucked.

I find it hilarious how you first speak about knowing the value of your dollars, and in the next breath cry like the little self-entitled cunt you are about how the developers no longer wanting to pay for running and providing this game for you. But it is ok, you still have the choice to take your welfare mentality to another game. My first statement still stands, if you don’t think it´s worth the money then don’t play it. And if a couple of bucks extra a month makes you rage like someone roofied your children, then maybe you should consider taking a couple of extra shifts down at the quickie mart instead of spending time looking for free computer games…
