Resubscribing to Graal???
 
Ok I have 1 more day of Gold left, and since I started this account in 2007 I do not have unlimited classic.

I've paid twice already, both times were like $19-$22? And now Im at my last day.

So I check the payment stuff, and it says 24 euros. 24 EUROS!? wtf? So I convert it into dollars and its $30 for 8 months, about 10 dollars more. If I add up the money ive spent on graal already thats $44 and now its going to go on $70 if i choose to keep playing?

Is this right? Should I pay for another 8 months on an even higher cost.
Why is the cost RISING, it should be dropping as the game of Graal itself is losing members and getting crappier.

GRAAL ISNT GETTING BETTER. SO WHY SHOULD I PAY MORE?

Can someone tell me why i should honestly keep paying for this crapi 2d game, when over 60 percent of graal has unlimited classic and doesnt have to?

Why do the new people only have to pay? Thats no fair, people with unlimited classic got to play when graal was good, why do the people have to now pay for a ****ty game when its worse?

Can someone give me their ideas, i probably wont be able to reply by tommorow though, depends if i resubscribe or what. !pissed! !pissed! !pissed!

If you dont think its worth it, dont resub! Obvious -_-

MiniOne 02-16-2009 11:03 AM

Well it would depend on many factors such as:
a) do you enjoy the game?
b) do you believe its worth the money you pay?
c) would you spend time on the game or let your money go to waste?

And so on

Think about these factors and if the majority is yes and you do want to resub then obviously you should but if you don't think its worth your time/money then don't

i'd go to a concert if i wouldnt spend it on graal, but for 24 euros it'd be a crappy one no doubt, so it goes to graal.

it depends if theres anything else you want to do with the money.

and i always imagine, a themeparkticket, costs about 20+ euros here, then you also have to spend extra money on food and drinks.
you spend about 7 hours in the themepark max?

on graal you spend 24 euros, and are busy for 100+ hours? i do call it worth it,

or an xboxgame, you pay 60 euros for it, and yes you can keep playing it aslong as you like, but it will become boring.

The price of Graal didn't directly raise. The price actually decreased, but instead of charging USD it charges Euros now. Since the US economy isn't very strong right now the US dollar is worth less compared to the euro. In reality, Graal is actually cheaper now (for european people) than it was before, except, since the US dollar is in such poor standing it costs more to the Americans.

Do you think that Europeans actually opted to pay through Paypal via Euros prior to the switch? I know I didn't.

And how many times do you think I've subscribed for Gold since then? Every time it has ran out.

Don't know, don't care either. The fact that you chose the higher paying option when Sweden doesn't even use Euros is ridiculous.

What about dem Canadiens :[ ! I have unlimited Classic so W/e

TSAdmin 02-17-2009 08:38 AM

I still have Unlimited Classic, but I still HAVE to pay because my job on here requires it. :\ It works out around 60 Australian Dollars or thereabout when it used to be about 40ish :( /sadface

Dude aus dollars are worth more like right now :) i think its 65c for each US so now its like $36 for a year PAY FAST if you live in aus (i may have my facts wrong because i didnt actually pay much attention to the news)
xD but ya it was or is like $60 Aus because of the exchange rates and it was only 40 back then because the rates were more even with the US/Euro whatever currency is required for graal back then.

Euros are worth alot these days compared to other currencies (reason why prices are so high in countries who don't use Euros and the US dollar)

Haha you actually mean the AUS dollar is worthless right now.

TSAdmin 02-18-2009 12:54 AM

Yeah, the AUS Dollar is buying around 60 US Cents. IE: 100AUD will only get me around 60USD, quite worthless.

Your knowledge or lack of scares me. The AUS dollar is worthless right now. The Euro is worth so much because it is a large communal of countries working together, A lot of prices in the EU are a lot more expensive also.

The U.S. dollar is down because of a lot of reasons, one of them being our country is spending more then they are making, and they are also low on gold reserves.

DustyPorViva 02-18-2009 01:06 AM

Not upgrading again :)

As an administrator of the game, you're still paying them? I was just ranting yesterday about the "pay them to make their game to make them money" thing. I didn't know it gets worse. x_x

edit:
I stopped after my second upgrade.

heh.. they should at least give you gold for free instead of making you pay for it since you're working for them.

also, this account runs out of gold in a few days so I'm switching to my old account with unlimited classic! (already transferred everything on Era) unless I can post on these boards with no gold without any restrictions I'll use this account for the forums. no way am I paying again.

We make it possible for long-time admins to get free gold subscriptions. It's partially community work so we are not automatically adding it.

^ What he said.

I wasn't worried. Just after I got my position, I was running out of Gold Time and Bell told me to contact unixmad and Ibonic, but making my judgement I figured that it'd just be easier for me to resubscribe weighing up the options of which option was going to get a result first.

I didnt mind, it's a little more money toward Graal that I personally didn't mind spending since I had the money to blow.

Toward graal? :p

Ravenblade1979 02-19-2009 06:29 AM

How about changing the price again so it doesn't cost me $50 for a year.

hmm, I probably worded it bad. I mean the money put toward Graal didn't bother me... if I make sense. If not, maybe:

It didn't bother me that the money spent was spent on Graal, and not something else. Though I needed it or I would be found in a "you're useless as a PWA, cant even get on non-classic worlds" position.
