Congrats, you've all been baited. Silly trolls.

With the Aussie dollar falling, my subscription just jumped 50% . ANd I pay two cause my partner plays as well.

Raising the price would just make competing MMO's look more appealing to many. At a time when the servers are experiencing falling numbers, this would NOT be a good idea

I think that MMO's should all be 9.99 there is no reason for them to charge more, even with server costs. Storage, and bandwith is so much cheaper these days!

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.

Hell, at $19.95 even the last 2 people playing that crappy game would leave lol

Ummm... charging 19.95 for what a game WILL offer?  Seriously?  I'm not going to (again) get into the promises Funcom has made as to what they WILL offer in the future.  But I assure you... the laughter would be heard all over the world should you suggest that paying FC more NOW will yield more, later.

This is a company that can't even get their PATCHER to work right.  Or are you saying I need to pay them 5 bucks more so that it will?

The only 2 games that could even CONSIDER raising their price is EVE and WOW.  You may not think WOW has alot to offer, but there are some 12 million people who disagree(I'm not one of them, but still...).

If a game is fun and it can get exposure it will be successful.  If it's successful, it won't NEED to charge more for its service.  FC needs to put up or shut up.  Offer a free trial and advert it here and elsewhere.  If their game is fun, people will join and it will be successful.  If it isn't, it will be SWG and AO rolled into one.  A game you can't GIVE away.

So did we revive this post that started in 2007...

Just to remember when more people had more money?

10/10 for sarcasm.

I know you can't possiby think prices go up for goods, so people make more money.

Well played sarcastic post.

At the moment, I know of 3 people in our guild alone that this week didnt re-sub because $15.99 converted to $AU is too much to pay for a bugged game with limited lvl 80 content.

I move to REDUCE the price until player base improves, and everything promised at release is in the game!

The OP of this very old thread was an idiot...sorry, but I had to say it.

Anyway....I am currently dishing out like $30 a month because I play AoC and LotRO, but I am probably leaving one shortly (probably AoC for a little bit) because I will be moving to EVE.

I'm not poor, but I'm not rich.  I can't afford $45 a month for games, regardless how good they are.

I really enjoy both AoC and LotRO, but I would quit both in a minute if sub prices went up to $20 a month.

well here in the uk funcom are the most expensive games to subb to

aoc : £10.50p

eq2 : £9.50

wow : £8.99

if funcom did up there subbs i would canncel with out a 2nd thought.

ps and remember here in the uk we pay a tax to play an online game ( its not called rip of britan for nothing :) ) were no were else has to pay a tax to play an online game.

497,000 people lost thier jobs last month in the US.

I took a 30% pay cut, quite against my will, last week.

Contrary to what you think, not everyone is making more money.

@Farlic ... look when the OP post was made...TWO years ago. AIG and all the other misfit banks were in high tide in deceit.

$12 would be better. =)

Bwains....bwains.....

Necro.

Just goes to show you what people think at release differs down the road.

And maybe the original poster got 3 king size snickers?

I really don't think the difference between 15 and 20 makes a difference in the long run. It just causes the end user to "justify" the 20 versus the other 15 dollar games out there.
