Aarhus, Denmark – April 24, 2006 – Runestone Game Development announced today a special offer, buy two-months, pay for only one for Seed, its upcoming genre-shattering massively multiplayer game, launching in May 2nd. "The intro-offer is a big thank you to our loyal community and beta testers. At the same time we hope newcomers will seize the opportunity and experience the Seed world for themselves," said Lars Kroll Kristensen, CEO of Runestone Game Development. Seed will be available for download at www.seedthegame.com with a 14-day free trial. The monthly subscription rate will be €13.00 or $15.00. The introduction offer is available in May only and will cover the first two months. “From the commercial release on May 2nd, we will add features and gameplay elements to the core game already there,” continued Kristensen. “Exactly how this will proceed, will depend a lot on our community and the choices they make.” “The release of Seed marks the culmination of the two and a half years of development and beta testing,” added Kristensen. “We’re thrilled to see our work come to full life.” |

Ummm, I don't think you actually read that. Before today the plan was that you get a free trial for the first 14 days. Then it would be $15.00 per month (That means your $15 would cover until June 16th). Now they are saying you pay $15.00 and you will be paid in full until July 16th.
Who cares, its junk anyway. But im sure some fanbois will come by and tell me how much i am wrong and how this game is REVOLUTIONARY!
Im sure.
You're mistaken, the game is initially free to download, there is no boxed version you have to buy.
In any other MMO you pay £30-£40 for the game and one month included, then £10/month sub. Cost to play for first 2 months = £30 box + £10 sub = £40.
In this MMO you pay £0 for the game, 15 days included, then £10/month sub. EXCEPT, you get a free month as well because it's 2 for the price of 1 at launch. Cost to play for first 2 months = £10.
So it's 1/4 the price of another MMO initially and you get the 14 day trial period free as well.
Whether it sucks or not is a different topic but it's certainly cheap enough to try it out for yourself ;)
