I would love to play this game, however the official site says the fee in Europe is 13.99, however for the US it's $14.99 - a price which equates to less than £10.

Why is this and is it really worth it for a UK player?  I'm already playing Aion at £8.99 a month and really wanted PotBS to be less than £10 too.

Thanks

 Aion charges less & has put a lot more in its polish/developement so SOE/FLS would be crazy not to reduce its sub.

Pointed this out on their official forums some time ago but as usual no response.

That's a shame, I'd love to play this game.   I did the Beta testing and enjoyed it, I'd like to see how it's evolved due to my obsession with pirates, yet my refusal to pay more than £10 a month is stopping me.  I hope Sony start to listen.

It is billed at £9.99 UK sterling a month, NCsofts Aion £8.99 I believe.
