$20 for one year is too much money to spend!

why not $11 for 6 months and $6 for 3 months, for example? or something like that?

because I see my friends creating 2nd acounts in order to play more than 4 games... and I cannot blame them... (they arent cheaters, because they dont play with the diferent acounts in the same game)
but for the good of the game... I think more options would be welcome and more ways of payments if possible...

greetings, anormal

$20 is a lot of money? Since when? I think I would almost be willing to spend twice that on CC. It's worth every penny.

Lack rocks.

BTW Just to play more than the FREE 4 games IS CHEATING.

If you kids can't ask your mommies for the $20 to play CC, get a summer job. Sheesh.

ARGH! That makes me mad, "waaah $20 is too much money to spend" waaaah waaah I want it for free wah wah wah...

Sorry, it's irritating. How many Nintendo Wii games do you have? Or XBOX? Or PS2? Get with it. Good things like CC are worth paying for. Lack isn't doing this for free. The premium membership helps pay for CC's hosting fees, and his time supporting this site. Again, it's worth every penny.

Again, LACK YOU ROCK.

considering you get unlimited games for one whole year, $20 dollars is a steal. some websites will give you half these features for double the money *cough*grand*cough*strategy*cough*

Edit: It has already been rejected anyway - http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=635

I think the problem may not be the $20 but the lack of value for the $20. The biggest problem I have with this site - and I AM a premium member - is the lack of features for my money. Unlimited games is not that big a deal. Features like the ability to set minimum point values or to join special "premium only" Battle Royales would make it more attractive to get people to upgrade.

My $.02

I did the search and didn't see quite what I was looking for, so forgive me if this has been discussed before.

I wanted to ask/suggest that the site offer smaller increments of time to subscribe. I know I can be a cheapo but I have subscribed to a chess website (Gameknot) and let that lapse because it was $60 a year (for the package that let you be a team captain which I was) and I lost interest, I am currently subscribing to Tribal Wars ($27.20 for 10 months per world and I am paying for 2 worlds) and I don't want to spend $20 right away for a site I just found. I usually go through phases and don't stay interested in any one thing for too long so the $20 for a year keeps me from paying. If we could do $5 for 3 months or at least $10 for half a year, that would be better and I bet the site would get MANY more subscribers since I know I'm not the only one that doesn't want to commit to a whole year (I've only been around for 19 so a year seems like a long time). Actually, many sites do this; the site could sell 3 months for $7 or 6 months for $12. That way, the hesitant ones are more likely to pay and if they like it and keep subscribing in small increments, the site makes more money in the long run (either $28 or $24 a year depending on how fearful of committment they are).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the gameknot rates:

Silver ----> $6.99 / month (can play 30 games at a time, can play in 4 mini-tournaments)

Gold ----> $39.95 / year (can play 50 games at a time, can play in 8 mini-tournaments)

Platinum ---->$59.50 / year (can play 100 games at a time, can play in 12 mini-tournaments, can be team captain)

Titanium ----> $99.50 / year (can play 200 games at a time, can play in 16 mini-tournaments, can be team captain)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tribal Wars is:

3 Premium points - 14 days - 2.99 USD

5 Premium points - 1 month - 3.60 USD

10 Premium points - 2 months - 6.70 USD

20 Premium points - 4 months - 12.80 USD

50 Premium points - 10 months - 27.20 USD

nope nope nope because premium players PAY to hav UNLIMITED games not to pay 100 dollars for a year and a limited amount of games why would they do tht when they could hav it for 20 dollars for unlimited for a year plenty of people buy premium now so why would lack change it????

james9487 · Post by **james9487** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 3:39 pm

Hold on, that wasn't my argument. That is just what Gameknot does for chess games, I only used the two examples to show how different price options are offered to members.

im sorrry your right i just ddint feel like reading it the first time but no tht i read it all i hafta say is i didnt have to pay for mine i won it well got it for free i guesss u could say but i had got tired of the site for maybe a 3 maybe 4 month period but thn i came back and im playing again and it feels nice tht u can come back and still have premium i had gotten it on august first and i played for 5 months and played atleast 560 games than i got bored cause i found tribal wars but than i am still playing tribal wars and came back to this so it is well worth it believe me

Ah, sweet, a fellow tribal wars player. I looked you up, I never really played world 3 though.

Well, it's just that 20$ isn't very much, and a year is a long time. But this has been suggested before, and I think people would like to have some kind of trial package, such as, say, 5$ for two months, 20$ for a year.

Landgrab has

2.50 for a month

But those rates Rev. Kyle suggested sound quite good - rewards those who sign for longer

Ridiculous idea. The four allowed games for free are enough to get a taste of the site. How will the ability to play in unlimited games for a month allow someone to make a getter decision to buy the year long one? As it was mentioned, the $20 is very cheap. If you can't afford $20 then you can't afford to waste time playing this game.

I'd get 60 dollars then pay it.

the reason i dont buy premium is i dont want the temptation of unlimited games, maybe an alternative type of membership with say 15 game max but you can still make private games? i would be willing to pay 20 bucks for that.

john1099 · Post by **john1099** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 7:56 pm

Where is the "GFY" option?

BobHacket · Post by **BobHacket** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:32 pm

I like it the way it is now because I love this game and like to have the option of having 30 games run at a time and be on the computer 24/7 or to have 4 games run and only check to once a day.

The gameplay changes however I want it to and I only had to make a 20 commitment which I spend on one meal for a date. So I am happy, also I play tribalwars, I am in world 7 and 8 : D

I think I made it clear that I wasn't hesitant because I couldn't "get a taste" with four games, it was that I don't know if I will still be interested in 4 months, so I'd rather test premium for a few months and see if this site is something I want to do for a long time. I said I usually get bored with things and I would rather buy a few months for a petty amount rather than just throw $20 at something I MAY not be interested in a few months from now.

Besides, if it was so ridiculous, why do just about all subscription sites offer several different package options?
