Nice explanation at WHY you think this.

Let's make a comparison. CC has testing for it's maps that get uploaded. LandGrab doesn't. CC has roughly about 20 000 active users constantly. Land Grab has only gotten about 69 000 in it's lifetime according to the site. The forums on LandGrab aren't even close to being as used as CC's. Tournaments on CC are bigger and more vast then LandGrab's. The interface on CC, from what I can tell by just looking at it, is quite easy to navigate. LandGrab's interface is clumsy and hard to get around.

Heck, even the website that ranks all the Risk based websites has ranked CC above LandGrab.

Best to write Paypal about your concerns as an customer or try another risk game site like Right now the bottom line is what does PayPal think of the lack of interest CC has in it's customers.


I'll save you some trouble by telling you Paypal won't care. Nor should they by all accounts, whats your issue with the programming anyway. Is this a cleverly disguised i dont like the bad dice i just got thread? We all get them... i wouldn't let it worry you.

Personnally i enjoy it here bad dice or not.

Chin up! ;)

Right Now would be a pretty good name for a site, though. ;)

Seriously, though, nice first post in the forums, Spelt. What a jerk. This isn't some popcap productions or other crap with huge budgets funded mostly by spam advertisements on the site, or by selling your e-mail address to companies who will try to get you to buy crap. For the way this site is funded, I think Lackattack does a fine job. Damned fine job. =D> =D> =D> =D>

=D> Today should be Lackattack appreciation day for the rest of CC's existence. =D>

I have an annual lack appreciation day. Every year in April I give him my spare money to show my love.

A truly silly complaint. I have just renewed my premium, £16.05 for a year of unlimited games and an active community too. This is probably the highest value, quality fun available.

Without question, this noob considers this site to be TREMENDOUS value and great bang for the buck.

I'm still dazed and confused by forums, clans, tournaments, etc. but I'll get there.

Curious about pricing models: have these been played with?

For example, if annual US $25 membership were US $15, would more than 2x pay the membership?

At one point it was $20 and was raised. I don't think there has been much serious thought about it beyond that.

I HIGHLY doubt it. It is such a small price, I think they could ask 35 and get pretty much as many members.

Don't worry, I don't think we've plans to raise the base price of Premium Membership any time soon. But we are working on some extra fun content... :D
