Seriously?

The original thread and the thread I made are not related, except the are about membership.

My thread was a very specific instance.

Now if someone clicks the thread the first post is an irrelevant post from years ago.

Please seperate my post back to the way it was.

I agree, they are separate topics.

They were... if you look at each post you can see what thread it was from and what each developed into

Edit: I have removed the post by Twill made in 2006 that may have put users off the track. But all other merged posts will remain are they are either in relation to membership subscriptions or deviated to that topic.

Mets, thank you so much for taking time out from banging your single issue drum. If your reading skills were on par with your faux outrage acting skills, you wouldn't have posted the dribble above.
I don't give two shakes of a diseased rhythm stick what BW does with his personal life. Never asked about that, don't want to know. Do want to know when he is getting back, as he appears to be the only person able/authorized to clarify this muddy mess. Back to your tub thumping kiddo.

What world do you live in where you have some sort of right to know when bigWham is or is not on vacation, and will or will not be available to answer your specific question? He is not going to tell you, no one is going to tell you, because it is none of your goddamn business. Stop pretending like you matter.

RIP OFFS!!!!!!

if you gift a membership it cost $39.00

if i buy a membership for yourself the only way you get a $29.00 price is if i go onto auto renew wow this really sucks

if i just buy a membership for myself i have to buy credits and it will cost the same as a gift membership for $39.00

wow this site is really working hard on how to SCREW its members!!!!

keep up the good work soon we will all be paying ungodly amounts to play this silly game and soon this site will be a ghost town because if it wast declining before it sure will be declining with the way its going now!!!!

Ok 1st off BoganGod already said he dose not give a rats ass about BW personal life But if BW is the only person that can resolve
this Issue then who is in charge nobody :?:

2ND WPRJ has a great question give him a real answer not bullshit !!!

The flow of the conversation is affected by the merging.

The information provided by Swifte gets lost between rambling between Bogan and Mets. I think the merge does a disservice this time. It's something important that should be very clear.

There's no emergency here. We are talking about year long subscriptions. If BoganGod doesn't get his answer within the next two days, the world is not going to end.

This is an excellent business strategy! may i suggest when/if big wham does return, he place this at the top of the cc home page.

we want your money! so please... if you find a discrepancy in the pricing dept, we will get back to you when we feel like it. it may be days... or weeks. we never can tell. so please enjoy the bot games in the meantime.

by **Metsfanmax** on Sat Jan 10, 2015 8:35 pm

Not sure what you expect him to say anyway. That's not the sort of change that happens on accident, obviously it was intentional.

by **WILLIAMS5232** on Sat Jan 10, 2015 8:43 pm

well, i hope he don't run off any more of my cc friends with these steep price increases. i've already lost enough friends due to various other issues.

but maybe he thinks he will get more new guys than he will lose old guys, and he don't care about my current cc friends. i don't know. but it used to be fun to log in, check games, read pm's and our clan forum. now i only come here pretty much out of habit because all of that other stuff went dry. when i change my life habit, this site will probably take a backseat as well.

by **Metsfanmax** on Sat Jan 10, 2015 8:48 pm

Well you've been following the long-term decline right? With so few members left, I can see how he might feel like raising the subscription price is a legit way to retain some revenue at this point. He cannot be making much off the site by this point. He is presumably hoping that the people he loses because of it (which I think will be few, $30/year is still a reasonable price) are made up for by the additional premium revenue.

i thought it was $39 if you use the tokens. and would only stay at $30 if you sign up for the auto-pay. which probably half of credit card users know is a trap and will not sign up for that.

i'm just going off of what i've read in this thread. or one of the other threads.

EDIT; yep. i just checked for myself. it's a scam. recurring membership to buy it for the 30 dollar price. what a fucking joke. if you want to buy it non-recurring you have to pay with tokens. to buy the excact amount you will need to pay 39 dollars. so much for a quality site with long term members. this will only favor people playing in little 3 month spurts. be real hard to keep a long term thriving community like this. oh well. it was good while it lasted.

I don't understand what the big deal is with the recurring memberships. Recurring memberships are common on basically every gaming site I'm familiar with, so that you don't forget to resubscribe and then lose gameplay features or something. It is objectionable that people were never told that this change had occurred, but to me it is an obvious improvement to not have to remember when my subscription needs to be renewed.

This. And just cancel the auto-pay after you buy it if you don't like it. Problem solved.

recurring is for suckers. it' preys on people who are unorganized and will not moniter their credit card statement after they impulse charge for a month of cc and play 5 games then leave. good for big wham, bad for my perception of his practices. some people like it, but most sites understand that some don't so they also offer a non-recurring option. unfortunately conquer clubs next option is 10 bucks more (30%). i'll never sign up for a recurring anything. and no matter how affordable 40 dollars a year is, it's just silly to pay that for a gaming site.

basically, you can support this option all you want, but i see it damaging the forum and active community tremendously. the boss may benefit from it, but the site will suck.

you got in before my response, but my point is, he's doing this because he knows folks will not cancel. to me that's shady. people will be paying for cc years after they logged in, and that's where he'll make his money.

Confederate, there are many many other ways to get credit besides buying them... join the society of super guides and be an active member gets me 200 credits a month, use your stars to enter auto tournaments that offer credits as prizes. Plus it may be an intial $39 or 40 if you are one of the few with 0 credits to start with, but you will have credits left over after the purchase.. Those credits do not disappear but stay in your CC bank account, so future purchases cost less.

by **ViperOverLord** on Sat Jan 10, 2015 11:03 pm

Credits costing different rates at different prices....okay.

But there's still two troublesome issues.

1. Gifting someone premium from your account is roughly $35, which is $5 more for why?
2. Even at the higher rate, one has to buy a bunch of credits at more than $35; and that is very inconvenient, especially for members who are not seeking to go the credits route.

How does one cancel the auto pay? This frankly pisses me off if I've been put on an auto-pay. I religiously avoid auto-pays.

I believe it is done in your account section in the store. If you have an active subscription you can cancel it here https://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?mode=account

Yea, I just did it in the account. But as I was exploring it through paypal just now, I didn't like that it said 'agree and continue.' That typically means that there is another screen. It should say 'make payment' or something to that effect. Now, I paid for a premium 4 months early when that was not my intent.

Edit: But it added the 12 months to the time that I have already bought (rather than just restart the 12 months); so, I'll live with it.

Actually it isn't. They are both 3500 credits. At the moment the only way to gift membership is through credits. if there is enough people request subscription gifting then I am sure wham will price match current subscription prices.

Gifting memberships has always been an extremely low form of revenue for CC and I am sure that BW did not expect this reaction. Plus these prices have been in place for months and it is only now there is an uproar about it shows that it is a small minority affected.

Stop all this talk about credits..TeeGee..Getting Premium used to mean something special.to Conquer Club Members..It means Jack Shit now...The walls that held up premium membership.Have all but been washed away ..With High Command Garbage...Stop the credits talk..If people want to play more than four games.Get a premium membership..If people want to play speed games.although like I have stated in my c.c.declining post..my God why..they should have to buy premium plain and simple..We shouldn't have to get token stars to join a tourney..That's why we paid for premium..the "perks ".Wake up already..Stop it just Stop it..Please stop it..ConfederateSS..out!! :-$
