BEAT THE PRICE RISE!!

Post by TeeGee »

The price of ConquerClub subscriptions have remained the same now for over 8 years.
That is despite rising server costs and inflation.
bigWham has absorbed all of these costs to date however that is about to change.
Both general memberships and subscriptions will rise soon.
BEAT THE PRICE RISE!!
You can add extra time to your current subscription by paying early, this will add time to your current subscription and not restart it.
HURRY before the prices increase

Is that why they stopped paying out credits to event winners?

Currently 8.5 cents a day. 11 cents a day is $40 A YEAR. LOL. I think if people can’t afford that, then perhaps less map and nap time and more work time is in order. One cigarette is 30 cents.

In the USA $40 a year is not much money but in some countries...

Ghana: National minimum wage levels have hovered near the $38 USD per month mark. Sierra Leone: Statutory minimum wages translate to roughly $38 to $41 USD per month. Gambia: Lower tier and basic public or agricultural wages can fall near $23–$40 USD per month.Cuba / Venezuela / Parts of East Africa: Official state salaries or severely devalued local currency conversions can yield nominal values in the $30 to $50 USD per month range... Bangladesh ৳1,500 (US$13) per month.

Now the site looks old so you'd expect a price drop not a rise.. first goal should always be bringing in more players. Or if the cost of running the site is getting too high then consider selling it

The way to bring more players in is to make a second site, with only the best maps and a new 2026 look and best settings only. The price of having another site should be peanuts and membership should be valid for both site's. Second site is purely focussed on bringing in more players. For new players it should have a maximum of 5 minutes wait time before the game starts, if no players joined in 5 minutes then the bots fill the empty slots automatically. Now a new player joins, wants to play a game to check it all out and finds himself waiting for hour(s); he drops and never returns/..

If they are making $40/mo, then they wouldn’t have been on her at $31/mo to begin with. Citing exceptions to generalize is weak (AI trademark).

If you own a business..or three…customer retention and growth are needed. Price drops mean going out of business… like furniture sales where a couch is on sale for only $699 and the profit is -$10. This site has continually added features and content without additional cost…. yet everything in the entire world has gone up, except the number of intelligent people.

Now, new customers…. The younger generation has never heard of Risk. Our kids don’t even play on this site, or chess sites, etc…they are stream gaming and on social media. And you are correct, just the format and look would have them pass on this site and many others with the same format. That’s why marketing is so important , you don’t pass by the CC site, you search for it.So, there are some considerations: Instant satisfaction, competition, mind numbing play (like candy crush and Tetris), social, etc. each category has to be looked at, maybe changed, and most importantly marketed. For example…Think of a 45 year old with a 3000+ CC rating on tik tok calling out these young snowflakes with no brain and telling them if them want real comp, come see him on CC.
