Hold on let me counter-argue this, internet style.
[Insert my family anecdote and how my parents did the same thing and both my older brother and sister didn't care]
So I am right because my highly specific anecdote says otherwise.
No I see his point, it's just an emotional "I want something other people got" argument. It's not logical and you are the ones who keep trying to provide some kind of "proof" that you are right.
You are not right. Everybody gets the same deal. I don't think I have ever said you have no right to be annoyed about it, or even to express it. Just please stop trying to present it as anything more than "I want something more than other people are getting because I was here earlier".
Yeah, so calling something a "fact" when it is emotion based really doesn't make it so.
And as I pointed out, his analogy is flawed because you can start a char at 1 whenever you like in AoC. Children can't however, reduce their ages.
If you really don't get this sum
NEW PLAYER LEVELING TO 80 = OLD PLAYER LEVELING TO 80
then there is nothing more to say.
Again, we are looking into this because some of you are annoyed. But read through this thread...4-6 people maybe? Most of the posts are yours, and to be honest the forums contain a very small percentage of population.
HOWEVER, it is ludicrous to think anybody would cancel their subscription because the new deal is better for new players than the old deal was. We're talking about a scale of positivity here. Something is "slightly better" for vets and "much better" for new players. Oh no, I have to cancel my account.
I can confirm that we have not seen an increase in cancellations since we improved the subscription deal. And an upswing in subscriptions
Kurt, at this point I feel like *I* am trolling you, so I won't post in this thread again because frankly we don't agree and nothing I say seems to help plus it isn't really worth spending my free time on.
