Sub offer for a year should come with a free case of beer.
""99 Bottles of Beer" was just taken to new heights, literally.
Austin Beerworks, a local Austin brewery, is offering a 99-pack of their award-winning Peacemaker ale for $99 dollars. The case is called "Anytime Ale."
The beers are packed in a 82-pound, 7-foot long case, most definitely requiring multiple people to take one down and pass it around ... and haul it to the trunk".

I do not know if it is possible for you to do this Tomium....but if it is - could you please remember from this thread (and others along the same theme) that the player base does look for new subscription offers when AoC has their special event content - like Halloween and anniversary and prompt the marketing department in advance to get something out for us.
It does not have to be huge all encompassing offers every time but a set of rolling different sub offers rotating around the different events that are released will help keep players subbed and give f2p an incentive to get a subscription. Christmas is nearly here, so we are anticipating some more holiday madness - I can tell you there will be many many disappointed people if there are not special subscription offers available over the Dec/Jan holiday period. There will also be many disappointed players if the sub offers come in November and are the SAME in Dec/Jan. Players come back to look at the special event content and have some fun for a while - it's our best time to get our old friends re-addicted to the game and get them to take another sub to come have fun with us in premium only areas. Subscribers check for new sub offers when events are released and hold out for them until the events.
I still check the forums every now and then to see if there's any interesting News but usually turn out dissapointed. If a new sub offer was up a month ago when there was some events going on. I'd have re-subbed, probably for another year long period despite my overall lack of interest in the game. Now I'm not interested anymore and will most likely not sub again ever. Just a piece of info for your "marketing" crew and a missed window of opportunity for retaining yet another subscriber. I bet I'm not alone in this particular scenario. You guys are Always 3 steps behind...
