Okay this might sound a bit odd with the fact that AOC needs every little bitt that it can get to keep going.
Funcom after all this time your ability to keep up with the demands the community of Age of Conan wants.
Your marketing team or billing team really need to revise on Time vs cost.
A good example to those of you on the AOC team would you walk into a consignment shops and expect to pay full retail on something used.
Or A used car would your dealer expect you to pay the same price for used as you would pay new. Probably not.
So cutting to the point. Age of Conan really is not new. An the content you guys put out is very time consuming on your end and you expect the players
to stay in a game where they may have grinded out hours of gear on a few characters already. Than you expect that your In-game shop is doing well and
it selling things. An now recently you release very little content and expect to make 15 bucks.
I am surely not going to renew my subscription and pay for new content and 15 usd is just to much for what you produced. But that is my opinion. If your going to be charging for new content when it
comes out. That seems by other post not the way to go.
As for me I find subscriptions just way to much after playing for years. An on a personal opinion yes I love playing age of conan. But now it just matter off choice and really my choices are I play when I feel
I want to pay the subscription cost. An that maybe the same for others. If the subscription cost was cheaper. Lets Say 7.99 a month. I am not looking at the sub cost. But cutting in possible by 15% or 1/2
could possibly sell off better.
I know every company works differently. But your partner with EA for TSW and When their origin client messes up. Just for the inconvenience they reward their player with 15% off to their next purchase.
Age of conan Maybe a MMO and your marketing may be how it works in the MMO thoughts. But if you look at your competitions selling tactics. What would you do to keep money flowing. With this recent content
release 15 dollars even though you can play it after payment. Why has that not happen with ROTGS. We all payed for that. You have ill tactics to sell your game and they do you more harm then Help.
I can only hope someone there at Funcom Marketing get a bit wise and tires to stop pulling in every last dollar and get smart. See that reduction on prices could sell more subscriptions and you can only hope Vets see the
reduce prices and if they are good enough. You could draw back old community to do Content on toons they never played. From my Opinion. I feel prices is a bit much for a game with slow content production.
