I understand qwert's point... for me its close to $160 of my currency so its more difficult to afford. Others will be in a similar position. But it is a good price for what you are getting, especially if you compare to other gaming sites

First of all this guy is an idiot or a 12 year old that does not know how to go out and work and save his $25.00.

I think non premium's get an unreal deal. I think they should get their 20 games and then have to pay to play. The problem with that is they would just create more non premium memberships accounts.

25 is so reasonable for a very well run web site.

I agree... what you get as a non premium is great.... and as i said before the price is good for what you get.

American? so? I'm a college student, that's still a lot of money to me.

I think for unlimited games---$25 a year is more than reasonable. Say you play 500 games in a year. You just paid $.05 for every game, and probably tens and tens of hours of fun---better than spending $8-12 at a one time movie, or $10-20 at a bar in a college town. ;)

Geee....an American college student then just skip buying that next 30-pack, or 3 or 4 packs of smokes, and there's your $25. Otherwise if you do not succumb to either of these nasty habits then simply look around the campus for some empties, at 5 cents a can you only need to collect 500 empties, at a college this should be simple enough.

I think the 25 Dollar price is really rezonable. It aint that much. Dont lower it. Or higher it.

I think, 25$ is a fair price for premium, and 0$ is also a very good price for freemium. I'd even pay the 25$, but I would spend too much time on CC as premium..

That's often the case. But i think the price is good. Plus you can't beat what you get for free!

I don't think it was meant that anyone at a university drinks often. Rather, some people at any university drink often.

If you are on a college campus, then you must agree it would not be hard to collect empty cans. This is true in many places other than colleges campuses as well of course.

Lets all remember the OP is from Hungry. In some countries $25.00(US) is a lot of money. Cut some slack, but it will not be changing.

I play and chat about an hour every morning and an hour at night. Thats 14 hours in one week or 728 hours a year. I'd say $25 is way more than reasonable.

And this also includes soda cans as well which I'm sure are plentiful at any college, not just party schools.

Also shouldn't you be focusing on your studies and not some on-line game??? That's why your parents sent you there and bought you that computer.

Being on an international platform, I can see the problem.

In some countries $25 is 2 weeks wages.

Who here would pay 2 weeks wages for premium?

Can't really suggest a solution though, subsidising the third world would be messy and complicated.

If someon interested,i can give some info what you can buy for this money in mine country(example for 25$ you can buy over 45 beers 0,5l)-( 52 bread 500gr).(157 eggs)
foreigner can buy food and drink for very small ammount of money.
If you get salary in USA of 1000$,in mine country you can live very good. ;)

I think he means old copper tubing, just find a recently abandoned house, or just one that's vacant, or maybe even under construction. Then just start cutting out all the copper pipes you can find, sledgehammering walls is the best way to locate these. Also make sure the water is off or be prepared for a shower. Some construction sites may actually have stacks of these pipes laying around just for your convenience. :P :P :P :lol: :lol:
