Record profits last year, yet you increase prices.
Short-term corporate greed, you will most likely lose some of the returning players and new players.
Yet again, Canada, Australia and the UK have huge discounts compared to people who play from the Eurozone. Even USA who previously was the most expensive is now cheaper than the Eurozone. Sweden will probably be as cheap as Canada again.
According to Google today
9.49 EUR = 9.49 EUR
6.99 GBP = 8.03 EUR
11.99 CAD = 7.71 EUR
13.49 AUD = 8.48 EUR
10.99 USD = 8.91 EUR
I mean, you pay 23% more in the Eurozone than in Canada.
The 12 month package makes the relative difference even bigger.
In GBP, you pay for 9 months.
In USD, 9.1 months.
In AUD, 9.23 months
In CAD, 9.42 months
In EUR, 9.38 months
GBP and CAD are now pretty much the same, EUR is still 23% more.
Bond Prices:
USD and EUR are pretty much the same, much more expensive that the other currencies.
GBP is much cheaper, followed by CAD and then AUD.
EUR is 24% more than GBP.
Why?
+1. It almost is as if the infamous 51,9% is more like 70 or 80% amongst those deciding which currency conversion rates to use.
This game is an addiction of sorts to me, so I'm likely going to try to keep my current grandfathered rate going - through buying bonds with gp ingame as much as possible, with a credit card subscription as a back up. The new rates are perilously close to the "pain treshold" for me. Should it ever happen that I accidentally lost the rate, it would be difficult to convince me to pay the new rate! Hopefully the bond in-game prices will come down at some point, they are likely to climb to ridicilous sums this summer.
