Let's look at the math, shall we?
Using the combination packages provided on the subscription page. A new player could spend 44 dollars and get the combined gold/vip for 12 months.
So $44.00 = 12 months.
Since we know that 12 months includes 365 days, let's divide the amount that we get by how many days we get to play.
$44.00/ 365 days = about 12 cents per day. (do the math yourself, it's a long decimal number, since we're dealing with money I rounded up).
So let's get the amount you spend per hour.
$.12 / 24 hours = 1 cent per hour. (rounded up of course)
So if we go with that subscription plan, you are basicly spending 1 cent per hour.
6 months of Gold + Classic = $.00625/hour
12 months of Gold + Classic = $.0041666666~/hour
12 Months of Gold + Classic + VIP = $.005/hour
Now you see what the actual costs are per hour from what you are currently paying. After you've thought on that, consider how much money that would need to be charged per hour to create a profit. You would not be paying $.005 $.006 or $.004 per hour under that type of pricing model. Probably not even 12 cents per hour either.
This isn't a cell phone plan guys, you're actually getting a pretty awesome deal. |
