$25 Vip?

Price has jumped up $6, whaaaat? Is it just me or does this seem unfair? Compared to what little VIP does get (now).

** I would appreciate it if moderators could remove/split any posts in/from this thread that are simply flamatory or contribute nothing to the point of this thread, rather than closing the thread itself, danke. **

I am not saying it isn't affordable. I am saying what you get isn't worth that amount of money.

You can do a lot in 24 hours. Plus now there's Zone.

So? Gold got it by paying practically fifty bucks, you got it + other stuff for $20. Don't complain; they're not obligated to give you a Graal 3D preview at all.

I'm not arguing with you on that point. Things could definitely be shifted around to make VIP more appealing. I'm just mocking the people who whine about a $6 increase as if unix is personally banging their girlfriends or something. It's really not that big of a deal; it's $6.

Well think about VIP you need Classic 20$, then gold 20$, finally VIP 26$ They pay 50 we pay 66 your point is?

Zone doesn't appeal to everyone, yes that is a player's decision, but it lessens the worth of VIP to the end user. Technically no, CyberJ is not obligated to provide a preview of Graal3D, however, it was 'promised' to them[1] as VIP preview, which did not happen. Sure, the preview is open now, but it is open to Gold as well, which does not foot the bill. Again, this is not about affordability, this is about wether it is worth the money or not.

Actually anyone can make a global guild. I made one before I got VIP (btw it needs members-Dark Magicites )

Not many people are going to be on graal for that 24 hours. Pus zone doesnt do anything on saturdays for VIP.

Gold got it and much more, basically anythign VIP can get, except better in most cases. Name one thing that VIP gets other than the original 30 person beta that gold doesnt. If they didnt give VIP the preview, they would actually be lieing, since when you join VIP it says you get to test previews.

Quote:

Again gold gets much more for that price, and it's worth it. The main point there
is that VIP isnt getting anything special. Want to come up with a cohesive argument?

No comment :Whatever:

That's not the fault of Graal, though, that's the fault of the servers. Don't rail on global administration for the faults of local administration.

The same is true for any MMO with a PVP element. You have to suck it up and deal with it, dude. Again, that is NOT the fault of the administration, so don't lay the blame at their feet.

Or you can buy Gold for $50-odd and then when Gold runs out just keep a VIP account. That's what I did. Yes, in your analogy VIP is in fact more expensive, but it's not meant as a "Buy a straight up VIP account." thing, it's an add-on/renewal thing for when your Gold runs out or if you want the minimal features that Gold doesn't offer.

Debatable on the content front.

The point of a business is to make money. They are raising prices more than likely because they need to so that they can keep in business and keep providing the service you are utilizing. Stuff it.

Yeah, the Graal 3D Preview was promised to VIP members. On the other side of that, nothing ever said that it would be exclusively VIP.

It's the concept that they're raising a price when nothing extra was given.

They might be charging for the webspace that comes as a VIP extension. Not everything is free.

Ok that is understood. Now they should have a option if you want it. If not. Then pay the 19. If you want it, pay the 26
