Price Dropping ...maybe ?
« on: September 06, 2012, 08:42:34 AM »
I've been in Beta for World Of WarBirds and it's very nice, no big maps and 15 mins battles but alots of fun and a ton of planes. I was wondering if any1 has heard if HTC is going to drop monthly price , WOWB will be Prem for $99  year , plus with so many online games now mostly are running $10 a month. I know i could pulls friend here if they dropped price to $10 a month......we can only hope    :airplane:

For all the updates and the customer service around here, i think its worth the extra $5. Keep up the good work HTC!  :aok

if you like it so much, go play it! I think HTC has way more to offer then any goofy, arcade style, poor excuse of a flight sim written by a bunch of russians. id rather support an american based company, thank you very much. have a nice day. YMMV

and why are you bringing this in here anyway? its kinda like selling a dodge at a ford dealership!!

 for everything that they put into making this game/sim for us........$15/month is a steal.

No reason to. The so called competition has not been competitive yet.

The price here is very friendly and the service is second to none.

Seen both World of WarPlanes and World of Planes.  Been with Aces High since 2005....see no reason to switch for those two.  I'd keep AH even if it went UP five bucks a month.   Pretty much the only thing I play anymore other than some Rise of Flight and IL2.

Keep up the great work, HTC.   :airplane:

I remember when AH was free and I remember when it was $30.00, $15.00 is fine.

You know, a subscription to a game is simply our way of supporting the effort that HTC puts forth.  We like his product. We like his service.  We have no problem paying him for it.  To consider cutting the price simply to attract more players does not build a stronger player base, it brings bodies, nothing but bodies who will move on to the next "game" that goes to $9.00 bucks.  That is not a strong base, that is not a loyal base.  Now, consider, if the price changes from $15.00 to $10.00 how many more subscribers have to join the game simply to get back to the income that was generated before?  So we pack the arenas with more people, increase the load on the servers, increase the BS on the forums that has to be managed, and increase the staff to accommodate the influx of new subscribers simply to generate the amount of income that is coming to them now.  And that only happens "if" the population of the game increases by about a third more.  Do you have that many friends? 
So, you have a couple of friends who would come racing here, but simply cannot make the change over $5.00?  Not missing them.
If you like the game, support it.

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Not sure why you all are lashing out at the OP.  He simply stated some things he knows about other games and then posed the question "do you think HTC will drop the price?".  I for one would love if they dropped the price.  I do believe that ~$15/month is a fair price, but if I have to pay less for ANYTHING I am happy 99% of the time.
