EAGLER,
I am sorry, but I have to think in terms of reality. I currently pay, you're correct, $9.95/mo for AW which equates to $120.00 per year less 60 cents. I have to think in terms that if I drop AW it will still be an additional $240 per year.
For me that is expensive, and given the time I would be able to commit to the game is, in a word, prohibitive.
I truly and seriously enjoyed my two weeks!! But, I regret at the current price I will be unable to participate.
As for Viper, I cannot speak for him. I saw what I saw in his post. Sometimes we need to look beyond the surface of what someone has typed and read objectively to find what is truly bothering someone.
Yes you can say "Don't like it don't buy it." But, that doesn't do anything to solve the underlying issue, which I saw as disparaging prices.
I think RAS pointed to this as well. Although, I would probably tell the grocer to go &%$#@ himself and buy my bread at 7/11.
We, or you, do not have that luxury. This is one of the best sims I've seen in my almost four years of flying sims, well AW anyway.
It has the most interactive support I've seen (very refreshing).
Is it worth $30 per month?? It probably is, only HTC can answer that correctly.
Should everyone pay the same price for the same service?? Well, this is not a Socialist (yet) or Communist State. So again, only HTC can answer. I think, in fairness, if everone is receiving the same service they should pay the same prices, whatever that may be.
Thanks for listening
(reading actually)
