Another rip off for EU players… US players will pay 14.99$ which is 9.80 euros or £7.70 only per month. Shame on EA!
£10.31 a month !? This has to be a joke surely? At £8 I might have given it a go but it’s obvious we are being fleeced here. The price in the EU should be the same as in the US. I’ll stick with WoW and wait for the Lich King.
[...] less than a month to go prior to its scheduled release date, I have taken up the mantle once again of giving my impressions on what Warhammer Online will have [...]
World of Warcraft is £8.99 a month and Eve-Online is €14.99 ,roughly £12,it too charges less for american subscribers.
huh stupid piece of crap it looked really good and my friend said it was gonna be cheaper than WoW obviosly a rip off i dont believe i stopped WoW to wait for this and there is nt even a demo cd like LOTR
Fucking hell!
that’s just a tad bit hard ain’t it?
If they keep that up they ain’t gonna have anyone playing.
was actually looking forward to this game.
relax people, dont get so down about the price
Try it.. if the game is worth the money then play it..
otherwise just keep doing the same thing in WoW and pay the same prices
simple
I don’t really see the big deal about prices for online games that much >.> (even though I am an American) Can’t you guys spend that easily by going out to eat at once? With how often people play games (Most of the time) I think they are getting their money’s worth either way..
I think it could be perceived as unfair. €13 is more than $13, and people generally don’t like paying more for the same thing. Or sometimes less, in terms of customer service, etc.
As Mark says however, players should give it a go and determine on their own whether or not the game is worth the money. It’s pretty standard nowadays that MMOs come with a 30 day playtime included in the box-price.
I agree, the US stuff is ALWAYS more expensive than any EU stuff. Also, anyone know if the US game cards work for the EU subscription?
