Well... I think I have given up on MO for now... No way I am going to buy any game for that much....
/sarcasm on
Time to go to my messiah and lord Barack Hussein Obama and ask him for a bailout... Please help me my savior and lord, I will worship you always for some money for MO!
/sarcasm off
Seriously though, this is an insane price...

It is pretty pricey but those are prices that include shipping. Wait for the digital download and you can get it for around $50.
I agree 100%. Total cost for any guy in the EU for the normal boxed version will be 90.69 euros.
1 box (68.69 EUROS) + shipping (7 EUROS) + 1 month (15 EUROS) = 90.69 euros in total.
That's twice the ammount of a normal MMO. And this game is still in very early beta.
75 USD with shipping included for the regular box is expensive from Sweden to USA?
Wait for Digital Download mate, it'll be cheaper.
Wrong.
54.95 Euros for boxxed version, INCLUDING shipping, no monthly fee till launch.
75$ including shipping. I bought it, just seen the charges, shipping included.
Very expensive.
I crapped myself.
Then paid.
Block one ftw.
Hope it's worth it.
It's a bit high... but only a bit, but I think you're also paying for the exclusivisity. lol is that even a word?
i do international shipping weekly. shipping is stupid expensive to and from some countries.
Think about the 1000 life time membership ones on eBay $650USD quite abit good cause but is the game good?Tell me about it
.
Like pong i keep bouncing back and forth between games.
If this game sucks i will laugh my ass so hard.
But since im smart.. i wont be paying that much for a beta game... no sir.. no sir.
I will wait till the game is out and see if people cry or cheer the game
If you watch The Karate Kid backwards it's about this karate champ that just kinda slowly becomes a pussy and ends up moving back to Jersey
The word is Exclusivity - The state of being exclusive.
Exclusivity for what????? For playing a beta game??? Lol..
No way jose im paying more than 70$ for a beta.. lol
No one even know how the game will be, there are only "expectations"
Learn from past mistakes.. Cmon, how many games have told us they are the one revolutionary MMO.. and ended up being false
Not saying this one will be that one.. but i just say "We will see..."
So i will wait for people to waste their time on the game.. if the game rocks im sure the price will have to go down eventually.
If it sucks..
i win

All MMOs are more expensive to preorder or buy just after launch, my friend payed $100 for Wow just after launch (that was at a store however).
But do full loot cost extra money ????
It would seem I'm a glutton for punishment. I managed to get an LE reserved but it won't take my card. I am stuck in the straight up limbo mess that many others over at MO are in.
I don't know if I've purchased it or not ........

Hmmm wonder if AV is doing their billing, seems to ring a bell.
First you get more in TheFullLootBag.
And you misuynderstand, there was ONE on eBay sold with Life time sub. there are now 999 that have 1 month free, no freakin vacation package, but all the expensive extras, and a chance at first slot into Beta test.
Complaining you pay $100 for a game, true, but youalso get a art book probably sold for at minimum $29.99, the full loot bag itself $5, and 2 miniatures, which are not cheap, each worth around $12-$19 (x2 and maybe worth more if they are limited release) I bet you could sell the miniatures or paint them and keep as a great look, thats if they are limited run they are wortth more fore collectors.
and we also get a metal box, which will look cool to have around.
If the game rocks, then the price will only go up. It may be $100 now, but it will probably be 3-4 time that when released. I got a discount, you will be ripped off.
Wow. I'm embarrased to think I defended this game. Something smells mighty fishy. Think I will wait for the reviews. I'm no where near that desperate for a game.

Lol ........ AV had no problem what so ever taking my money.
I do believe it is the same company dealing with the purchases however. GlobalCollect or something like that .....

This is the most retarded shit I've ever heard.
The fact that a bunch of you people are actually paying this insane amount for a beta is laughable. You are the reason companies keep pulling bs like this, and it'll never end while there are still chumps ready to lay their money down on nothing.
I thought I was dumb for putting 5 dollars down to preorder war to beta test, but this takes the cake...
A fool and his money are easily parted, seems like a true statement here.
The sleeper awakes...and rides his dirtbike to the mall.
Is that an old cut and paste from the DF forum?
Anyways, the game exist. Warhammer did exactly the same thing. But that it is not vaporware doesn't mean it is good, I will wait until after release myself.
From now on I will just be in MMOs at launch with games from Bioware and Arenanet. Maybe from Blizzard also if they make a game I feel like playing, Warcraft 3 and Diablo 1 was the last 2 I liked and Morhaime is the only one left since then, at least almost.
I dont want to spend another six months in a truly buggy game that launched too early again and most MMO companies releases like that.
SV makes very little money on LE/box they have to do these first for us.
Wait till digital. it will be liek 40 eurps. much cheaper. thats also where SV makes there money
But you won't get to first beta blocks, instead you will be in bottom. Plus in site there was clearly telled that you can buy 3 different versions, Digital, Boxed, Limited, BUT you can't. Instead it's over 100 euros for limited which are sold out, 69 euros for boxed which includes shipping country next to sweden. Bit too much for my taste.
If the game rocks, then the price will only go up. It may be $100 now, but it will probably be 3-4 time that when released. I got a discount, you will be ripped off.
So you are saying good games raise their prices??? Im sorry to tell you thats not true.. supply and demand
The price of most good games go down eventually. supply and demand...
Examples:
World of warcraft..
Final fantasy XI
Bioshock
Gears of war
Starcraft
Diablo
Fallout 1,2,3.
And the list goes on and on and on...
No game price goes up :P saying the game will be 400$ when released is the most retarded thing i have ever read on this forums. good jiob
But going back to the topic lol.. i also felt bad when i payed 5$ just to try aion beta :P cant imagine paying 70$.. when in some weeks the download version will be 50$... hell maybe 10$ from people that got tired of playing a buggy beta..
I dont care not being in the "first block".. i prefer waiting to play the real game and not a buggy version of the game for their testing purpouses..

For the collectors edition, yes the price does go up if its a popular title after launch, and they happen to be all sold out
Are some of you borderline mental?
Shipping to sweden in a box about the size collectors edition games normally are costs about $20-$30 at the post office. (i ship props to various countries weekly for work)
YOU ARE BUYING A PREORDER, as in you are buying the game....... and as a bonus getting to play beta FOR FREE. They are not charging you a monthly fee to play beta (cough darkfall).
Not to mention you are not being hit with any customs fees.
if you think you are paying $115 for beta, please slap yourself in the face for me. You are buying the game, and paying to have it internationally shipped to your house, so shut up.
