yep, i can understand the delays cause of the server problems, but we should have been told the price several days ago even before they had the problems

maybe there are no problems except for the price they havent figured out yet?

I bet PA-Team want to make it 10$ again, but Jolt wants to make it 10 a week :P and PA-team knows what would come, PA's final Coughin-Nail.

It's business sense to increase the prices. Nearly all of us left are 'hardcore' players, and so an we're a price inelastic market, so a price increase would make more money, as not many people wouldnt play, imo.

Wrong!!!

This is capitalism. The lowest prize rules the market, therefore an payment increase would be the defenat Deathstab for PA. What would Spinner want with a 500 Playerbase full of hardcore Geeks. (500 would even be too much)

Star Sphere or any of the other Clones would take over and PA would be forgotten fast. Spinner would be livin on the street eating garbage and we would all have a life again

PLEASE INCREASE THE PRIZES!!!!

hehe, it will most likely be the same as last round..and I dont think there is any reason to rise it for this round..I am willing to accept a smal raise for round 10 though(if it will be as great as they say)

Calibretto - if thats true, why isnt SS the front runner now? its free afterall, yet people keep coming back here.

It is business sense, you obviously dont grasp it tho.

fun factor

Hey guys which would you rather play? A free game that pretends to be like planetarion, like star sphere, or ******** which died anyway or planet harvest which never got off the ground and probibly never will. these games suck... Or PLANETERION, the original, the origin of the species of space based war games, the game people try to copy with dissasterous results, I'm telling you Ive tried other games out there, and nothing compares to PA. Myself I would play it at twice the price and alot of you would too,so don't fool yourself if it goes to 15 to 20 dollars alot of you would still play,because of the comunity and the chance to meet new people,and the shere enjoyment of the game. Its a good time and you know it...

Everybody say a prayer for our astronauts who died this morning in the space shuttle columbia, it broke apart on re-entry over texas.

Actually SS and hmm for example WSA are not that much behind planetarion anymore. And I would choose SS with 20k players over planetarion with 4k players anytime....

i played the origonal rounds before they introduced the charge to let you play, i still want to play as it was gret fun but cant due to 1. geting some way to pay (i dotn have credit cards or anything suitable) 2. getting cash anyway,

im thinking of trying a clone version just so i can play something similar (and not as good) but free

You could try paying 10euro/dollar to someone with a CC to pay for you. Most peope without a CC still know people that do posses one.
