Prices
Is it me or have the PA crew/Jolt gone nuts?
a Usual round now costs £10
For the 'full monty'
You get
£7 for two rounds
£6 for a speed PA
Does this seem a little harsh to you, or is it just me?

Arguing over a couple of pounds for what technically is about the same cost as a 2ltr bottle of coca cola compared to normal.
Shame on you

Sorry dear!

P.S Mongo, this is an online game that will last 3months-4months ish... games that cost £30 have had YEARS of peoples time put into them, aswell as them lasting longer than this game does

Sorry babe  BUT!
Fact: Only 2 people have ever coded before this round
Fact: On major inustry games there can be up to 20 coders working 12hrs a day to code a game!
Fact: On major industry games there have been from 50-200 people working on a single game.
Fact: There has only been 7 people at most working on planetarion (doesnt include people from the community)

Fact: Game has been running for 3 years and u havent been forced to pay more than 30-40$ which means u get 3 years of gaming for the same price as one "real" game..

12 dollars is next to nothing, even for young people. I'm sure most 14 year olds get 12 dollars as pocket money each week. For working people, its hardly anything at all. I don't know what everyone is moaning about, PA is excellent value for money.
Say you play PA for 2 hours a day for 3 months - 180 hours for 12 dollars = 6 cents an hour. How can anyone argue with that??
Go look at other online games like Everquest or DAOC - they charge that much PER MONTH.
PA may have its faults, but price isn't one of them.

Simply put.....it is still not that big a price to pay....I think the only people who need to worry about money are those who are on pay-by-the-minute internet accounts ;-)

Going for full monty, and if i'm honest, when i buy a normal pc game, i get at maximum, 1-2 months of gameplay out of it, sometimes less, with pa u dont get quite as bored (but thats due to the community).

LOL
Are you seriously trying to say that every game you buy lasts you at least a few hours every day for 3 months!
I can only assume you must choose your games very well

And rd 10 will be 15 euros. I can see many people not bothering. In my country 15 euros=$30 That will be a tad expensive for a lot of young kids.

I don't think the prices are bad. Just hope the playerbase will increase or at least not get any smaller, but I have my doubts.

3 to 4 months of fun....my arse!
For most of the player base, for £10 you get 72 hours of fun.
After that you're repeatedly bashed, until you give up, never to log in again.
