Default Are game managers out of their mind? Totally?

Ok. I signed up for a trial and gor 12 lvl by the second day and decided to buy a game. However i COULD NOT buy this game just because developers make this really IMPOSSIBLE. I like Sony company but sony online entertainment seems to me bogus and lame. Ok here we go:

To buy game from sony account i must pay 39$ for some reason.

To buy game card i must pay 60$$$$$ for delivery

HO DO I BUY THIS CRAP GAME HUH?

The trial is just that: a trial to see if you like the game. You still have to buy it and pay the monthly fee if you decide you like it enough to keep playing.

Do you read what i am writing? I WANT TO BUY A GAME. But it's just UNBELIEVABLE hard to do. Where is the link for $14.99 account?

Station.com asks $39 per month
Game cards are $60 with delivery.

The game itself is not that great, too few players and developers made UNBELIEVABLY hard to purchase the game. Anyway i decided not to play it...

No. Station.com asks for $39 for the GAME. Not for a subscription fee. You don't just start paying a $15/mo. subscription without buying the game itself first. Pay your forty bucks, get your free 30 days, start paying yoru 15/month subscription to keep playing after that first 30 days.

When you get to your Career Trainer in whatever port you choose to moor up in, make sure to train the skill reading comprehension then look at the websites where you purchase the game again.

To be honest, though, the existing community may be better off for this.

Yeah he was a little impatient and needed to read, but I must admit the sony station thing is crap. The menus make near no sense and its not clear if you get 30days when you buy or not etc....

All it does is ask for payment ask for payment ask for payment

Buy a game huh? We are in 2008, not 2000 already. Warhammer online, WOW, EVE, NOONE asks to BUY nowadays. Maybe they want to deliver me a box game? And i should wait for a box for a week?

I swear PotBS managers DO NOT play mmorpgs, othervise they would not develop a game for... 5 FIVE!! years or even more that noone want to play. Also their UNBELIEVABLE price of $39 to START will kill their game. NONE! will pay this fee to start except dedicated geeks and fans. Cmon guys, are you kidding me?

You think you are smarter than others? I really doubt.

If this is a special trick not to pay $39 in the beginning i wll try it out... one day... maybe. Actually i was very disappointed with so low players quantity.

May i ask developers - why 4 servers are up if you can't fill even 1?

Stop trolling. WoW makes you pay 20 bucks for classic (comes with free 30 days) and 40 bucks for Burning Crusade authentication, and when WotLK drops you'll pay 40-50 bucks for it, too.

The first two sentences if this last post make your trolling obvious - reign it in a bit next time, k?

I paid $50 for Warhammer Online, and so did everyone else. It's quite normal.

And no, you don't neccesarily get a box, unless that's what you bought.

everyone asks to BUY nowadays, its how they make money.


link me a place where i can get a WAR trial and then just pay them 14.99 and not have to shell out 50.


and it better be legal.







and when you are buying it off of station.com you are not buying a box. its a download.

direct2drive and steam have made a killing offering the exact samething for other games. even gamestop is starting it for some titles.

you BUY the game but dont have to leave your house.

quite convenient given the lack of PC games at most stores nowadays.


oh and if you really want a box, my local bestbuy has 2.

so let me get this right, ur complaint is that you have to buy the game from the people who have spent years and years and lotsa lotsa dosh making the game.

Makes perfect sense to me, we should get everything for free, who cares about the people who work hard to make the stuff, i want it free.

Note - im being sarcastic, thought i should tell you to make sure you know
