ich habe den nachfolgenden Beitrag im offiziellen HG:L Forum erstellt, darin geht es um die ungleiche Abrechung von US Accounts und europäischen Accounts, der Rest ist nur ein bisschen Kritik am Spiel selbst
Hier der englische Text:
European players, cash cows for FSS?
Dear Mr. Roper,
(or to whom it may concern)
thx for developing Hellgate:London, it’s a nice game, it could be good, but it isn’t.
Actually I don’t want to talk about the bug’s and the laggy servers, I want to talk about the costs of game for Europeans.
1 Euro is 1,45 $ worth, today, OK let’s make it 1,40$ for a long time view.
The game cost about 55 Euro (as seen on the EA website), I bought it for 47 Euro, what means I spent 65,8 $ for it. In the US it cost 47 $, as seen at amazon.com, what means 18,80 $ more for Europeans.
What do I get for it? A buggy game, laggy servers, only 3 char-slots online, no free one month subscribtion, like other MMO’s, no global stash (not even in SP, and there I cant mule, because you think, it is to dangerous to implement a LAN feature)
Well, you’re right, I could subscribe. Let me have a look at the costs for us poor old European guy’s.
Monthly: 9,99 Euro = 13,99 $ - in the US 9,95 $
4 $ more, than a player in US has to pay for, why?
OK, my favorite was the lifetime elite account, therefore I preorderd the game, after I read, that it will cost 130 $, what is in Euro 92,86. OK make it 100 Euro, doesn’t matter. But, after release, I’ve to read, that it cost 139,95 Euro, that’s 195,93 $
65,93 $ more, than a player in US has to pay for, why?
And what do I get for the money? How long will a lifetime elite account last? 18 month, 24 month, who knows? I can’t find a page, where I get the information, how long FSS guarantee the existing of my account.
You gave me time untill November the 30th to buy a lifetime elite account, well, I give you the time to reduce the costs for Euroean players and to assure me, that the game is worth it.
So my request to you (or FSS) is, the adjustment of the costs, for US players and European players.
Kind Regards from good old Europe
R.
