Re: SOE Changes Premium Plan [Updates from Smed]


thx mcargo.


A recurring monthly plan.

I'm sorry could you explain the reason why one month memberships through prepaid cards don't get the 500SC? I didn't catch it in the last thread

To put it as simply possible - we want you to commit to a recurring sub to get these benefits. I don't want to sugar coat it. That is straight up why.

Why not just make hoardable "Purchase Tokens" that you can collect once every month? Personally I kind of like the idea of 'buy 1 of anything you want' over saving up the SC. =\

Either way I'm fond of the idea of an all SOE pass for $15/mo.

Just thought.. I would probably buy more armour cosmetics with SC if it was possible to place rank and decal insignia on them.... just a thought...

Im impressed.


Im impressed that players gave strong enough feedback to cause a change.

Im impressed that SOE listened and came to its senses.

I had not considered this, but yes I would assume its included.
Id rather they just switched PS1 off completely though.


The "revised" sub plan is pretty good I think.
Still allows the hoarders to hoard.
Still gives PS2 subs spending power (on everything in the store).
The discount was unexpected.
The "all access pass" is also nice. Means i might actauly have a look at eq next now.

It's good they listen to feedback though. It's just too bad some of their initial ideas are half baked, unpopular and out of left field.
Wonder how many people un-subbed between Plan1 and Plan 2?

The truly half baked thing is SOE treating station cash like a currency conversion rather than an item purchase. When I buy $10 of SC that money is gone, never to used again, it belongs to SOE. Can't be converted, can't be refunded. Thus to the buyer, purchasing SC is a straight up purchase of goods. Yet SOE does not treat it as such, which is really their problem, not ours - customers should not be expected to try and understand the inner workings of a company in order to use the services provided, largely because the customer is not privy to detailed information on the company, but in no small part because it is inappropriate to burden the customer in such a way.

Does McDonald's make customers understand the production chain of a Big Mac meal before selling them the meal? Does anyone do anything similar? Not to my knowledge.

No one cares how SOE handles SC internally. If it's broken for SOE, that's their problem to solve, not the customer's.

However, they had to make a change to the existing plan that they are offering the customer. In turn customers asked questions and raised concerns with the modified offering. This in turn prompted them to let the customer know the inner workings of the station cash inside the company. Also, they modified the new offering because many were not happy with it.

I totally understand and agree that they need to get the SC system in order, but what Smed said implied that people should feel bad about not spending their SC. That he should have left out.

When I buy SC, I'm buying SC, not the stuff I trade the SC in for.
