It's a classic business strategy mate that should be common sense lol and it has nothing to do with a "small sub base"



actually no ive been playing games a long time, and ive never ever ever seen a mmo discount there price before it launches, there is absolutely no reason to do that whatsoever as long as your meeting your expectations.

Only in a skewed market with prevailing circumstances far beyond what would be considered a 'control' -- ie, far beyond normal (even unhealthy-normal yet prevailing) market forces. Typically, a discount isn't applied to anything until the first wave of adopters has come through because that's the maximization of profit stage. Any profit afterwards is reduced by the cost of the discount minus any net alterations in production or supplier/distributor deals. Doesn't mean it's bad news, but neither is it 'common sense'.

I say that as most likely cause i may really enjoy beta, but so far just looks like more of the same standard mmo 1-50 do some dungeons at end game blah blah.


Right. Unlike, say, Guild Wars 2 where you can do 1-50 then at end game do some dungeons or pvp. Totally different. -.-

Not even done downloading the damned thing and it's depreciated! I knew I should have just waited a couple months like with Rift and it would have been on Steam for $7.49, FtP in 6 months..

I joke!

There's a discount? I haven't preordered yet... If there is a discount I guess it's best I do it now.

I have. I wasn't impressed, but I accept that you weren't intending to promote it here. It was just your reasoning that threw me, that's all. =)

i dont know how long this discount has been going on, but i preodered after the second beta and it gave me 10 dollars off the collectors editons as a "discount" so its probably been going for a while.

To be honest I don't care at all. They want to bring in more players from a discount then so be it. I have ordered when it just came out in the En Masse store and I am still a satisfied paying customer, this doesn't mean that En Masse is failing. Congrats to those who are able to purchase them for less. ^^

In before a sudden spike of 'cancellations' immediately followed by new purchases. =D
