I will start out by saying whoever designed the pricing sistem is a/are complete tool(s).
When i registered i had to select my country and it wasn't in the list so i ended up leaving it on the UK only to find out later i have to pay in Pounds witch is about 3 times more expensive than my own currency since the average wage in my country is about 110 euro per week ( 450 a month) .
For a new player that registers it doesn't state anywhere you in what currency you are supposed to pay i am sure if people knew this they would pick the lowest one ( probably USD ) and even that is pretty pricy but more affordable i mean come on 20 USD compared to 20 Pounds thats over 50% more expensive.
So why rip off people and charge them more for the exact same thing compared to other people why discriminate and have only a couple countries listed from that you can register , this is unprofessional to an extreme especially for a F2P game. I enjoyed the game up to lvl 10/11 but i am running out of space and i will never buy the civ pack at this price so i will end up leaving and other players like me will do the same.
There are a lot of other better games out there that aren't complete assholes to spend money on. Money is different in every country but value should always be the same everywhere.
Why do you have to pay in pounds?
geee I don't know... maybe because you picked UK
as for your country not be on the list, well if its not there it means it means it's not supported and it's ilegal to lie about your infomation online AND you just put that out in the open on a microsoft forum.
*slow clap*
|||@ jack pipsam that's rather stupid tbh, he just wants to play he can't help it his country isn't supported...
@ OP, Just try to sort this out with customer support, or select a country that shares your currency. Where you from? South Africa or something?
I dont claim to know the ToU in and out but cant find anywhere about that its 'illegal' to not choose the correct country (which is not even on their list)
Closest I can find is about billing that you agree to keep your billing current at all times (which I believe can be changed if you log into your Live ID)
|||I'm from Europe , but that is irrelevant . I won't contact support because this is just embarassing and unprofessional they obviously don't take their customers seriously if they decide to fix it good for them...
@ jack , sir you are stupid and have no idea what the word FREE means in F2P . And whos at fault i can't fill in my real country me or the people who designed all this put your thinking cap back on.
Also for those who will come in saying the game is F2P to spare me the time to type later here it is.
"Free-to-play can be compared topay-to-play, in which payment is required before using a service, andfreemium, a more general term and abusiness modelin which a product is offered free of charge while a fee is charged for users to access premium features."Freemiumis abusiness modelthat works by offering a game, product or service free of charge (such as software, web services or other) while charging a premium for advanced features, functionality, or related products and services.
GamePro had stated, in response to the costs, that "AoEO is the most expensive mediocre RTS ever made, defeating the entire purpose of taking the series free-to-play.
Is it me or is there Most expensive and Free in the same sentence .
