Price Changes: Can we talk? :o) (Community)
Price Changes: Can we talk? :o) // Communitylady judeJan 3, 2002, 1:39am
My concerns are the price increases to come (not mentioned) in the long
newsletter that for some strange reason was not sent out to user via email, but masked in a IO message? How many merchants put a product on the shelves without a price tag attached? That is exactly what is happening here. When the 3DHomepages went into action and the owners had no idea what the cost would be until a few days before renewal that was almost unforgivable, but realized it must have been a rush job so blew it off. Now we are hit with a 1 day notice for tourists (at least with some info about costs/500% increase) and a month alert to current citizens with no details on cost? This is akin to price gouging/war profiteering during a time when we have a very untidy real world to cope with. Protests, coups and rebellions and a whole lotta very angry good people in VR should not be an issue, but due to the way this was presented to us it is a real mess. What I am not reading in the *non standard* sent newsletter are what will the world costs be, will the citizenships associated with worlds be affected, etc. If AW is able to pull this off my suggestion would be to hire a Marketing expert and a PR professional (not just programmers) to keep the community that may or may not still exist informed in a timely and honorable manner about changes. Work with us Rick :o) We are not children and do not like to be treated as children. I am confident that most citizens would be up for an increase, but not of this magnitude. dotar sojatJan 3, 2002, 4:01am
Aye, I also would be willing to pay a "fair" increase for my
citizenships. [View Quote] > Well said, Jude. > > <snipped> moff piettJan 3, 2002, 5:58am
Uhg, you want them to hire MORE people to their bloated staff? That's
where this problem comes from anyways. Too many costs, not enough income. So rather than streamline their management, they thin out their income... good plan. anduin lotharioJan 3, 2002, 8:21pm
Notice she said not so many programmers.
