Lifetime subs may sound like a bargain but there's got to be good business sense behind offering such a thing. What happens if the only users that remain after 2 years, 3 years, 4 years or even 5 years are lifetime subs users who only paid the equivalent of a years subs for their lifetime subscript...

Lifetime subs would act as a disincentive to actually update the game. They might make the company more money than normal subs, but only if people over-estimate how long they will play for. They could allow you recover say 25% of the sub if you decide to end it within 2 years to help with that effec...

8. Yes, I prefer email over telephone calls. It has nothing to do with being friendly, it’s about efficiency.

Well, the only connection to daoc for me is this forum ... and the house I periodically log on to keep the rent paid for .

I spent all OOTI's bounty points on keep upgrades ... or maybe that was just RF's.
