I think it would be a good idea to include some kind of trial subscription.
Something like 9.99$ for 60 days with an option to upgrade to a normal membership for an additional 30$ for 305 days. It would help lure in people who are on the fence about subscribing (like me) but don't want to automatically commit to a full year. 40$ is a big investment for a student!
(that or add a student discount hehe )
Yip - I'd go for that... Not sure if the extras are really worth it. Also, lots of free sites out there. I'm here because I like the interface... but lately I'm thinking of moving.
For $10 for 60 days, I'd be able to see if the extras are worth it.
Good idea...

Ok fine... I will pay $10 for 30 days with the following restrictions:
+ 2 tournaments (which you can complete, even if the time lapse)
+ Sieges - that looks soooo interesting... (you can keep defending if at the top after 30 days)
+ You get an 8 game limit (the extra two is for tournament and player table play)
At the end of 30 days, you can upgrade to full membership by paying the balance.
Originally posted by WumpusI don't think 30 days is enough for CC. I think the tournament limit may be a good idea though. However, an 8 game limit in really not enough either for a paying costumer.

Originally posted by Wumpusyou would pay $10 for an extra 2 games? i think you would be the only one... 20 games seems fairer.
...I'd like to evaluate whether I'd like sieges and tournaments. I can not do that without paying the full amount. With an 8 game limit I'd be able to evaluate immediately, while I'm waiting for more slots to become available
No, I'd pay $10 for 30 days for:
+ the right to play sieges.
+ the right to participate in any tournament.
+ extra 2 games... (but make it extra 6 if you like).
My point is that I cannot evaluate sieges and tournaments without paying the full subscription. Being South-African, the rand is very undervalued - so $40 is quite a lot, but I'm willing to pay it if I like the aforementioned activities.

Originally posted by Wumpuslets say you're already playing 6 games when you sub, do you think an extra 2 games is enough to work out if you like tournaments ans sieges? i don't think so... an average tourney will give you an extra 6 games on it's own.

The one thing we hope to achieve with our subscription model is simplicity.
One fee, "eat all you can". Very difficult to misunderstand that.
Clearly the 6 game restriction is not really going to work with most of the sub only features here, so it has to be a binary "subscriber/not a subscriber" on deciding which features can be used.
Right now, I'm not convinced complicating things will make a huge difference. (And if hundreds of non-subs post in this thread telling me I'm wrong, then yes, I'll accept I'm wrong.)
