$22.50

[Grogthurk]

Dear Jagex,

 

 

 

Thank you for not accepting my debit card online. WoW was more than happy to take it, same with the 'x' amount of websites that I bought t-shirts from. But for some cosmic reason, you choose to hate me.

 

 

 

After calling my bank I found out that the only way I can fix this issue is if I get a new debit card. The only problem with that is, that I would have to cancel my current debit card and wait a week for the new one.

 

 

 

So I'm stuck paying by cash.

 

 

 

I could F2P, but you created a game that has enabled me to rely solely on Member's items and skills. In fact, I can't even think of what I would do dropping 466 items so I could F2P bank.

 

 

 

You have me sucked into your trap Jagex.

 

 

 

But that's okay. The 6 dollars or so a month is worth the extra bank space and actually being able to play a game. In fact, the price is so minimal that I don't feel obligated to play everyday.

 

 

 

But thanks for making a 90 day Runescape card $22.50 at my local target.

 

 

 

Why would you do this to me?

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Christian

Not really upset, but I have to wonder why it is so much higher than paying online.

I think it would be Target that set the price.

 

 

 

That and prices vary by the method used.

That's how I got my members, and I was just laughing that I didn't get taxed on it. ( take that society \ )

Man, at least you were lucky, if the cards weren't around, you were stuck with buying from phone or SMS, or send in a cheque. -_-

[Grogthurk]

I'm not really upset.

 

 

 

WoW game cards are only a handful of cents more than buying online, so that's where the confusion stems from.

[Fudgepuppy]

Its all just for profit I'd assume. -.-

[Riptide Mage]

Is $1.33 cents a month more really going to hurt your wallet so badly?

[Grogthurk]

Lawl did you read? It doesn't really bother me, but I just wonder why it is more expensive, when WoW cards aren't.

Basically, this. Since it's a bit more inconvenient for Jagex to use the cash cards (I would think) they might also charge for extra services too, in addition to the cost of the manufacturing/shipping. Of course, I'll bet Blizzard has a lot more money, and a lot more subscribers, so they can afford to hand out their free disc trials and their game cards at no extra cards.
