Been trying to get Level 1 members interested, but most seem to already have it. I'm offering invites to the general public, now. It's 8 dollars a month, and a good service. You get your own email, and it's not so bad. Good spam filter. Free scratch card each week, you're guarnteed to win something with each card. Beta-test up and coming games.... trophy hunters, this gives you extra time to practice. Super Shop Wizard! At your customizable portal, you get access to the Super Shop Wizard. Instead of having to refresh dozens of times, you'll get the lowest of prices the very first search. This lets you cut your prices accurately, and snipe effectively. If you're interested, please PM me with your Neo user name and I'll send you an invite. If you have questions, please ask them here.
The only problem I see with it is that once enough people are on board, they'll nix the "free" part of neopetting altogether. So, for the same reason I refuse to use self-checkout at grocery stores & push my cart far across the parking lot instead of putting it away for them, No Thank you.
I don't think they'd do that. People would see "Subscribe to Neopets!" and think, wtf would I want to pay for that for? It's a kids game! If anything, they'll leave regular Neo around and just focus on Premium benefits. Make it so you'd have to pay for a real upgrade to your playing.
Don't forget if you get frozen with Premium call Neopets and have your Premium terminated b/c they will keep charging you for the e-mail address.
When frozen, you can still log in through the premium. neopets .com. From there you can change your billing settings: Just remove your information, they'll send a bill to nothing. S'what I did when I canceled Premium.
Brother Man, I don't know what you do for a living but allow me to give you a glimpse into the mind of corporate America... not only will they take away free neopetting if enough people join but, once free neopetting is done with, your highly acclaimed Premium will become a whole lot less "premium". Now "premium" is the norm, so how do we squeeze even more money out of these suckers? Release so many attractive items/goodies (of all sorts) that can only be had by purchasing NeoCash to the point where now the so-called "Premium" users feel like they're being left behind. Expansion packs/lands that are only attainable with some new upgrade (Neopets Ultra?). And probably more ideas that I can't even begin to imagine. For example: Basic cable w/ "premium" channels like HBO becomes basic cable *HBO included* with an additional "premium" package that will give you 200 extra channels and don't forget the extra sports packages and pay-per-views. Or a regular friggin everyday DVD that used to have the whole she-bang on it becomes regular DVD, and now DVD "Uncut"s and "Special Edition"s have sooo much more because if they put it all on the basic DVD, well.... they couldn't make more money could they? And that's what it's all about, my friend.
to tell you the truth, i had premium for 2 months and my page loads did seem faster when i would restock and it was worth it with the SSW and everything. but one problem... i got iced during the 2nd month and that was only about 4 days after i got charged so i wasnt too happy about that
do you know if you have to have a credit card on that paypal account though? what i think i could do would be to to sell 2 mil ABed per month to pay for premium, but i don't have a credit card.
When you guys say faster page loads, you're saying they're faster b/c of the no-ads, right? Because if that's the only thing making them faster, just use adblock.
No. So long as your Paypal is verified in some way, you should be able to pay. Or, you can just pay with your Paypal balance.
