Fernando - For example, we already have a change coming for the next patch (as a belated birthday present maybe) which will add 10% boost to all earned XP for VIP accounts.

If FoS implements the 10% it will only work if you haven't drank a potion in three days, otherwise you will be on cool down. OMG HE IS REALLY GOOD AT HIS JOB.

Or it would randomly apply the 10% xp, othertimes it would deduct 10% from your current xp.

See, as a premium player. I really don't feel this. You have to give these idiots something so they don't feel that pissing all this money away is the wrong choice. A bit of me wishes that the whole game culture didn't see acquiring XP as nasty medicine, but that ship sailed long, long ago.

They built a platform where it made zero sense to be VIP - they have to do something, right?

Maybe if you work some extra shifts at Mcdonalds you can afford vip so you aren't so bitter.

If this is going live now, I may be tempted to VIP for a month while I permanently finish my heroic TRing with ottoboxes.

An aside, but unlimited-use XP stones were definitely a short sighted short-term moneygrab. They're making a pile of money right now I have no doubt, but there's more and more people who are never going to TR again and are going to have nothing to do but get burned out on end game. Maybe epic TRs can fix that, who knows.

I've been VIP on my main account for close to 5 years now.  I don't feel like I pissed any money away.  For $10 per month I get a minimum of 40 hours of fun.  Some months it's been 100.  Less than the cost of 1 non-matinee movie.  For what a drink and popcorn costs, I could also have another 2000 TP to play with that month.  40-100 hours of fun > 2 hours of fun.  I'm cool with how much DDO VIP costs vs. other entertainment options.

I don't understand the butthurt on either side of this, and never did since I first started seeing the monthly Premium v.s VIP arguments on the other forum.  I chose Premium because I have a tendency to just quit a job when I get pissed off.  Premium, I don't have to canx the sub when that happens.

I paid more front-loaded, but VIP pays more as time passes.

Same shit, different path.

Ok, ok guys, diplomacy fail on my part, I don't think you're all idiots. Premium works well for me because I can be sporadic and I like that I've just bought the game. I was premium for a long time before going VIP for a couple of years and the MOTU points bundle made it easily the rational decision to pick up the small amount of stuff I was missing. About the only time I have missed it is levelling a first life toon recently and not being able to open elite, but that is nothing more than a minor inconvenience.

Except that you don't own shit. Neither do I. When the servers go down for the last time my premium account and my VIP account "owns" exactly the same amount: jack shit.
