Found another box of old Stormreach game boxes. I have more codes to sell;
30 day vip codes $8
PM me your paypal -> i'll send you an invoice
you pay the invoice -> I email the code.
So I can pay $96 for 12 months with you or $99 for 12 months with Turbine.
Pros:
I save $3
Cons:
You might rip me off. (Using paypal protects from this to some degree)
The codes might not work (a variation on the above, but one where you are on the up-and-up, they just don't work anymore, unbeknownst to you)
Turbine gets no benefit from my $96 bucks. You do. If I am spending almost $100 on the game, I'd like it to fund current development and add to Turbine's bottom line so that the game is more healthy.
My personal take: The risk being assumed and the loss of support for the game is a lot to give up for $3. If these were $5 for 30 days, then it would be worth the extra risk, effort, and good enough for me to not care if Turbine is getting any benefit.
