	Quote: ice surprise, already paid for my VIP this month. I wonder what prompted it?� Maybe Turbine is not seeing much ETHW sales?� and they want to try to goose the process.� hmmmmm. It has nothing to do with ETHW sales. I'm sure it has everything to do with the mass exodus of VIPs during the sneak peek of ideas for Update 20. Management needs a quick way to increase VIP, even if it's only temporary, that shows that the game still has a healthy subscription base after that fiasco.

	Still VIP out of sheer laziness and the fact that I'm VIP in $$$ which makes it way cheaper than if I cancel and resubscribe. ( VIP is �� is more expensive than VIP in $$$ despite the change and the Bank cost for the $$$ VIP, for my 6 month plan I pay about 8� less ( after change and bank costs ) that way than if I was on the same Plan in �... That's how screwed Turbine is. ) And I suspect Meursault got it right... They will lower the CoV price to a price that is not totally retarded with U21 that will come a few weeks after this offer ended. ( My guess is 2500, as it's the max that goes in a single stack in a Large Bag )

	I am not VIP - stopped at MOTU because to me it made more sense at that point to spend it there. I knew I was going to play less intensively so wanted a plan that was better for more sporadic play. Having said that, I think it is good that they are trying to offer more VIP perks. If I didn't have altitis i might be tempted to sub. I might anyway, just for the minimum. Anyone know what that is off hamd?

	TBH I have always been amazed at the currency discrepancy between USD/EUR/GBP. I have always leveraged that against my subs, overall it is significantly more expensive to buy in any other currency except USD. The 1 year plan in USD is a bargain really, if you can manage to stop Turbine locking your payments for "alien" cards that is. Most who have played DDO over a long period are semi familiar with Turbine Tactics - it is inevitable that the cost of ETR heart will be reduced, or ETRing is going to flop. However, before that we will see a free heart to get people started on the ETR process, followed by hearts on the store for half price and double/treble bonus on TP... So we have a way to go yet before they knock off the price. Damn i hate it when what i type ends up being so cynical Nice to see a serious discussion for a change.

	I agree that ViP should get more stuff than they do. Maybe 1000 TP per month. But getting a bunch of free hearts is a good deal. Chances are they will mess it up the first time and just give all of us a second one for free, too. So, I'm anticipating getting two ETR hearts per toon for free at this point.

	I'd like to get two per character, too, due to a mess up, since I really only play one character. My typical play times are playing tons for a month, then taking a month away from game, etc. It's just easier to focus on one.

Then It turned out to be the hearts, by far. They need to fix that or it's a worse grind than heroic completionist, by far and away. And many people won't even start if they can't see the finish line. Also agree that it is nice to have a DDO conversation in the DDO subforum.

Note the distinct lack of trolling a real topic. And yes, that's a typical Turbine tactic.

I reckon Vargouille will keep "analysing the data" till early 2014, when all of a sudden they'll realise 4,200 is "a bit high" and drop it back to 3,000 or something more in line with player's expectations. Where's the world going when we're manipulated by muppets..... You're only manipulated if you turn in your 4200 for a heart right now.� I'll have 4200 CoV by tonight.� I won't turn them in until they make their "adjustment", at which point I've lost nothing.� Granted I'm VIP and have 5 toons sitting above 20, I'll get 5 ETR hearts out of the deal, so yes, it's a very nice boost for those of use running multiple toons.� �I can then use the free hearts to ETR plenty in advance of when they finally adjust the CoV rate up, or the requirements downward.� If you've got many toons sitting at 20+, you'd be kind of stupid not to buy VIP for the month and rake in the hearts.� �

	I'm VIP, partly out of laziness, partly because I'm happy with it. $30 for 3 months is not bad at all for the entertainment value I get from the game. I spend more than that in a week just on weed.

	I'll admit I re-sub'd for 3 months, partly due to this promotion. 500 tp, +15% xp (10% after the 12th), free epic hearts on multiple characters, opening elite on my non-TR epic characters to pick up favor/additional TP - all less than $30.00. Honestly it's not a bad deal.

	Wouldn't be shocked if things turned into a VIP monthly bonus, the way bonus weekends went from an occasional way to apologize for screwups into something that happened weekly.
