lets keep politics out of this (I know its difficult for the more churlish of the lot) before I have to put my "rhymes with toot" up someone's "rhymes with bass"
Doesn't that mean the amount us brits are paying should be going down?

We now pay in Euros as well. The Euro has risen against the pound a little in the last six months mostly because we are so closely linked to the USD (and some of that nasty political stuff we can't mention) so we have also had a small price increase but much smaller than the US.Originally Posted by QuantumDelta
If they continue adding new countries into the EU though it will drop fast again sometime soon though and NC will get cheaper for us in the UK.

This is true, if they DO exchange USD in Euro. If they let it, for say they have invested in US or they plan to go there, then it's not.Originally Posted by Nidhogg
In any case however, this what Greenspan decided for US.
On the opposite side Euro is now very "hard"
We will see who will win.
Anyway, Europe invites both UK and US to join us

I think they should charge 35 USD a month......then maybe all the lil kiddies will disapear.
J/K
I dont really care....I'll pay 15 a month for each all my accounts, maybe after the new year things will start to roll into the game. I have tried almost all MMO's
that charge from anywhere to 12-15 a month....yet I still play this. Not many MMOs out there where I can whack anyone that I want, anytime I feel.
KK has to eat too, I just hope they kick it into gear soon.
Yeah but the point is people are getting fed up of having to pay MORE, i mean KK produces a pretty crappy game already and cause of currency we have to pay more, I think it's kind of ridiculous, doesn't matter if it goes to KK or not ... it's the final payment players have to make that matters...Originally Posted by Nidhogg
LoL...so what do you want instead?Originally Posted by ou7blaze
If you pay in USD we charge you less? LoL imagine the uproar from us paying from other currencies...if you think you pay too much for a 'crappy' game then leave simple as.
I'm sorry but KK can do nothing about the exchange rates, what if they were only charging in USD and you were paying more you would still moan, until money is all the same currency...lol in about 100 years then get used to getting screwed or getting a bargin depending on the to and from currency.
MMORPGs are international you will always have to pay probably in USD or euro as KK is a european business it makes sense for them to deal in thier currency.
This whole thread was brought up by someone who honestly thinks KK is somehow to blame for increase in exchange rates and you also beleive this. Sorry but this thread is a bit of a joke.
Your currency is pretty bad anyway still around 13 HKD to the pound from when i was over there i guess?
Death threats? I seriously hope they are perma banned. A games a game.Originally Posted by Nidhogg
And we do love you. Well, not in that way, you know, like men.. well.. uh.

As an American with a shitty dollar, I can't like the fact that I now pay more.
But, I do understand that KK / 10Tecal(sp) / Click2pay are charging in Euros.
I understand what effect that is going to have. It would be the same, if reversed, if they were charging in dollars. I'd pay the same as ever, and everyone else would pay fluctuating bills. KK wouldn't get any more or less for the value you pay.
If I understand it correctly, other than that tax, they make the same amount from US players no matter what value the dollar has.
I suppose it's another downfall to playing an international game.
At least I get to meet all these cool people.

its just sad to read this thread guys.
this is where the normal 'make a joke of the US' comes in...but after 1/2 a million american peeps signed that website to say sorry about the guy that did the thing *cough* it makes it a lttle hard. (little)
exchange rates will always fluctuate and just because your currency is down at the moment it was very strong and will probably get there again...you should look forward a few years to the demise of the british pound lol...(its coming you know it) and with the EU (and eventualy euro) expansions the euro will weaken.
then everyone will be holidaying across europe for a couple of notes and the US will laugh its way to even more subsidised exports...
anyway...to the thread DEAL WITH IT....
I would have liked it to stay as it was with a real payment company that allows me to pay in whatever currency I choose.Originally Posted by -Demon-
@LOST - I'll bet you my left nad that the UK doesn't join the Euro in the next decade and the only reason I didn't say "ever" is because with the state of the world right now I wouldn't bet on the sun rising much after that.
