I have talked to some european players and some are being charged around $20.00 USD some are less and some are little more (ranging from $19.98 to $20.05). Now thats a big jump in taxes. Not all european players because I dont know the situation if it's hitting all those players or just a few here and there. Just the ones I have discussed in icq on my list.
Because you are used to paying taxes isnt the issue. We all pay taxes in some way. Try to understand it from their situation. $20.00 USD is more then US players are paying for one account. For a 14 year old game that is outrageous.
Oh hush ... how many of these do you think it takes to Play UO at monthly rates?
math and numbers and accounting in the hall ...
truly, the Apocalypse MUST be a coming next year ...
Cause NOW we're talking politics and currencies and TAXES ...
in the hall ... *shakes head burrrdeberp*
Politicians impose taxes and "commissions"
commissions impose regulations on companies for access and compliance
companies collect and pass on the monies
Gamers receive the annotated bill and complain to their brethren on forums
the boardies agree that everyone else don't know whats what
well
they separately agree that that is wrong that everyone can't be right >today<
maybe tomorrow after its talked about some more
in the hall ...
did you feel the earth move?
no, but definitely: the winds have changed
whuat? climate change is BUNK!
No! that's "global warming" I'm talking about evacuations ongoing ..
Evacuations? ain't that spelled Migration?
No NOT boarder control, rent for vendors is next week
Pffft! next week indeed ... its a holiday weekend and no-one will be "at work"
Ha! "work" my dogs bad breath works harder, harder by a factor of 7
Which faction of Seven are you dreaming about, don't you mean the Ecks vs. Sever at the harrower?
Oh yeah, she was HOT!
No that's Atlantic, it is seven faction venders in Maginicia that were evacuated from fel
No, the migration has been "on" since the Fifth and taxes are needed to mitigate the cost
thilly, they're supposed to >evacuate< the coast because of the hurricane, not migrate to the coast
Oh man, My House fell !!1!1!
Migration or earthquake? either way it is your fault for choosing to play in Fel
In the hall ... in the Uhall ...
many different echoes in the hallowed halls of the UOhall of harrow'd hunters of the Harrower
*ding dong*
