premium membership

Post by eddie2 »

Concise description:
  • The ability 2 purchase 1 years membership and split it up between players as gifts
Specifics/Details:
  • at present i want 2 purchase premium for some fellow clan members who are freemium.we have 3 members but i dont want 2 buy just for 1. but am not willing 2 pay for 3 premiums for them
it will help when buying premium for players in clans. making it more fair than having 2 pick one player 2 recieve it. i think it will help more players 2 experiance premium membership and matbe encorage them 2 buy it them selfs

It would be nice but I think lack has a reason why he has kept it like that and why the idea (or a similar one) has been rejected before.

Splitting 1yr Premium between players

Post by Little Witt »

Concise description:
  • The ability to divide the twelve months of premium bought by a person among a certain amount of players.
Specifics/Details:
  • Player X would buy twelve months of premium and would have the chose to gift a certain amount of months of premium to another player(s) while keeping the rest for him/herself to enjoy. In order for the player being gifted a few months of premium s/he must have completed a certain amount of games and had a clear C/A record. This I think will lower any abuse that might arise/list]

    How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
    • This will allow players to gift membership to other players while still receiving their membership and I think will keep players in CC. This would let players split a years worth of premium with his friends so that they may all have a taste of premium membership and possibly buy their own full year of premium membership.
My other two suggestions

we already have this option.

if you purchase 24 months you can split it with 1 other and if you pay for 36 months it can be split evenly with 2 others.

Oh, I posted a question about his in the Q/A forum and I was told by many people there was no such option. No one told me ever that there was. Ok, thanks

False. There is no way to split a premium membership between multiple accounts.

The OP is asking to split one membership between multiple accounts. Your answer (while technically correct) is telling him to buy one membership for each account, however it makes it seem that he can split up the time.

But what you are asking, no you cannot buy one year and split that. You need to buy 1 year each.

All it would be is... Player buys premium, option when buying is to give some of it to another player. No more than 6 months, no less than 1 month. Nothing to hard to put in.

But you then run the risk of mistakes happening. Say you wanted to give 6 months to me ;) but you accentually gave it to chapcrap :( , I end up with no premium, you end up with having to send an e ticket and the admins need to sort the problem out. And before you say that would never happen, it will, more mistakes happen like this. Admins have enough to do without having to try and sort little things like this out. And what to say to chapcrap when his disappears after joining a 100 games. So many ways to abuse this, it will never happen.

On another note, why not spend the 50$ for two premiums? What is so expensive about that. Christmas is coming, put it on your Santa list. :mrgreen:

First of all, yay premium!!!!

Secondly, I don't think that's good logic to not do this suggestion. However, I don't think splitting a year will be something that is allowed. However, I think that being able to buy premium in smaller chunks at a more expensive rate should be looked at.

Maybe look here for some similar ideas (oldest to newest):

the problem with buying in smaller chunks is game loading.

That may be true, but with a price increase, the game loading wouldn't really save anyone much money. I would not offer anything below 3 months. I may try something like:
  • 3 months for $10
  • 6 months for $18
  • 12 months for $30
  • 24 months for $50
  • 5 years for $100
A little price increase for the normal year, but I think that's reasonable after more than 6 years. Not only that, the smaller chunks should bring more money.

3 months for $10

at the end of the 3 months, join a ton of games. stay freemium for 3 months.
buy another 3 months, at the end of that 3 mths join a ton of games again.


at the 12 month anniversay CC has made $20 yet yearly membership is $25 and $30 under your pricing.


in short, CC loses.

I don't have games that last 3 months. I don't know what time is like where you live, but even my slowest games usually only last 5 or 6 weeks unless it's a dead locked game or something. I mean, I agree with you that something like that could happen. But, if it did, I don't think people are going to wait 3 months to get premium again. My guess is a week or two.

for you and i perhaps but we are prepared to pay to be here.

i just feel that those who already bludge off the rest of us are more likely to find a way to minimise what they pay by doing something like what i described.
