Station Access Pass Rate Increase

This subscription rate increase notice applies to Station Access Pass subscribers (as seen on EQLive):


We want to give you some important information regarding your Station Access subscription. Effective April 2, 2007, the new monthly subscription rate will be US$29.99 per month (not including applicable taxes).

We know that rate adjustments are never popular, but the increase is driven by our desire to provide our Station Access subscribers with a consistently high quality entertainment experience, as evidenced by our most recent addition to the Station Access subscription plan, Vanguard: Saga of HeroesTM.

You don't have to do a thing; you will automatically be migrated to the new monthly subscription rate under your existing subscription plan when your current subscription plan comes up for renewal on or after April 2, 2007. We appreciate your support and continued participation in our community.

Station Access subscriptions are recurring, meaning you will continue to be billed at the appropriate subscription interval, until you affirmatively cancel your subscription. Subscription fees are subject to tax and value-added tax, as applicable. The subscription charges are in addition to the cost of the games that are part of the Station Access subscription plan. All game software is sold separately.

For those who don t know what is the STATION ACCESS, from Knowledge Base, Station.com:

" Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Station Access (formerly known as SOE All Access) subscription?

A: It is an account subscription option that SOE is offering to customers who want to subscribe to more than one SOE game. Note the word “option” – all customers can still elect to subscribe to different games and pay individual game subscription rates.

2. What is included in a Station Access subscription?

Station Access grants players access to EverQuest ®, PlanetSide ®, EverQuest ® Online Adventures ™ for the PlayStation ®2 computer entertainment system, EverQuest ® Macintosh Edition, EverQuest ® II, Star Wars Galaxies™, The Matrix Online, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes™ and the Station Pass ™ games, which includes the popular games Infantry ™, Cosmic Rift™ and Tanarus ®. Please note all game software is sold separately.

Full access to these games for the low monthly subscription price of *$29.99 (plus applicable taxes) equates to a potential savings of more than $30.00 every month if you take into account each individual monthly subscription fee! (Residents of VAT-applicable European Union countries or territories will also be charged a VAT equal to 17.5% of the applicable fee.) It’s easy to upgrade your current game subscriptionto Station Access – just visit http://station-access.station.sony.com/.

Btw if anyone states that its perfectly ok and trys to fling the "vanguard" Card then you really are dumb, Vanguard is going to turn out just like eq 2 in the direction its already going. Sure it looks neat, i doubt you will be saying the same good results in a few months time
Do i even have to say it?

Do i even have to say how horrible this idea was? If i worked at soe, I would have burned the eyes out of the first person who even mentioned such a retarded idea as this.

Lets see here....

Just bought another crappy eq expansion for 30 bucks,

Spend some 12 + hours waiting on patch day due to their errors

Massive bugs

Backflagging Destroyed for GoD and epic mobs not working properly

Try to botch it up with double exp

If this is the gaming experience we should start expecting not just on eq, but any game made by soe, then im packing my bags and leaving for WoW tonight =P
