Warhammer Online Digital download+license from GOA *special Xmas price*: £29.99
Warhammer Online Digital download + license from Mythic/EA: £34.99
Warhammer Online retail box from online retailer: £9.99
Now lets remember, GOA/Mythic will get the subscription, so why in the name of the wee man are they charging such an utterly ludicrous amount of money for the digital download? Do they realise how vastly overpriced that is?
The best part is this:
Are you intentionally taking the piss out of your player base? The client is downloadable from the GOA site for free, all your selling someone is the CDKey and 30 days standard free access. You will not encourage people into a game by blatantly ripping them off to start with. Fire your marketing people immediately!
I doubt that any current subscribers of the game will give a damn if you give the game away at this point, cover the costs of the download but get people in the damn game pronto.
Oh and whilst I'm on my little rant - lets NOT have paid for expansions - include the costs in the subscription to keep things simple. That way new players don't have to buy the basic game + numerous addon packs after a couple of years, if we get that far that is.

This special price will only be available for a limited time so don't miss out; give someone a taste of WAR this Christmas!
