Told ya so, Part Duex

[Siefer]

I knew this would happen to Simu. I called it, sometime last year. "Simu would be dead in 3-5 years." Yet nobody listened. A company like Simu, with their horrible track record of CS and a slew of already expensive text games, starts charging the same price as graphical MMORPG's, you know that this company is in the gutter.

So, in closing...

Na na na na na I told ya so!

Siefer, proven right again...

[DeV]

Yeah, they do have horrible CS. I don't think they know the meaning of the word.

[Xcalibur]

What is a cs?

[Bobmuhthol]

CS is not a word, so nobody knows the meaning of it.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<What is a cs?>>

Customer Service.

[Skirmisher]

Customer Service.

[Xcalibur]

I, usualy, understand the first time...

How would simu die in so few times?

[Skirmisher]

I assume he is referring to the large amount of irritation and threatened account closings/reductions in response to the announced price increases.

They probably wont. Chicken little just needed a reason to post and say told you so.

[Xcalibur]

I saw more when gs4 was announced.

And almost everyone remained, beside me and a few here and there.

[Weedmage Princess]

I don't know about them closing, but...this does give one reason to believe they might be having financial issues. To have a price increase so soon after the whole billing fiasco of December and the release of GS IV...would be either A) Stupid or B) Desperate. I don't think they're stupid..so...I'm going with B.

[Artha]

Yeah, you know, because if you want to get a lot of new customers, you start charging more.

They're not doing bad at all.

[Galleazzo]

GEnie went from the second largest service provider in the world to a ghost town in a good bit less than 5 years.

[Pallon]

This kind of reminds me of the last time they increased the price and everyone threatened to leave but didn't

[Sean]

It's a lot harder to quit than it is to consolidate your accts and lower your account status.

[Warriorbird]

Yah. I think most people will end up like me...consolidating accounts if they were Premium. About the only thing that'd make me return to Premium would be if they brought back the experience mod.

[Anebriated]

Pallon is right, each time they do it they lose out on a few customers but majority stay. Remember the outcry when they announced GS4? Last time i reduced my accounts from a prem to 2 regular, over time i added 2 extra slots. Most likely all I will do is delete one of them because I have 3 characters who i enjoy. If I do anything different it will most likely be dropping to one acct with 2 chars and ill get rid of my warrior or sorcerer. All in all I am not leaving yet. Dont know how many price increases I will take though because im running out of things to cut out of my expenses.

edit: gotta get the names right...
