Alright everyone, first post http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Just a quick question... what is the monthly bill for playing online in the UK (In £... not $)

Please let me know, also is there any way to reduce it like by buying 6 months at once???

Thanks, L3ighfield.

£6.99 a month

And I pay a subscription, it comes out of my account every month. There is NO way of paying a lump sum to reduce the cost, sorry. Hope this helps...

Helps alot because you answered both my questions http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.

Is it really worth £84 a year though?

Yeah I think so, I'm really enjoying it. When you get on (by xmas) the expansion should be out. So even more stuff to see! (You never know it may be cheaper by then too, tho I wouldn't bank on it). If you do get on give me a shout and I'll show you the ropes! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I only got on in February and has reservations about paying for a Guardina's Licence. It wasn't really the money, more a case of whether I'd get any value out of it because my time to play games has reduced drastically in the last couple of years.

350+ hours later I've got to say it's well worth it. It's the price of a couple of drinks and it doesn't give you a hangover.

Trying to find that one rare item you want may give you a headache though.

You haven't seen how much the Canadians and Australians pay.

In addition to cheaper service, the American players also get to play the game as if it's offline. With the sheer planetary distance from Europe/Australia, there is a notable - and negatively affecting - amount of network lag.

So that can effect lag? Wow, that is bad... we really don't get it good in Europe do we? Get the game late... Pay more... and worse lag... ffs!
