How do you pay for POTCO?
 
I pay month to month but am seriously considering going six months when it's time for my membership to roll over.

i dont pay for it. my friend does =)

Sven Osymthe 09-25-2009 10:10 AM

I just pay yearly. I figure i'm gonna be playing for a while, and if it is gonna be that long, then that is the best price.

did you do anything for this friend, in return? Maybe you should as a good gesture.

I use a game card from target or best buy. You get 3 months for about 25 instead of 30

jason davy 09-25-2009 04:24 PM

Assuming I'm actually paying for the game - which I'm not at the moment - I use game cards. It's easier for me to spend $25 every three months than throw out $80 at one time. Plus it allows me to just let it run out if the game gets super boring...which it has.

Maybe I should get a friend that pays for my POTCO too.

Does he know he's paying?

I personnally buy the cards so I don't risk card theft.

chelle_p 09-25-2009 08:02 PM

i pay month to month cuz i dont know how to change it, lol

Andrew 09-26-2009 12:41 AM

My parents pay for this month by month.

I used to use game cards, but we came to find out it was too much work. They say as long as I keep my grades up they will keep paying for it. :)

CarribeanThunder 09-26-2009 01:19 AM

Not to make you guys feel annoyed, but if you buy 4 Game Cards ( a year's worth of payment ), your gonna use up $100 dollars a year if each card has 3 months for $25.
A whole year BOUGHT is $80, $20 less than 4 game cards. If your not really paying for this many game cards, don't worry about it, this probably won't apply to you.
I'm just giving a friendly adviser.
P.S. I pay year by year.

True, but people are probably aware. As Jason said, he buys a few, then he uses them as needed. If your paying $80 for an entire year, but you don't end up playing much, its a waste. If you spend $100 for 4 game cards, 3 months each, you are able to switch to basic when the game is getting slower, then use a card. In other words, through the use of a card, you aren't limited to that one year time, instead you can use it whenever.

yes he does. he plays rarely i mean

Benjamin Goldeagle 09-27-2009 12:07 AM

I use game cards. That way, I can just pay cash for 'em and I don't have to work all of the deductions in my checkbook and whatnot. Works good for me. :)

Captain Whale 10-01-2009 08:49 PM

I pay by yearly subscription - I am on enough to make it worth while and then I don't have to worry about getting on and being in basic mode.

Jack Chainward 10-23-2009 07:23 PM

I would pay for 6 months but have no where near enough. Ha. Oh well but since i switch my online games alot its not that bad.

sushi064 04-05-2010 04:07 AM

As of now, I use game cards. Besides going to the store every month or two, I don't have to buy a full membership or use a credit card. They are also very handy.

Buck Seahawk 04-11-2010 01:31 PM

Well, I'm not paying RIGHT now for the game, but I have for a long time before. I usually bought month to month but then moved to 6 months.

Hebe12 04-11-2010 03:25 PM

I used to pay monthly, but im currently on basic.
I plan on getting unlimited again when the update comes out.

Kat Five Knives 04-11-2010 04:09 PM

It is worth the extra money to me to just have it deducted from my checking.. that way my pirates are always there and unlimited and I don't have to worry about buying cards. I have a good job, so money is not that big of an issue.

Olgarlenn 04-12-2010 02:36 PM

I use game cards.

Robin Yerloot 04-12-2010 09:53 PM

I figured out the Month-To-Moth deal is the best being $60 a year which is much less than the "Best Deal" me and my brother are gonna split the difference on our account, he plays when I'm not on and vice-versa.

Just thought I would throw this out there. One month is $9.95, meaning for a year the price is $119.40. The 6 month one is $49.95, meaning for a year the price is $99.90. The year price is $79.95. So, the year deal is the best for a year, as it is saving you $39.45 for 12 one month deals, and $19.95 for 2 six month deals.

Games that sell different memberships tend to do this. The monthly deal, if a player doesn't expect to be there long term. The half-year deal, if a player doesn't wanna be there the entire year. And finally, the year deal - for players that want to stay longer. The year deal does make them more money, since it is guaranteed that they will stay a year, but it is still cheaper than buying 12 one month, or 2 six month deals.

I don't know the game card price, I just went off of the site. I am assuming its the same price, if not, just throwing that out there.
