[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7667187, member: 2525"] The majority of comments in this thread indicate that people think the pricing is confusing and/or too high for them, for whatever reason. Maybe FG is fine with that, and view themselves as a high-end premium product. But if their intent is to become a more broadly-accepted platform than simply a premium product, they probably need to either reconsider the marketing messages in their pricing page, or the prices themselves, or both. Maybe they've broken things down to too fine a level and it scares people off seeing all those charges (which some people view as nit-picking, like an airline charging for luggage) for things that appear to be pretty basic to using a system like that. Maybe they'd get a better overall reaction if they only offered the subscription model up front and the individual charges elsewhere. Or maybe just "PHB" for players, and "DM's Set" for DMs, and not break down all those classes and BASIC and all that, or leave that on some other page if people want to get into individual charges. Maybe it's just a matter of spelling things out a bit clearer to get rid of some of the confusion - I see a LOT of confusion in this thread over what it costs. Maybe they are charging too much, and they should set the "sale" price as the regular price and get rid of those sales (instead of the JC Penny model they appear to have chosen right now). I don't know - but it sure looks like the very common reaction to seeing their pricing page is either confusion, sticker shock, or both. Again, maybe that's fine for FG and they view themselves as a high-end premium product that isn't intended to appeal to a broader audience. But if that's not the intended approach, they should probably consider some changes (either to the tone, or the pricing, or both). [/QUOTE]
