Lifetime Subscriber vs. Monthly?
May 21st, 2007 by MegaBuddy
Founders were given the option of either a lifetime subscription for $199 or a special monthly rate of $9.99. While we may never know the exact numbers, in discussions with other players the lifetime subscription seems to be a popular choice. When the question came up a couple weeks post launch, players were still sticking with the lifetime option.
So which option did you choose when setting up your account? Have you changed your mind since that time?
With only a few more days left until May 24th, there isn’t much time left for Founders to change their billing options. So if you’re having second thoughts about whether or not you should have taken the lifetime subscription option vs. the monthly option, you still have time to change your mind. Don’t wait too long!

My husband and I are currently on the $9.99/mo plan. We would have loved to do the lifetime $199, but just couldn’t swing $400 at one time to do it right now.
As we tend to play games for a good long while (and we adore LOTRO), the latter option would probably have saved us money in the long run but meh, there are little things like food and gas to pay for! (Not to mention moving this summer! Eep!)
So I guess $9.99 per month (each, of course) it is for us. Heck, though, $20/mo isn’t bad for the majority of our entertainment budget!
Alas, I thought we still had a while to change over to the lifetime membership….ahh well.
I went with the $9.99 option, but I admit that my mouse hovered over the $199 option for a long time. I’ve still been debating it the past few weeks. It’s simply a financial matter vs. anything to do with the game.
