$9.99 Premium Membership

[GoranZ]

Concise description:
Introduce Premium Membership of $9.99 with limitations compared to the regular premium membership

Specifics/Details:

• Premium Membership of $9.99
• Only 1 Year offering, no quarterly or monthly option
• Limit the number of total active games to 30
• No Speed games

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• We already have free membership that provides 4 simultaneous games and no speed games. The proposal is somewhere in the middle of the current offering and free membership and is intended for people that prefer light game load.
• With cheaper version of Premium Membership we should be able to keep more casual players and thus remediate the player drop.

sure worth trying

I'm not speaking as a mod, but as a player.

A lot of premium players don't ever play 30 games at a time and don't have the time for it. I know I don't unless it's an event like Whac a mod, (which I didn't get to do this year,) so that would be a lot of currently premium players dropping to $10 a year. I honestly can't see BW jumping to do that. To have another tier like this, it has to be realistic.

Now if you suggested 10 dollars to play 10 games at a time, I could see that working maybe, or something along that line. Casual players probably never play 10 games at a time anyway.
