I too, would like to pay less for the goods and services that I choose to purchase.

I cant see this being very popular with the higher ups, although I like it. However I feel $25 is completely fair for a year of unlimited play, and will likely continue to renew my membership, as Ive dont before, a couple days before it runs out.

I agree that $25 is a very reasonable cost. There is something to be said for rewarding loyal users, though. I'd rather see in-game perks, e.g. larger inboxes, larger avatars, etc.

Now there's a good suggestion.

I think one of the best ways to reward Premium Members it to continue to add in some extra perks.

In spirit of the Winter Holiday Season, I've made an executive decision to bump up the Inbox limit from 50 messages to 75. And remember, you can have up to 5 user defined folders as well.

Edit: For Realz, dog.

Oh, really? You sly monkey, you. =)

This is like if God granted humanity one question in which he will answer completely and truthfully, and some guy asks if he's going to eat burritos later.

Expanded inbox? I'd rather have my trachea removed.

OMG THANK YOU ANDY!!!!!! Playing mafia and all, my role PMs get archived a lot, though I did make the max amount of folders possible so that wouldn't happen as easily. I keep track of my tourneys, mafias, and various conversations via PM so I generally need to keep 'em for awhile. Thanks again, Andy! **Gives Andy a banana tree seed, because he cares**

P.S. I literally had a dream last night that I discovered how to spontaneously create and send bananas to people via the internet and some weird particle-y process during my conference period, and I was trying to send a bunch of bananas to you, Andy, through CC somehow, but the internet was down and I was very upset. Then when the power came back on I somehow completely forgot how to do the banana-thing. GET OUT OF MY DREAMS ANDY!!!!! (Lol, you can stay if you want...)

That can be arranged.

[Army of GOD]

I don't want it arranged, I want it removed.

[BigBallinStalin]

Can I have it? I'm a collector of sorts...

Since we're talking about CC targeting more consumers...

Has CC considered a scholarship program, or some similar pricing discrimination system?

Discounts of $5 for doing something (hah, like filling out surveys for CC's benefit, or for some other website).
