What premium time system would you like to see?

  1. Keep the premium time system as is and keep it tied to REAL time. (11 votes [9.48%])

    Percentage of vote: 9.48%

  2. Change the premium time system and tie premium time to PLAYED time. (77 votes [66.38%])

    Percentage of vote: 66.38%

  3. A mixture of the two options above, where you can buy premium time as either REAL time or PLAYED time. (28 votes [24.14%])

    Percentage of vote: 24.14%

Would you be more willing to spend money on premium time if it were tied to PLAYED time?

  1. Yes (98 votes [84.48%])

    Percentage of vote: 84.48%

  2. No (18 votes [15.52%])

    Percentage of vote: 15.52%

How much more would you be willing to spend if premium time were tied to PLAYED time?

  1. 3x more (e.g., 750 MC for 24 hours of premium PLAYED time) (27 votes [23.28%])

    Percentage of vote: 23.28%

  2. 2x more (e.g., 500 MC for 24 hours of premium PLAYED time) (19 votes [16.38%])

    Percentage of vote: 16.38%

  3. 1.5x more (e.g., 375 MC for 24 hours of premium PLAYED time) (22 votes [18.97%])

    Percentage of vote: 18.97%

  4. I would be willing to pay the current price, even though MWO would be giving me a better deal. (34 votes [29.31%])

    Percentage of vote: 29.31%

  5. I would actually spend less, because I can use premium time pretty efficiently as it is and a price increase would strain my budget. (14 votes [12.07%])

    Percentage of vote: 12.07%

i refrained from buying premium time because i have at max 1 to 2 hours per play session...and that not very often
so i would really really apreciate a played time model...
i voted for 375 per 24 hours...because that sounds most reasonable to me...even though i would also understan paying 500 per 24 hours...

So what would they do with my still un-touched premium time from my Founder's pack? Would I suddenly have premium for life?

Signed.

Premium time=Time in game, whether its mechlab or whatever.

If my job isnt going to pay me at home because I could come in, I'm not paying for time that I might be able to play. Its just silly. smaller amounts, charge more for it, I dont care. But give us the opportunity to use what we've paid for.

If I've misunderstood the mechanic, and my play time isnt ticking down as we speak, then I'll switch my vote.

In the third vote i would say to pay the same as it is but for less time: for 250MC get 20-18 hours of premium time

I would like to buy days, but only have one day subtracted on the day I play - irrespective of how many hours I've played that day, whether .25 or 6 or whether I go AFK and then came back to play more on the same day. If I don't play for several days, I do not decrement any time. If I purchase 120 days of game play, that's what I get.

That or charge me $60-$80 a year to play as a subscription and I play as much as I want. (that option, I suspect, is the least desirable for PGI)

I think it'd be simpler to base it on games played (as well as keeping the standard system).

It can be confusing buying two different kinds of premium time, but simply making it buy per match or buy per month seems simple enough.

I don't see it as giving me a better deal, I see it as giving me an appropriate deal. I shouldn't be paying for something that's being burned without my being able to benefit from it when the whole point of it is to benefit from it.

As an elite founder I still have not used my 90 days or premium becuase I just dont play enough. I did purchase a single day and then a month worths, it was on sale. But I won't be purchasing any more as its just not worth it and I am down to 8k worth of MC that was part of my package.

If premium time was tied to play time, then I would most certainly utilize it and would be willing to pay more.
