funcoms stone bleeding

I will first say that the price for the collectors edition of Age of Conan is pretty steep until you learn what you get. Any game that let your charter get drunk for free, though out the world forever isn't to bad. Plus if you are or are going to role play be "famous" enough to get free drinks for a lifetime is not a bad thing.

Though the thing that annoys me out of the collectors edition is the early access key. Don't get me wrong I think that part is cool and should come with the pre-order. What I don't like is that you have to pay to use the code. Really I mean after you either spend fifty or ninety dollars you have to give funcom five more bucks to play. So assuming you don't live in Oregon or another state that doesn't have sales tax ; to play Age of Conan to its fullest you will spend well over one hundred bucks. Look I am really looking forward to this game. Hell I do live in Oregon and I did get the collectors version, but even I'm thinking twice about handing over five more bucks.

The over thing I do not like about this is seems like they are trying to mix Koreas micro transactions with the Wests monthly subscription. I really hope this is the only thing they do to annoy me and you. I would hate to see this be a pre-cursor to a long and annoying trend to kill a great world before it even rises to it's feet.
