People are soo in denial. They've sold a single helm with no stats for 15 dollars. A server change for 25. A 90 boost wont be less than 40.
I'm not sure. If your level 90 is decked out with 12-16 slotters, they may make it the cost of a race change. I mean realistically... leveling's never been my time sink; bags, flying, etc. has been.

So let them be happy. Some people don't mind paying a premium.

A part of me agrees, but I feel like EQ2's version of this ($35) was very fair. I guess it'll depend on what the level 90 gets in terms of bags, flying and gear, for me to have an opinion.
A race change is $25, and that's super simple. I think $50 is reasonable. (Not that I'll be doing it.)
That sounds really expensive.
I mean, considering the massive time save, it's not that outrageous, but it just seems weird to have it priced 33% higher than a whole expansion.
Ah well. Probably wasn't going to do it before, definitely won't do it now. More power to you if it's something you want to do.
I think any in-game service can't cost more than a game itself (unless it's F2P, then there's other rules completely).
So it has to be <= $40, from the logical standpoint.
Noone is going to do a "fair" calculation of how much it would take you on average to ding 90. Lol. What about those crazy people who level in 2-3 days?
They will have to price it reasonably. I.e. the service needs to be accessible, but not necessarily "fair" from the viewpoint of people who have paid for the time to level their current 90s.
Price it "fairly" but inaccessibly high (e.g. $55+ is just a LOL), and noone would buy it. It would still be cheaper to buy a 2nd copy of the game and get a free 90 boost with it.
Im gonna go ahead and bump this so I can point and laugh at everyone here who said I fabricated this dialogue. The price for a paid 90 is 60 dollars, or as the rep told me, more than their other services at the moment::
EDIT::: Also a message to those who said they would stop playing the game if it was more than 30 dollars. Please unsub now. Thank you very much.
We're not going to do this here.
