I pay by yearly subscription - I am on enough to make it worth while and then I don't have to worry about getting on and being in basic mode.

I would pay for 6 months but have no where near enough. Ha. Oh well but since i switch my online games alot its not that bad.

As of now, I use game cards. Besides going to the store every month or two, I don't have to buy a full membership or use a credit card. They are also very handy.

Well, I'm not paying RIGHT now for the game, but I have for a long time before. I usually bought month to month but then moved to 6 months.

I used to pay monthly, but im currently on basic.
I plan on getting unlimited again when the update comes out.

It is worth the extra money to me to just have it deducted from my checking.. that way my pirates are always there and unlimited and I don't have to worry about buying cards. I have a good job, so money is not that big of an issue.

I use game cards.

I figured out the Month-To-Moth deal is the best being $60 a year which is much less than the "Best Deal" me and my brother are gonna split the difference on our account, he plays when I'm not on and vice-versa.

Just thought I would throw this out there. One month is $9.95, meaning for a year the price is $119.40. The 6 month one is $49.95, meaning for a year the price is $99.90. The year price is $79.95. So, the year deal is the best for a year, as it is saving you $39.45 for 12 one month deals, and $19.95 for 2 six month deals.

Games that sell different memberships tend to do this. The monthly deal, if a player doesn't expect to be there long term. The half-year deal, if a player doesn't wanna be there the entire year. And finally, the year deal - for players that want to stay longer. The year deal does make them more money, since it is guaranteed that they will stay a year, but it is still cheaper than buying 12 one month, or 2 six month deals.

I don't know the game card price, I just went off of the site. I am assuming its the same price, if not, just throwing that out there.

Ooh haha, I was looking at the first month thing, I thoguht it as 5 Per month I took another look and realized that was for the first month, but now I see, thanks for that info!

No problem, wouldn't want people spending too much.. :D

I use game cards for the first time I got one on wed
