Premium options for weekends

KaizerG1, on 22 March 2011 - 08:06 PM, said: I just got this idea in my head for a lifetime plan that wouldn't need to include just weekends. What if there was a LIFETIME plan where:
- Cost: between $100-200
- Premium credits and experience for lifetime
- Keep the current beta form of getting daily gold
- Have the lifetime plan during the week, even though you don't necessarily have to play to get the gold
- Log on on Saturday afternoon when you want to play, then you get all the gold you would have gotten during the week plus (amount)g on Saturday
To avoid revenue loss for the studio, there are a few things that would need to be in place though:
- Total gold is accumulated, not an instant lumpsum if you were to pay for gold on the spot
- Gold earned per day is relatively low, but it is awarded daily (since a premium account is already incluced, gold will be spent elsewhere unlike gold for premium in beta)
- Lifetime package players are given the same options to buying gold that non-lifetimers are if they need a lot of gold and do not want to wait (or maybe at 5% off or so from the normal players, since a large difference has already been paid).
More failsafes could be put into place to ensure the lifetime players are getting a fair share of gold they have paid for, but does not amount to a total which would make all players want to buy the lifetime instead of the temporary subscriptions (which would screw Wargaming over).
