[Alador]

Man read this :
Gonna poop if this happens to India :-


Q.What are the different type of Time cards available?
A. There is the day card (enough for a day's worth of A3), the week card (enough for a 7 day's worth of A3) and the month card (enough for 30 days of A3 time). Prices are SGD$1.90, SGD$5.90 and SGD$14.90 respectively.

A3 30 days time card RM$24.90
A3 7 days time card RM$9.00
A3 day use time card RM$3.90

Dude dont jump before converting it properly:


In Singapore dollars prices are:

A3 day use time card- SGD$1.90,
A3 7 days time card - SGD$5.90
A3 30 days time card - SGD$14.90

Converting it to Indian Rupees:

A3 day use time card - Rs. 50
A3 7 days time card - Rs. 153
A3 30 days time card - Rs. 387

This is Cheap man by Singapore standards where everybody is so rich.
Even in India this cant called be expensive. I kno of ppl who spend 500 bucks per day in Reliance Web worlds playing A3.

Though i must say tht the montly fee shouldnt be over Rs 300 for India.

Dude.....the money is not the problem....!(its pretty cheap)
the problem here is that we have a pay a freaking monthly fee??
Y cant it be for the whole year like WoW??......!
N i wont be able to stand the crap of buying a shithole so called 'CARD"..over and over again!...Well..lets see how it ends up..!

[Alador]

hmmm.
I didnt see any info on Yearly subscription.
It had better be there coz monthly renewal Sucks man.

But you CANT say moneey is not a problem partners. Agreed many of the players playing here are assumed to be players of middle-higher income group!! (if they can afford a comp they can afford a 500 Re / month game too??) . But there are other groups too.

Unfortunately, our country's dynamaics dont justify that. Remember we're talking about success of a FRANCHISE: and Indians are very price sensitive about their costs. They'll rather let the franchise go to hell rather than pay for something that costs more than their monthly gas connecition

Mobile phones took off ONLY when the prices became ridiculously low compared to western standards. No way can u expect an entertainment piece diverge from the trend

hmm since u r talking economics...here goes:

Those prices we saw were wht is going to be charged in Singapore. Well the GDP per capita of Singapore is over 27,300 USD. Now compare it with the GDP per Capita of India is only 3100 USD.

GDP per capita = avg annual income of each person.

That means..tht Singaporeans earn around 9 times more than India.

Therefore by that standards... The prices A3 india should be carging is 1/9th of wht is being charged in Singapore.

HEHE

That will b sooo cool. 43 Rs/- per month would realyl really rock.
But i will say it b4 any1 else does - `In MY DREAMS`

[Alador]

i doubt itll be lesser than 200/- a month.
so much for economics

gotta break open my piggybank

Well obviously man... economics aside.. the cost of infra, bandwidth and software and licensing fees does not change much between Singapore and Inida. The only thing tht might be lesser would be people cost.

So I guess the Prices would be the close to it if not the same as tht in Singapore, which really isnt too high man, whtever u say.

A game of Counterstrike - the most popular lan game in India, in a gaming cafe for 5 hrs would cost you 150/- assuming 30 bucks an hr. So if u play this game from home which is possible coz the spec requirement are not high at all, it would really work out damm cheap.

Hang on!!!
TILT : Radyan Server is in Singapore??????????????????????????


if YES, then VSNL users are screwd. VSNL ILL landing point is MUMBAI!!!
If im correct : Sift uses the Chennai Landing Point.

Plz correct me if ive gone nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chief]

Hang on!!!
noob q : Radyan Server is in Singapore??????????????????????????

No man!! in Singapore also Actoz has sold the license to some ISP like Sify. There also they have a Redyan server where gamers can log in to play A3.

These 2 Redyans are different in terms of physical location and require different registration process to play.

Since in both countries a single server cluster 'Redyan' is present tht is why I made the comparision.

In countries like Japan there are more than 1 server cluster... eg. they have Redyan and Rubal servers.
