Originally posted by Daemon SinI agree with Daemon Sin... I'd like some added features, but I'm not paying the full amount when I'm only casually playing. For a one-time "advanced user registration fee" of $9.99 I'd like 1 clan and avatar, custom tournanents, etc, and would still expect ads to be shown.
I'd like to see a reduced subscription aimed at the more casual chess player - ie: people that don't want to play 100's of consecutive games, play in the Clan leagues, Sieges, etc...
Something with the usual forum benefits (avatar, recommendations, aleerting posts, etc...), a slightly higher game limit (maybe 15 - 20) and the option to join or start 1 Clan.
And, RHP, dude, where is the Android app????? Add a paid App Store app too for a one-time payment to give me some of the features I listed above such as avatar, clan, and limited tournament ability.

I paid subs about 5 years ago - but let it lapse as I got too busy....
A few weeksa go i remembered the site and decided to come back - I was dissapointed to see that it was pay for a year, or nothing....I wanted a quarterly (or even half year) option, to find my feet a little. What i wanted was to pay for a little while, see if I was going to prperly get back into it, to then pay for a year later if that was the case...
all up for having a quarterly or 6 monthly option....

We are considering introducing a quarterly subscription option. If you are not a subscriber, we would appreciate your feedback on this.
- I am happy with my current ad supported free membership.
- I would be interested in a quarterly membership, even if the total annual cost was slightly more.
- If I choose to subscribe, I would opt for the current annual subscription option

I agree with gaborbarla for price. there are some free chess website and I think current price is too high for subscribe services.
How much did you pay for your last chocolate bar, can of juice? 50p or so. Would you really consider the can of fizzy flavoured water to be worth more that a weeks subscription?

Originally posted by Daemon SinI know, its one of the benefits of remaining a member, I think I only get charged around £14. However current rates for new subs are still only £26 which is probably less than you would pay for a takeaway and DVD hire for the night.
It depends on when you signed up. Most of the older subscribers that signed up before the price rise are still on the $29.95 or $19.95 per year rates.
