Thread: EU Consumers, VAT changes, and FC billing

  1. #1

    EU Consumers, VAT changes, and FC billing

    With the changes coming in 2015 for VAT to be charged at the rate of the Consumer's Country and not the Company's Country, is FC going to comply from January 1st and charge accordingly ?

    Info:
    Change in European Union VAT rules per 1 January 2015 for telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic services
    2015 EU VAT changes to electronic B2C services

    Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.

    Hahaha, typical Funcom, literally cannot function on a basic level. How can you possibly think an increase to the sub price is even close reasonable in comparison to your direct competitors.

    Possible Subscriber: Do I want to pay £21 a month to play AO (13yrs old and lifeless) or £9.99 to play WoW (10yrs old and 10mil subs)?


    How has this question not echoed around the hollow skulls of the billing department? I mean seriously, a fkn toddler wouldn't struggle with this comparison.

    The rest of the world is billed at USD rate of $14.95/month or $95.40/12 months.

    Seems more like DOUBLE VAT to me. Once US VAT plus the VAT for player's country on top.

    I would love to see a response from FC stating 2 things:
    1. Why do EU players pay more than US players
    2. Why are they one of the most expensive MMO out there?

  20. #20
    3. Why was there no announcement that prices get raised?
    Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
