That's 8 out of 59, so 13.5% of P2P games.
The problem is that that's based on month-to-month payments. I could get three one-year cards for EQ or several other games for much less.

I think a 2 year card for Aion is actually less, too.

You'd need to get below $7 a month ($83 a year)), this is very, very low. Cryptic's lifetime subscriptions were at $200 and $239. I read somewhere that you can get 1 year of Lineage for $80-90 but can't find the numbers atm.

EDIT: Aion 12 months for $140? Again impossible to find a solid source for that information.

EDIT2: And Aion/Lineage would cost you an additional $30-40 for the box...

STO's lifetime subscription is just $239.99 (that was the average for what I found). Other games are cheaper. I used to have an EQ year card that I got for $30 from a major retailer.

While your points are right I may not have been able to get the EXACT same amount of play, let's be honest, I could have gotten some serious gameplay for several years with weekly updates for the same price, if not just $50 more.

Anyone made by us will require people to lose something so others can win anything.

I don't like how that sounds. I prefer win/win situations.

Yea, I think we're all in agreement that there's no solid way to do this. I'll probably just do it on a guild level in the future.

Honestly, this thread should be closed. It's ridiculously off-topic and it's run it's course.

Actually a real gambling one where no new value is created would be great. With EV=0 there are no given benefits for owners of multiple accounts which is fair game for everyone.

You are perfectly able to acquire Zaishen Keys and thus the Title without the XTH.

If they halt the title, there is no way to continue it lol :S, was meant to be a joke, like XTH was. i think you thought i meant halting XTH and not the title itself.
