I have no problem with it. You get the basics of the game for free, for advanced features we have to pay. Seems right for a micro transaction game, especially when you factor in the price:
40k aurum = $20 US
1 aurum = $0.0005 US
1k aurum (price for 30 days UVT) = $0.50 US
Two quarters seems a good price to talk for 30 days since there isn't a monthly subscription to pay; pay phones charge this for a single call of like 5 minutes.
EDIT: and this is an out of combat utility which means it is a convenience factor, not game impacting. |

Nothing wrong with using a 3rd party system - happens in games all the time. |

I have no idea if they changed it back - I got mine for 10 aurum yesterday immediately after DT and haven't checked the price again. I've heard from the forums that it was 1k now and that people were unahappy.

EDIT: and this is an out of combat utility which means it is a convenience factor, not game impacting. And then you factor in something like a corp being the size of 300 players, and you're spending $150 a month to talk to each other. You could do that vastly cheaper with some other service.
If this were a subscription game, then a 300 man corp would be pay in the area of $4500 US per month. I don't see your point.
Also, this is not limited to your corp - this lets you talk in any channel - it isn't a corp expense it's an individual expense. I could see your argument as more valid if this was only for corp to speak to each other, then the price should be lower based on a bulk discount. |

You have to have a server to host is; most groups rent server space. |
