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.

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.

what? How the hell did you pull $150 out of your ass? It's 50 cents a month per person >_> Why would you pay for your entire corp as one person when each could pay just 50 cents like your suppose too >_>

It's the collective amount. Sure it's only $0.50 to you, but that corp as a whole is still paying $150 a month together, when they could do it a lot cheaper somewhere else.

Heck, there may even be AUR tokens like in EVE to purchase AUR with ISK. ^^ This Until this however, we are wasting our AUR paying for voice in corp chat. And if you play this game with any level of regularity, your corp chat is going to be central to anything you do in dust. I would pay 1000 AUR a month easily just to use my voice in alt chats, but when they require it for the most important-to-you chat in the game outside of squad chat, you've lost my money and the cash of several others. I'll text before I buy into something this stupid. "F2P, sure, but if you want to actually COMMUNICATE with your corporation (the central factor to your life in Dust for 99% of players) properly, you and the people in your corp need to pay up."

It was going to be like 5$ a month. And no I don't want to set up my PC in my living room so I can use Team speak, are you kidding me? I used to pay 15$ a month for eve, now I don't sub to eve anymore and at the cost of a single month I can get 3 years of in game voice chat. I don't mind paying it. If you think it's too expensive go buy a 200$ PC and set it up in your living room so you can have cheap voice comms. Because you know, buying a whole pc is way cheaper than paying 50 cents a month. Don't forget to have a mouse for your pc and a mouse for your ps3 and 2 keyboards. All hooked up in your living room to play a console shooter

Outside of that I'll just have my SLeader give me orders. !Or pay 50 cents! Wait a tic. I pay Internet service. Isn't that enough? Edit note. Serious question, what about an expensive lifetime communicator? So we can do it and not have to worry about it anymore? Hassle bothers me more than anything.

SILENTSAM 69 Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 421	Posted - 2013.01.12 06:26:00 - [35] - Quote I would gladly pay for one, I dont care. Make the CEO pay, or whatever. I just wish we could talk in corp for free again. That way all our members have one channel they can talk to each other in. We all have other channels we want the UVT for, but we all have some members that will not be able to put AUR into the game. At the very least I hope we have something similar to Fleet soon. Maybe a Platoon. Maybe it would give us a chat similar to Squad, but among all squads in the Platoon.

I'm of the opinion that it's a pretty fair deal.

While true, math wise, that's not how money works. 15,000$ a month would be unreasonable, but your paying for yourself. That's it, end of story.
