VIP+ Too Costly.

[--ss--]

If vip+ was cheaper more people may actually think about buying it, which would probably make much more in the long run than charging high prices.

I totally agree. If they lowered it to £2.50. I reckon x5 more the current amount of people will buy it. I think there is like 3/4 VIP+'s atm?

[Funya Chin]

I have it because I donate a lot to Habbox - I've had VIP(+) ever since I can remember although, I do think the features are a bit lax considering the price.

[J0SH]

I would happily pay £2.

Habbox needs money to keep it running, you're not being forced to buy it. There are some extra features, yes not many but some at least. I do agree with you there should be some more features for VIP+, I might be mistaken but I think there are future ideas for VIP+ members to get new features. People are still buying it at the moment, so it must still appeal to some.

They don't need that much money, unless they're being seriously ripped off for hosting and licenses. It is rediculously expensive, and the excuse "you don't have to buy it" means nothing here. Anyone who took business studies will know, that prices must be kept competitive and affordable especially with other products e.g. regular VIP. For the price you pay, it isn't worth it. It's not even exclusive, which is possibly the only reason to make anything like VIP+ worth the money.

If it was £2.50, they'll make more money than if it were £4 via word of mouth and affordability for the price of the features.

The price doesn't really bother me, either way I don't mind doing my bit for Habbox. I've had VIP+ since it was released and recently bought 6 months of it. If the price does go down, I will still keep buying, even if it goes up.

This reminds me of my economics Erm, It depends on how many people currently buy it and if management think in the long run lowering prices will increase the money generated from VIP+. If they lower prices to £2, then that would be too low, but I do think it should be slightly reduced but to around £3, which should increase the money habbox makes in the long run, but only management know the figures and stuff

£4 what a rip.

[Hazza]

I don't actually buy VIP via SMS or Paypal. I purchase from others for furniture on the hotel that I don't use. I pay 3HC for one month, I would happily pay 5/6HC for one month of VIP+ but 8HC is a little bit too much. I've had VIP+ before and its good, but not worth £4 or 8HC

If I've made a mistake above I stand corrected

VIP Subforum
£2.50 for 3 months
£4.50 for 6 months

I think VIP get a pretty good deal, and I'm not sure what their exclusive competitions are like, but would like to think they get at least one good competition each month where they can win a couple of HCs at the very least.

What must be remembered here is that when you buy VIP or VIP+ you are donating to Habbox to help support with the running costs of such a huge and ever growing site. All that a side I do think VIP+ donate a much much larger amount for very few extra benefits, and looking at the VIP forum, from what I can see very few VIP members have a subforum. Now if the price for VIP+ isn't going to be reduced perhaps management could see their way to include this feature as one of the benefits of VIP+.

Another idea, would be to give each VIP+ member an identity number, 3 digits with no zeros ranging from 1 to 6, hold a monthly lottery, prize of 10 HCs or similar per month, using 3 dice on the hotel, which I would happily give a year's supply of prizes. At Christmas time hold a special lottery for VIP+ to win 3 months free VIP+ with one of the conditions being you must of purchased a minimum of 6 months VIP+ during that year.

I just think the benefits of VIP+ need a little boosting to thank those that do pay a lot more, perhaps then VIP+ membership may get a boost too
