OK, so I know this was mentioned on the "shemale on shemale" thread, but I'm starting a new one to be more "on topic".
I joined back in March of this year (2010) and was a free user for about a week before buying a 1 year membership. At that time I paid $30 USD. At the time, that was a fair price. It included A$3000. If you ran out, you could buy more A$ in the following break down: $9.95 for A$1500, $24.95 for A$5000, and $39.95 for A$10000
While the $24.95 and $39.95 packages have not changed, the $9.95 package is gone, replaced by a $14.95 package for A$2500.
Also, when I joined, a one time 3 month membership was only $14.95, but is now $24.95....and a monthly recurring membership was only $4.95, but are now $9.95.
Now the yearly fee is $49.95 (which includes A$6000)
To give you some insight on this, I took the liberty of compiling some numbers. Now, I did this for FEMALE/SHEMALE (they have more shop items). To buy ALL poses (Three somes, ff/mf/fs) costs A$11530. Add in ALL the clothes/accessories (again for female), and that total is A$3745...so the grand total to buy every (usable) pose for a new female/shemale and all clothes is A$15275
This would require the user to say buy the 1 year membership for $49.95 and then an additional A$10000 pack for $39.95...a total of $89.90 for the year. And they keep releasing new poses every week.
Someone suggested that $49.95 is "reasonable" for the hetero crowd.....after doing the math for you, is $89 reasonable?

I'm not the advocat of the A-Team, but yes, for heteros it is. As I know, you get something similar for a price between 10 - 30$ the month. That means 120 - 360$ each year.
I don't say it's fair to FF and in my opinion it's very expensive for homo boys, as they don't have many actions here.
You also can't count all costs; there is no reason for a homo girl to buy the shemale or the FM positions. And no man will buy the women clothes, though he is able to make gifts, but this is his own decision.

I think the reason he counted it all up was to show the uppermost limit.
But yeah, it's not far for FF and they've 6-7 months to give me something worth re-upping for.

Correct me if I am wrong, but on the monthly fee didn't the script allowance jump from 1000 to 1500?
Lumping this as a Shemale expense is incorrect too, there are no FF/MF needs. Currently there are no threesome options for the Shemale so the estimate is incorrect for labeling it such.
he should modify his posting to reflect that this is a Female estimate, for someone who wishes to invest in every option. I am of the opinion that such investment is not necessary...but it is a choice.
other game is a monthly fee of $20.00 per month (US) , ...so I can only say it's a matter of choice as to value. Here though a premium can opt to interact with a non-premium. In other game there is no such option only VIP's can have sex. It is fair to say that it is the paid account holders who are carrying the load for the non-premiums. To say otherwise is ignoring economics.

Bear, I think he was saying female/she-male because we share clothing options and are now listed as such in the shop. I think his did the math more to give people perspective rather then definitives.
-
And no man will buy the women clothes, though he is able to make gifts, but this is his own decision.
I didn't count a man buying female clothes. I went to the shop (without logging in), click "For Female/Shemale" and added EVERYTHING for a total damn near A$4000....I was trying to make the point that the A$6000 they give you for a 1 year is NOT enough to buy EVERYTHING in the shop (clothes and positions). The reason I used the FEMALE side is they have MORE clothes than men.

Apollo, I know what you counted. I just compared your costs with the mens' costs, as I said, no homo girl will buy shemale positions, no man will buy women dresses.
