Does anyone know if/when a sale on the yearly sub will be coming up?

Thanks.

Addressing your question and ignoring the rest of the condescending twaddle in your post, no, as far as I know, CCP has not announced any sales recently (except on Plex).

You could try, you know, emailing them or something since we the player base have no idea on those kinds of decisions.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

I wasn't aware if CCP held sales on X days of the year or not, and if anyone remembered the dates.
Iracing normally has sales on some Holidays, and black Friday.


Thanks!

CCP tends to do things at random.

Keeps us on our toes.

CCP does tend to do things at random. Personally, I think it has more to do with their profound corporate schizophrenia than any desire to keep us paying attention though.

You summed up the release of WIS brilliantly.

I've never heard of sales in existing subscriptions, only special offers to resubscribe.

The 1 year sub is pretty heavily discounted compared to the 30-day in any case.

^^This.

CCP already offers a good discount when subs are paid annually. I can also confirm that in the 8 or so years I have been playing I've never seen a sale that further discounted an annual sub more than it already is.

CCP will discount the yearly sub exactly 5 days after you resub your account Twisted

It's been a while since the last power of 2 promotion, hopefully we'll see another of those soon. (unless it's not coming back again due to that start a sidekick offer).

Unless they plan to refund everyone who already has a year sub just because they didn't wait for a sale... you would see quite the uproar on these forums!

I NEVER understand this part. Why do people think that other players will know this sort of information.

Sigh.

I don't normally look at the prices, I just guess that CCP *might* have sales during some times of the year.
I don't even play Iracing anymore, but I can tell you on/around black Friday the 1 year sub drops to under $60.

I was hoping, that someone who pay more attention than I do, would be able to tell me if/when CCP ever has any sales (if any) on yearly subs.

If not I am completely ok with paying normal price, just wondering if I would be able to save a few bucks.
