Does you already know how much will you pay for the Subscription of the game??? I saw on ZOS Ask Support that English/French and German is going to have a flat price on their coins.


I just made contact by mail with ZOS/Bethesda, asking about if brazilians will have the cost flat to USD $15 in BRL (Real, our money in Brazil), and they responded that we will have to pay in dollars, that means we wont have a Flat price = 30 dollars or something near this....


Ok, I understand that, im a fan of the game, i'll play anyway, (a lot of brazilians won't because its really not a fair price), and i know most of MMO players that had experience with brazilians had "bad experience" because as in every culture there are a lot of jerks, and brazilians is no exception, we have jerks but we have very good ppl too.



Now, my real concern about this :


Isn't Zenimax going to compete (or at least be equal) to Blizzard and letting brazilians (that have a very large playerbase in mmos) pay the flat price????

What I never understand is this: if they want you to pay in dollars, doesn't that mean you're paying a flat price in dollars? You pay however many reals equals 15 dollars at the time you pay, so it isn't 30 dollars for you. It's 15.

Is it because your bank is charging you an exchange rate that's unfavorable?

I'm probably just missing the issue.

Indeed Darrett, thats cuz i came here at the community to ask about this, there are a lot of discussion in here (the country) about the charge not being R$ 15,00

I gotta pay a visit to the bank, and clarify this.

I'm not sure what the Brazil dollar is to the American dollar, that might be the issue. But according to Google...

Should be paying R30, unless I misunderstand. Is that significantly more than other subscription MMORPGs in Brazil charge in Reais? (I learned the right pluralization!)

Thats what i said, Blizzard offers WoW Brazilian Players the same price on dollars to Reais, but not charging the exchange, so it remains the R$ 15,00.

Looks like I am getting a deal as I am being charged in CAD and our currency is still dropping.

It is about twice the price that a brazilian would pay for WoW, so yeah.

That's an issue. They need to fix prices to the local economy.

i can see how charging 15$ in all countries, will limit the amount of subscriptions in some countries.

im from Denmark but live in Thailand, my wife who works as a nurse in Thailand, would have to work about 15 hours to pay 1 months subscription, when i work in Denmark, i would have to work about 20 minutes to pay 1 months subscription.

so yes there wont be as many subscriptions from countries that have low wages.

on the other hand if it was a lot cheaper to subscribe from Thailand, then i'm sure a lot of people would set up their billing etc through proxy's or something to pay less, so i don't think there's an easy solution to this

I checked some info about national monetary system, the problem is with some operators using credit card, currently some in Brazil (and unfortunately mine) are not letting you buy in real from outside the country.

I guess its a matter of time now as the relase date approaches.

Wait Reales?

Wait .. I've see a few posts about "Costs". Are you saying that you don't want to pay the equivalent of your countries currency to U$ dollar?

Some people think that Bethesda (because they manage the financial side of things) don't care about what the equivalent of dollars in their countries currency is.

In a way I understand. It's why certain things cost significantly more in the US than in other countries. For instance, were I to go buy a GPS unit, I might pay $25,000 in the US for a unit that costs $12,000 in some of the Asian markets. If the price of something locally is set in a certain range, then other similar items or services need to be priced to compete.
