I would've posted yesterday but Youtube ticked me off....

Yea.... Sorry 'bout that. My stepmom had to take me out to get her car fixed, then we had to go to the bookstore in the mall (at least I got some new manga! :D) and then I was uploading a video to youtube WHICH I was going to embed into a post, but then it went all whack. In about an hour or so, it should be done uploading (again.).

Meanwhile, I'm trying to think of stuff to blog about. But.... Since this has been a very hot topic lately (ugh, we had to go to that store in the mall. It's one of the stores that makes me VERY uncomfortable.) I'll talk about the new Subscriber benefits.

Well, first off. (*checks upload progress* Dangit...) If any of you aren't familiar with the new Subscriber benefits, here's the update note from Wizard101.com:

Membership Benefits

Current active subscribers who have paid with a credit card are now part of our Wizard101 Membership Program! As part of our Wizard101 Membership Program, players who have made a subscription purchase with a valid credit card in the last 30 days, or have an active recurring subscription will have these added features: Energy will refill much faster. Your backpack will grow to 120 slots. Your Crafting Timers will now reset twice as fast. Your friends list will expand to 120 people. This does not apply to players who use their credit card to purchase Crowns. This does not apply to players who use Gift Certificates or Gift Cards to make their purchases in Wizard101. You will have these benefits as long as you have an active renewing membership. These benefits expire when your membership expires. Please note, when your membership expires (you are no longer an active subscriber) your backpack will return to 100 slots and you will not be able to put more items in your backpack until you empty out the overflow. Your friends list will also return to 100 maximum, and you will not be able to add new friends until you remove the overflow.

Well, like all others, I believe this is very unfair to Crowns players. I've spent over 100 bucks on crowns, I should at least get a benefit with crowns BESIDES the crown shop.

Ok, but let's look at the previous benefits that Subscribers didn't have that crowns players did. Crowns players could buy from the Crowns Shop.

I can't think of any others.

Now, for subscribers benefits that us CROWNS players didn't have:
Unlimited PvP.
Ability to post on Wizard101 Forums.
Unlimited PET DERBY.
(more recently, credit card only) The ability to gain OPEN CHAT.

And I can't think of any more old ones.

And now they're adding more. More backpack room, more friends list room, more energy regen. (*checks youtube again* When will this finish???) And for only Credit Card players. I honestly don't like this.

I would personally like Kingsisle to use what I call the "Test Realm System." Give these benefits to Crowns players who have bought crowns in the last 30 days. Let it last until it's 31 days for it to disappear. Like a one-month thing. I guess Gift Card subscribers could work using the "Test Realm System," it could be for people who have redeemed their Gift Card in the last 30 days. After 31 days, the extra benefits go away. Even if they bought a 20 dollar gift card for a sub, after a month it goes away. Then they can use the rest of the 2 months with the old, regular Sub benefits. Just so it's fair. (*checks youtube again* O: YES!!!! IT'S DONE!!!! Wait... Oh it needs to process.)

*waits for it to process*

YES!!! IT'S FINISHED! HERE YOU GUYS GO, ENJOY IT. :D




I hope you guys enjoyed it! :3
