You don't have to pay to access the forum, but for features which cost a lot of money each month we have to have a return. There will be non-premium competitions, but the prizes will be nothing like the Premium members competitions.
There also will be private premium members forums.
Thats not the point. We're the ones providing you with the money just to have access to a certain forum or a certain giveaway, those are nice and all.. but YOU aren't the one paying MONTHLY for these. I was well ready to settle and get either RG Elite And/Or Sponsor knowing it was lifetime and I'd have it for good. Also, What are you.. trying to welcome more leechers? Theres more of a chance of a leecher paying a mere $2.50 or $5 however you want to price it per month than paying a SET price due to the fact that the amount is higher, so the thought process of "will i be around for a long period of time" will raise. Not to mention, are we now paying MORE to have better access to a community some of us call home? Don't get me wrong because im not an RG Elite or Sponsor, But i could have EASILY and have been going through this thought process for a while and when i finally came down to the decision, this bomb is dropped. Not liking this update. Sorry. Lifetime > Monthly many will agree.
EDIT - So it's also now going to take 1 payment for the wrong person to leech out the stuff to other people or other forums since it's now cheaper and MONTHLY? They can easily stop the payment and move on after stealing everything from your "private" forum.
EDITX2 - Also, Sorry i am going off topic with this, but the idea's of how dumb this is sounding is pouring into my mind as we speak.

RG Elite members will have access to their private forum and access to the standard competitions. Premium members will have their own competitions and exclusive content within their own forum.
I hope I have cleared that up, let me know if you want to know anything else.

No, premium members are the new usergroups that have access to exclusive contests and content which is why you have to pay a monthly fee to stay enrolled.Pichu said:Glen Hughes said:RG Elite will have the same features is has now with the added bonus of the 50% discount.

Any exclusives for sponsors other than the 50% discount for premium?
Well, I know that but what I was asking was if sponsors would receive an extra incentive for being a sponsor (ie; one month of free premium membership).George said:Scenery Defender of Ponyville said:Glen Hughes said:RG Elite will have the same features is has now with the added bonus of the 50% discount.

You will still be a "Sponsor" aswell as getting the discount.
I'm pretty sure we will simply retain all benefits we have now, as well as a discount of 50% to Premium. Pretty good when you think about it, keep Sponsor forever, and you can get premium waay cheaper than everyone else.™Scenery said:Well, I know that but what I was asking was if sponsors would receive an extra incentive for being a sponsor (ie; one month of free premium membership).George said:Scenery Defender of Ponyville said:Any exclusives for sponsors other than the 50% discount for premium?

Make everyone pay monthly. Bullshit. That's straight bullshit.
$2.50 a month. If you were to buy Sponsor it would be $25. It is lifetime although it doesn't really give any benefits over Elite. Premium(If you already have Elite or Sponsor) will cost you $25 over 10 MONTHS. 100% worth as you could easily make over $25 in those 10 MONTHS of competitions.helsaber said:Nate said:OH YEAH GLEN IS A FUCKING B0AUZZ!!1

This... In a way.
I mean they said they're keeping RG Elite members and Sponsors and will discontinue them as of August 1st and they'll continue to have access to their regular stuff, also 50% off or whatever for the Premium.
As described, Premium is obviously going to have far better competitions and more within the forum, obviously you pay for what you get.. But i still think its unfair that a monthly payment is at due for this.
Consider the community's opinion please Glen.
read the thread dude you keep sponsor without paying monthly, only pay monthly for the new premium groupNate said:OH YEAH GLEN IS A FUCKING B0AUZZ!!1

What if he gives the option to pay 5 or 6 months in advance?helsaber said:One said:$2.50 a month. If you were to buy Sponsor it would be $25.

But that's were a problem occurs for users like me. Making a one time payment would be far easier for me than keeping up with a monthly payment every single month. I could easily save for a PrePaid MasterCard/Visa, Purchase Premium (If it were given a permanant option to buy) and buy it and be set for life and happy. Now, I do not have a Credit Card. I do not have a Verified PayPal. I do not sell RSGP currently and to do that per month is work, gathering then selling it just to support visiting a certain section of a forum that i am dedicated too. As you can see, it would be a lot harder for me to make monthly payments rather than taking the easy route of a one time, lifetime payment.
