Hey there PS users, admins, crew and weirdos, I'd like to share with you my take on the current wails trending in our Power Soccer community.

First of all I have no idea why some guys are wailing about the price of Club Membership. You can buy a fast food lunch for 7 US dollars or more for one meal, while you can buy CM for a month of full action and benefits for that entire month. If you make your own meals instead of going out to a fast food store or restaurant for one or two days, you can afford Club Membership with ease. We all get at least one meal a day, If we can afford a computer, we can afford to eat, yet still users wail about the CM price. Guess why we do not feels sorry for them? There are hundreds of millions of people around the world who cannot even afford a home to live in and live without food for days and weeks. The people of Haiti whom were ravaged by the Earthquake on January 12th, 2010 live in tents! They have no home, no money, barely any clothing and fight over food! And here we are complaining about Club Membership prices on a game, it's shameful to see it.

Also there are users out there who like to wail when they lose and go overboard with their reactions when they feel they are cheated. These users are always negative. Why can't they think a little deeper? Was it fair to victims of Hurricane Katrina when they lost everything they ever had? Was it fair to the families of the Japanese Earthquake victims? No it was not, but these brave and humble people never got angry with anyone or became violent. They tried to rebuild their nations in a civilised and cooperative manner in honour of their lost loved ones and friends. Why can't we just stay calm and report users whom we think have wronged us for the betterment of our community instead of going off in blind rage?

Finally my last point is directed at users who constantly having issues with the gameplay. We have guys report the bugs and speak about these issues privately. (Kudos to these chaps!) However there are guys who always steam and rage about the gameplay issues and blame the Crew for everything. My suggestion to these users are to try to get a job and work for a year and then return to Power Soccer and look at the game from an employed person's point of view. People who work hard everyday to earn money for their families have many troubles with co workers, customers and bosses, and they are not always treated fairly. But if they stamp and rage, they are fired and out of a job and money. They look past these issues in order to bring home the bacon. Why can't we just look at the good things about the gameplay likes these people look past their working troubles? I think our gameplay is pretty good. Sure it has its flaws and bugs like every other game, but I appreciate PS anyway, I overlook the bugs and only observe the positives of the gameplay. I think we all should aim to do this anytime we play a game.

So PS Community, Please think.. If you lose everything, I'm sure you will wish you had it back. This is why we must be grateful for what we have, appreciate everything good or bad in your life for what it is. You will miss it if you lose it.

nice to see your relating powersoccer to real life. but, a fast food lunch isn't 7$ lol, its like 4$ at the least. Anyway, some people don't have credit cards to pay for this game and then you will have to pay like 20$ for a UGC or something when you can donate that to haiti or japan or something. the only way for the crew to realize the game is bad is for us to bash, do you think they would make the dan sahlin and mbo to only 1 if it wasn't for the bashing and protesting? no.

yeah, be grateful for what we have but, users have a reason to bash or get angry imo. in every game someone gets angry, its just human nature lmao

There was no bashing or protesting actually. My good friend born to try put up petitions for both and with the support of the civlised community, he got the change, There was no bashing in these cases, actualul this is another good point, If we bond togther in a civilised manner we can make game better as the community did in this scenario


@ I said the meal not the lunch :P Meal = burger + fries + drink. Burger itself is probably 4 bucks which I think you meant :P

Good thread lollita! I agree -- life isn't fair, deal with it. Also, the users of PS never seem to look on the positive side of things, we have a great community, an awesome crew, and pretty good game-play. What more do you want from an online game?

If i buy 12 months CM it works out to be $2.66 per month here. One month at a time is $5.19.

My morning coffee costs me $2.50, and my lunchtime cup of tea costs me $3. Not including what i spend on breakfast and lunch.

Most teenagers buy at least one soda or soft drink, or packet of crisps per day. A can of coke here is about 2.50 i think ( i dont drink sodas, so not sure) from a normal corner store.

That's how i put it in perspective. Sacrifice one small purchase once a month, and there is your money for an entire month of unlimited FUN playing PS. How can some people not make that simple equation?

The magic words here are "constructive cristicism". You can wail about something and bash the work the crew has done or critisize decisions. But to help the crew to improve the game you have to show solutions, which are well thought-out.
Apart from that they see how the number of logins, played matches, bought memberships, income and outcome of the company develope and then decide what is the best for the game. It's not how describe it, that they need the users criticism to realize it.

A very good thread with an important message you have written, but I'm again afraid that those who should read the thread and should think about their behaviour and attitude, won't see and read it. But maybe we can show a wailing and bashing user the thread and maybe the user changes his mind.

Lol, not everyone that plays here is an adult, half of the game is full of kids/teens. parents sometimes don't buy their kids what they want because they'll get spoiled or something...

that's right but like you mentioned in your first post, the crew already accepted solutions from the community. I just wanted to point out that you have to give constructive criticism, to make the crew think about your idea and your bashing.

True. I think the reason why they cant afford a month of cm maybe becuase their a child and their parents wont let them. Well theres million reasons regarding this

all can aford cm but they dont have some easy methods for buying them.

its easy to say have a credit or debit card but most of kids dont have their a/c in a bank and even the parents dont allow them to use online payment methods they all are scared about of fraud or lossing the money.

as we know parents are always worried about their kids.

it is all about saving your pocket money and depositing in bank and pay from your poket. no one will object you.

But you do have a computer, food and water taken for granted, a clan and friends to buy you CM.

A good thread lol :) Not unlike one I wrote a while ago, I think that just shows it's an important message that endures throughout the months and years.

I have a three month club membership and I am very proud of its price. $13 for 90 days of fun full action membership thats about 14 cents a day! Paying for the food that i consume would cost about $25 A day. That means eating costs 178X more than a club membership per day! So when you really think about it your getting a really good deal for this. Plus you have to remember this isn't just a flash game you get off the internet, its a well developed, well devoted to game. People spend there hard earned money into creating this game, and if it wasn't for us supporters they would be nothing. So you cant go around expecting to get everything for free. I recently just got an Ultimate Game Card, and I wanted to spend some money on this game, then, spend some money on another game. Then I thought you know what why don't I get the 3 month club membership. One for its a better deal than the 1 month. Two I wanted to spend some extra money on this game since I know how much time went into this game. This game is amazing and it has a great community. I also hope that you guys that a whining about high prices know that you can get supporter for free through sponsor pay. So anyway Great Tread lol18.
