Re: EMS
Check your Payment History. I've totaled up almost $600 over 11 years. Don't know if that's average.

Re: EMS
This game has been around for 14 years(!!!). For many of those years it was based on a subscription model; I don't recall how much that was, but I think it was the equivalent of 5000 em$/year. Then, there was still all the different equipment and things you could purchase in addition to a subscription....
Many long time players have easily invested hundreds or even thousands of dollars ($1 = about 100 em$) over their time playing... and of those I've talked with, none have seemed to regret it.

Re: EMS
I don't regret it. I just regret the way I did it. Had I just stuck with my first account. I would have all the guns and gear for what I spent. Being stupid by starting new accounts all the time I certainly didn't get my monies worth for what I spent. I only have one gun, one scope, 5 tents and a few items for spending way past the $1000 mark. Not a smart move but it was my decision and I don't regret it.

Re: EMS
When I started around year six, the normal subscriptions were in place. It was the equivalent of $35 USD a year for an annual subscription. There were some starter packages you could get though that came with different lengths of subscriptions and some equipment. The first subscription I ever bought was the "Trailblazer Package" for $50 USD which came with a one year subscription and a bunch of different gear. That's where I got my .300, .357, .44, snakebite, plinkington... there was a bunch of stuff that I don't really even remember now. Each year after that, I just bought the normal annual subscription and bought Em$ as needed. Also when I first started there were some ad/survey things you could do that -sometimes- paid out petty amounts of Em$. I think I earned enough through those to get my first ever canada goose setup, but they were removed from the launcher shortly after because they were unreliable.splainin2do wrote:This game has been around for 14 years(!!!).

I also remember a time where they offered limited time "special deals" on equipment and Em$. One deal I remember was buy $20 worth of Em$, get a free tower. $35 Em$ gave two towers and $50 Em$ gave three towers. There was also a deal once where if you bought $20 worth of Em$, they threw in a free scenthound. It'd be cool to see the return of those limited time deals.
Prior to my time in the EHR, I think subscriptions may have worked differently? I believe at one point early on, the original game company that owned the title was going under and they were offering lifetime subscriptions for $100+ USD. Someone with more time on the ground in the game would have to verify that and tell you the real history though.
I've bought subscriptions, Em$ for myself, some for forum competitions, and many to give to friends. Not as many as some, but more than others, and I don't regret a penny of it. I'm not sure a could put a dollar value on a game that I have... 3,759 hours invested in. Pretty sure no matter how much I've spent or will spend, if the game shut off tomorrow, I got my money's worth. Even if it was just for all the friends and memories I've made through this game and this forum.

Re: EMS
No, I never did missions. It seemed I always needed to buy weapons I had no interest in to do all the missions. I'm a stubborn old coot and don't like to be forced to do something. So, I always passed on missions.
