pricecheck isro > ksro (overprice comparison)

Post by mKaaru »

when you buy silk for isro, a 4 week golden ticket (130 silk) would cost you $13 usd with a new pet (88 silk) for $8.80 usd, a combined 218 silk or in real currency a monthly fee of $21.80. in isro, 1 usd is worth exactly 10 silk.

now lets take a look at the prices of similar products at the KSRO item mall. the 4week golden ticket would cost you 92 silk where the new pet goes for 55 silk, the total "monthly fee" would be 147 silk.


now time for the pricecheck, and using XE.com currency conversion to compare prices in USD:

isro monthly fee = 218 silk > $21.80 USD
ksro monthly fee = 147 silk > 14533 WON > $15.73 USD


if you're wondering how i figured out the price calculation for ksro, below are the silk charge lists from both isro and ksro.

ISRO:
100 silk for 10 USD
300 silk for 30 USD
500 silk for 50 USD

KSRO:
30 silk for 3000 WON
50 silk for 5000 WON
100 silk for 9900 WON
200 silk for 19.600 WON
300 silk for 29.100 WON
400 silk for 38.400 WON
500 silk for 47.500 WON
1000 silk for 90.000 WON


not only does ksro offer you more variety of silkcharge possibilities, but also when you buy more silk it will cost you less money. this means that isro charges a higher "monthly fee" then ksro by more then $6 USD. when you compare silk prices for isro with ksro item mall products, the latter charges lower prices then first mentioned so you could come to conclude that joymax isro overprices a lot more then their Korean counterpart...

each version of SRO has its own rate of charge silk, I think.

The rate of silk charge in vSRO is also different, as well.

It is just matter of currency.

oh well who gives a cancer ass right? most of you dorks replying in a geeky fashion are prolly yanks anywayz, living on mac menus and sitting behind your pc 24/7 playing sro while gaining more weight in the process :O those extra 6usd you spend more monthly in comparison to the koreans do on their sro version are coming from your mothers visa or mastercard anywayz.

but if we pay more for isro, i'd come to expect more from joymax but oh well.. like i said, who gives a cancer ass

we dont care wether you have a life or not.

good topic. isro silk prices should be lowered imo. i dont think anyone without a job can afford buying silk.
