Hi Jason. Just to let you know, there appears to be a slight typo in the description of the premium account item. Under the 'In Addition' section it says '..given the change to..' and I'm guessing you were shooting for '..given the chance to..'

Nice additions though! Great to see the shop up and running again :-)

i want to sign up but i'm slightly concerned about the security (that's about me, not you, sorry). if you continue to checkout do you go to https? does that actually do anything, or am i being an idiot?

and, will this account also help support the podcasts, or will there be a specifically podcast related fund?

thanks

thanks Jason.

so paypal and no amazon or anything else?

hmmm. . . i'll try

paypal has confused me in the past. i'll seek assistance.

ok, that was fast and easy and i didn't need a pay-pal account or assistance.

thanks

What's special about the Premium Account forum? What is discussed in there that can't be brought up in the rest of the forums? Just a reference to a premium forum without any description of it tells us nothing about what we are getting for our money.

Gotta say I'm not thrilled with this, I think things like this, Ta'veren tees etc. are basically ways to milk the cow before it dies (i.e. AMOL). Mugglenet did the same thing in the run up to Deathly Hallows, they began trying to market a ton of HP merchandise because they know (rightly) their site would lose a lot of views as soon as a the series is complete. WOT is fun and a good read, but I'm a little concerned that the merchandising and the "premium memberships" (seriously, 40 dollars to post more on an online forum that has "cool stuff"? C'mon. If you're posting so much, so often you need the extra space you need to discover dating) are a step toward a Star Wars merchandising series.

Heck, if TOR authorizes an author to do outriggers, another to do prequels, and then we begin a series set in the age of legends ...

I admit that all of the fantasy/Sci fi giants have done this, so I guess RJ's estate might was well make some money, too. But somehow it just bothers me a little when artistic/literary stuff turns into cash grabs.

if you've signed up for a premium account, and it's working, could you post here and let us know about it?

thanks.

I appreciate your comments back. And to be fair, "Everything is worth what it's purchaser is willing to pay for it." So if people want WOT T-shirts, rings, etc. than that's on them to pay what they think is a fair price.

I do think that once AMOL comes out, however, it won't be the end of Wheel of Time per se but you WILL see a huge slowdown, just as I'm sure you saw a spike when TGS was announced. It's only human nature.

I guess I just hope that WoT does NOT become Star Wars, I see the Star Wars shelf at borders and my skin crawls a little.

I'd still like to know what sets the premium forum apart from the rest of the forum. What is different about the goings-on in the premium section that it is for paying members?

it's a secret

hey so i just payed for my PM i was just wondering how long it takes to activate

Just wanted to throw my two cents in.

Ordered my GF a great serpent ring as a gift....

Probably the coolest thing I've ever purchased, it looks great! She doesn't like to read very much and doesn't know much about WOT but she absolutely loved the gift and now wears it constantly. Thanks guys.

Just wanted to make a suggestion of selling WoT chess sets. I can't find any WOT anywhere though I'm sure people would totally buy them. Is there any chance that DM can somehow arrange custom sets sale?

that's a great idea - i'd also suggest WOT risk, and clue, and trivial pursuit. and monopoly. these games are routinely adapted from movies, so i think it'd be doable.
