While I realize that FQ isn't necessarily a fair representation of EQ as a whole, it is a rather solid community with dedicated participants. So I thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask--how many paid accounts do you have? (Yes, using Kronos counts as a "paid" account--just differentiating between gold and silver.) I'll start--I have 3 paid accounts all with current expansion.
4 paid - 1 of those is lifetime - the other 3 are paid every 3 months None have all expansions, since I am not a raider. I will purchase the expansion if and when it comes on sale purely for the goodies. 8 free accounts.
1 Lifetime 5 paid via CC 26 paid via Krono (though these often times lapse off and on - but I generally keep 12-20 active)
1 lifetime sub currently but I have been to busy to play much. When active I might have up to 6 total subs. 12 or so with ROS and 1 with TBL.
I have 5 paid accounts in current expansion on release (only a few krono ever used for paying for a friend's expansion once). Roommate has 1 account current expansion on release.
7 Gold, only 1 with all expansions. Played on Fippy (now mostly Phinny and Selo) so never been to TBM, EoK, RoS, or TBL. =)
Recently went up to 12 Gold (month to month), all with TBL. Very likely dropping six of them though. Too much damn work to manage 12. Was trying to be able to mix+match class combinations, but ultimately I end up using the same ones over and over again. Not to mention catching up 6 new characters is an absolute nightmare, such as EoK progression, Tears of Alaris for the melee, Epic 2.0s, and the bazillion other things needed.
