Pogo is going to start some new badge albums. Premium albums, meaning that you have to PAY for these badges. :-[ I wounder how many people is going to pay the 2.99 to 6.99 for each of these albums to get the new badges that has animations? I do not know when they are going to be coming out, however, I will not be getting any of them. Just wondering what everyone else thinks about this?
Not a chance will I pay for those badges, but I bet there are going to be mebers in pogo that will do it. Bad idea for pogo doing this I heard people talking about in the rooms and they all getting so mad about it.
fluffy
its a good idea,but gonna wait till the details are released before judging them
Gonna wait and find out ALL the details first. But just like the mobile badges ( I didn't think I would buy, but did) I will probably pay for the premium. ::)
the hell with that! No way. :P
I guess I don't see what the big deal is. There not taking away the Personal Challenges or Weekly Challenges. They're giving people the chance to BUY something if they want to do extra stuff. It's not like they are forcing you to buy your weekly challenges or anything.
I am seeing this as an option. They aren't forcing anyone to pay more. Just like the mobile badges, they are an option. I don't know if I will be one to get these. Only time will tell what they are, and if many of us get them. :)
In all honesty, how many of us said there was no way we'd pay to play Pogo when we could play for free ... and look at us now. Most of us can say now we wont pay for the albums, but once we see them, and see someone else with them ... its a different story.
well i think are tokens should be taken for payment if they are doing it i was told there not going to charge but they say that know but who knows well have to wait and see
They are never gonna let us use our tokens for more badges. We only get to waste them on their ugly clothes. Have they ever heard of The Gap, Old Navy, Macy's? ANYTHING but Wal-Mart? ;)

LMAO. . .I didn't know Wal-Mart sold leather pants bwahahahahaha >:D
They sell "Pleather pants" aka Plastic. LMAO :D
Is that why my mini is always complaining of chafing? :o
:) LMAO
I can't play the mobile games. :'( Tmobile isn't on the list. Would I pay for premium badges? Hmmmm need more info on it, but probably if it were as good a deal as my auto's. :) And after I get all my game award badges.
I am like, we/I purchase autos to play the games to get the badges, and if you think about $10 for an auto and the game has 5 badges, that is $2 a badge...so I don't see the problem with buying into the Premium Albums.

Are we sure that is true? I heard it was a hoax/chain letter.
Yes were sure.
pogohatesme echoed my thoughts exactly.
The only factors in my decision are quantity (20+ works for me) and how I can work on 'em. If it's one a week, ehhhh maybe not but at my own pace. where's my credit card.
I have gotten to the point in many games that going up one rank takes quite a while, this would make some of my progression more tolerable. Plus this is why we play pogo in the first place. The weeklies and in game badgse aren't changing. Skip the Starbucks for a day and get many hours of entertainment.
The people complaining in chat are probably the same ones who say "I hate this game" "I only play it for the badge" That's a choice too. You don't HAVE to pay for these nor do you HAVE to win all the badges.
Pogo is a business and if this is what they need to do to make more money to get better servers and more support then kudos
We should hunt and kill that person that started the rumor about pogo charging fees for their personal challenges.
Pogo probably thought 'Hmm, that's a good idea' hehheh, cause they allready make over $12,000,000 alone from pogo
About lets say (500,000 people X $30) - Prizes given away (aprx. $100,000 monthly, $1,200,000 yearly) = $13,800,000 profit, before anyother things come into play (Staff wages, Bills, Taxes, etc.)
I'll say they don't need the money, but what do I know? :D
*Note* This data isn't accurate, but if you think about it, pogo is making a fortune off of us :)
Well I know that I would be all over a premium badge album. I can not help it. I am addicted to the badges. And when you think about it, it is really stupid that I am. I mean they do nothing and are just little graphics. But I can not help myself. That is why I got the mobile games and why I would get the preium album games. It already bothers the crap out of me that there are some super and special badges that I will never be able to get....lol
here are some premiun badges

Yes! despite what people say now, most people will be all over these badges once they see them and notice everybody else with them. It's a bit like club pogo itself, how many people said back then, "wtf I'm not paying to play pogo when I can play for free??" But look at us all now lol. I myself am looking forward to them ;D It should also be noted that the premium badges Nikki posted are actually all animated like the super badges :)
Pogo Pete said they are "unable to comment on this issue," which pretty much means get out your wallets. :-\

I used to always say during my pogo pool only days, "wtf I'm not paying to play pogo when I can play for free??" LMAO, now I'll glady shell out 20 bux a year, plus whatever new badges cost.
Exactly lol O0 I resisted club pogo for ages, despite all the "exclusive" club pogo only games I was not swayed. The more I snooped into the club pogo members profiles to check out the badges the more interested I become. Then oneday I saw the squelchies "pearly badge" and that was it, I signed up :D That's all it took, one freakin badge ;D
Atually playing and being addicted to Pogo and their badges are the exact same as when i was younger and got addicted to playing such arcade games as Gallaga,Joust,Pac man, Ms Pac man,Centipede,Tron,DigDug and Mortal kombat just to name a few of the oldies and goodies. I spent numerous hours and quarters trying to beat those games but now its' spending those quality hours playing new games and getting new badges without having to insert a quarter after each game you lose which is a great concept when you come to think about it.
That's true, I had forgotten about that, I loved Galaga and Frogger as a teenager ;)
Everytime I see Frogger I think of the Seinfeld episode. :D
Yes! lol That was a classic episode I loved that, actually probably the only good episode from that last season :(
I love when the truck flattens the game. LOL :o
Noooo I nearly cried I thought what a waste lol. It was funny though. It could only happen to George eh? >:D
