I'm curious where you found that info to because I'm looking at the signup screen for one of my usernames that has never even used a guest pass and it is still 4.99 a month or 29.99 for 12 months

Well, will we not pay it...lol??? It is getting a little out of hand though, with everything's price increasing and our paychecks staying the same. :o
I sent them an email to find out for sure
pogo goes up.if they go up they should upgrade whatever they have to.we need better customer service with real answers,less downtime etc.
i dont think its no big deal if it goes up a few dollars.You are getting value for money,especially if your online many hours a day O0
you work out how much that is per day and you will see how little it really costs you over a year
if price does rise to $35.99 a year
you would pay 0.098 a day.
now where can u get fun for that price per day?
If they are going to go up again I think we deserve some better service.
>:D >:D I'm with Caroline..........I have great fun for .09 a day~
not everything has gone up. the autos are still 10 dollors inless thay go up to 10 dollors and 1 cent :o
i agree we need better service in pogoland...but i didnt realize it was only .09 a day to play but i really dont want to pay more than i already do. but it could be new ppl and returning could still pay 29.99 that would be cool ??? but knowing pogo since they have revamped a bunch of games they want to get more out of the players.....

My membership is over in about a month, and of course I am going to renew no matter if it does go up. I just think as I said before they they could improve their service in my eyes.

There's a rumor that Club Pogo is raising their rates to $5.99 a month or $34.99 a year....is this true?? Or is it only for new members? Or are prices staying the same? Thanks!

Greetings,
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
This is merely a rumor. Players sometimes misunderstand something, or speculate about something else, and someone else sees it, and thus a rumor is born! We recommend that you ignore it altogether and continue to play games as you have on Pogo. Whenever Pogo has an official announcement, we announce it in the appropriate place, depending on the context of the announcement.
If there is anything else we can do to help, please let us know.
Thank You,

I emailed them last night to ask them and here is your answer......just another stupid rumor and nothing to be worried about......yet! Enjoy your games all!
Thanks for info :)
This is just another way of pogo making more money. I think if the prices are going to go up we should be getting better service too. They already make enough money as it is and the service hasn't changed at all.

Ummm they're not raising the prices yet...........And like Caroline says.....even if they do, for 9 cents a day where else can you get that much fun....lets face it, Pogo doesn't go down that often, we all just make a big deal out of it when it does, myself included......If you think Pogo is bade, go try Slingdot, then you'll really see bad.
you got that right
We have to have something to complain about. LOL
I don't think pogo is bad at all and I like playing there. Hopefully they don't raise the prices though but I would still play there even if they did. Although they should do something about their service there.
dont expect people to pay ;D
they better add tons of games for that price increase.....
rumor ummmm i remember when they said the premium albums was a rumor go figure
it's not a rumor it's in their help section lol. Do they not know what they put? The existing members keep the same price

that will be for new members not the ones that has been pogo for years are will stay the same
np all yep the current members are safe.
good for us lol :D
good to know our fee staying the same..what about if u were a club pogo member and but didnt renew, now you want to, will you pay 30 or 35 ??? just wondering cuz technically it wouldnt be a new signup right ??
well i answered my own question..... looked up that link and it said....
Important note for existing Club PogoTM subscribers: If you are an existing Club PogoTM subscriber with an active account prior to February 7th, your current subscription rate will not change at this time.

Hi
Everything is going up But pogo is well worth it
if you do not want to pay go in the backdoors ;) it is free but with
20 second breaks :-\ that is one way you can beat it
If your not a member of Club Pogo I don't think it will let you into Club exclusive games even if you go in the backdoor
i think it's stupid but like everyone else, i am sure we will pay it in this house ::)
I agree with you Lish, and we will also pay in this house....lol
as they say pay to play and i will always pay and play,,,,,let dont for get bout posting either 8)
Something is sure strange. My club membership is due in Dec. So I took out my Dec. credit card statement and they only charged me $14.97.
mmm that what the pemium badges cost want to maybe check that did you buy them
Duh. Yes, thank you. I couldn't for the life of me remember that!!! LOL I wonder why I wasn't billed for the club then.
yw np
lol winterage i did the same thing i bout the 4.99 one first and was like dang pogo charged me a month of membership (i pay yearly) and was fummin then my fiance reminded me that i bought the premium badge..so it happens to the best of us ;)
"Will not change at this time" is the catch phrase. Expect it to go up shortly after would be my interpretation.

Oh I imagine lots of folks will still play....really, when you think about it, $35.99 for a full year and the price it breaks down to per day isn't much at all.

Once again I say.......if you think even a $5 increase in what you pay for pogo is horrible, go pay for a years subscription to Slingdot and then tell us what you think. If your a current Club Pogo person your prices are even affected. It's only for the new people. I think if you look at most of the other gaming sites you'll see your getting a lot worse for a lot more cash......it's called inflation. Prices rise. It's life. Deal with it.
I don't know what to think about the increase. Like someone said, the catch phrase, meaning at this time anyone on club pogo won't get the increase, but down the road we will.
My problem with the whole thing is, the customer service does sux, where is the priority of us paying members when the servers creep like a snail. Shouldn't we be the ones who are able to get on, instead of the non members?????
If down the road, they do increase everyones membership, I can't say if I will or will not pay for it. I pay for my moms as well. I think they'll keep increasing it whenever and there will be a limit to what I will pay. There is a thing called greediness and pogo is surely getting greedy.
Of course, this is my own Opinion.....
I've been on pogo for so many years, probably since the beginning of pogo. I enjoy some of their games, but the Customer service is non existence and that's where my problem Lies.
Hi
you are right about customer service that EA is terrible I can write a book before they
get to me >:( I do not like what they have for customer service
Maybe BADGEHELP CAN take over lol ::)
I agree lastcall
Thank You Maria :-*
lol Pog want's there money But it is hell getting to them ???
There is always the pogo hotline you can call...maybe if they get bombarded with calls enough, they will do something about their online help pages. >:D
Madonna
Hello Can you please tell me how you do your very nice fonts 8) please pretty please I have
no knowledge of how to get them >:( please can you direct me the right way :-\
Thank You
Mr
The customer service is not what it should be on Pogo, and I don't think that a price increase will have any effect on the service that we will receive either. I think it is time for Pogo to not allow non paying people to play until Friday and let the people that pay get to play for the badges on the first 2 days. Also when a new games comes up we, as paying members, should get a couple of days to pay it without the non paying people. I have cable hook up and it is very fast but on Wednesdays I can't even get on to play until late in the evening if then. There are just to many people on. Some of the non paying people would then pay and become members so they would not have to wait and it would be a "win win situation" for Pogo. They would get more member fees. Come on Pogo think aout it!!

Do you really think all the non-paying members get together to form a group to play on Wednesdays in hopes they can overload the server?!? NO. It's every one of the PAYING customers that run to get their badges as soon as they are available instead of spreading it out over the 6 days that they give you to do it. As for paying members getting to play new games before everyone else, the last 2 new games that have come out have been Club exclusive games, meaning the PAYING members are the only ones who get to play them, once again, not even affecting the non-paying members. I for one have DSL service through Verizon and the only time I ever have problems getting onto Pogo, including Wednesdays, is when their servers go down. Why does everyone insist on picking on the non-paying members???
my biggest issues are with the non paying teeny bobber 13-17 yr old crowd

A friend/online sister of mine allowed her 16 year old nephew on pogo to play Texas hold em the other night. Well, needless to say, his filthy little mouth got her account banned for 3 days. My question is...why do kids feel like they need to use the 'f" word as if it were the "cool" thing to say, and furthermore, why do parents allow it? My mother would have slapped the taste out of my mouth and my son would be eating a bar of soap. If kids wanna talk like that, i say so be it...when they're 18 and out of the house. Then they will realize it's not such a "cool" thing to say after all. And if parents want to allow their kids to talk like that...let them buy their own account out of their pocket. Maybe then they won't be so eager to say "f" this and "f" that. >:(
