I've been looking at the subscribe option. Is it worth it? I don't plan on playing forever. It just seems like one of my little fads. Should I subscribe?

Yeah, I'm going to sign up! It's only 4 dollars for one month! It's like the price of ice cream! Yummmm...ice cream. Now I'm hungry!

I'm basically just re-posting what I said earlier to DaRu when she had the same question...I could say it better, but this works. It really is a great game with a great system and great for the price. (Did I mention "great"?) (I thought I did)

First off...Subscribing is a great deal. The fact that you get 8 cases vs. 3 cases is worth it right there, even if you don't join an agency.

Second off...Agencies are fun. You've got your private message boards within your agency that (if you've got the right people, and we do) are funny and informative and a really interesting way to meet people. The equipment locker is a great way to get good equipment (based on agency mates getting equipment that they might not need and just store for agency use). Plus, if you are in an agency the agency usually will accumulate a good deal of money so you've got someone to bankroll your trips to the shady character. Perhaps the best thing about agencies is the ability to store cases so that an agency mate that has a contact that clammed up on you can help you solve the case as well as occasionally get another chance at a witness or suspect that clammed.

Third...Crime lab is nice, but in general if you have enough people with the contacts you need it doesn't really come in handy. It basically, once a day, allows you to check a piece of evidence in a case that an agency mate has stored and lets you see if you can determine it's origin (ie see if a hair is curly or straight or if a footprint comes from a heavy or slim person).

Finally..Eight bucks for three months is a heckuva deal. Look around at other games on-line (Runescape, Yohoho, Everquest) and you'll see that subscribing here is a fantastic deal. It's almost too good for the price (Ben, you didn't read that last part).

Hope this helps.

Random Question Alert!

Can one send cash?

Jun-16-2004 13:26

Instead of a check, that is?

Jason, I have to say you make "Sleuth" very appealing. You should be paid for your advertising, ha!. You have convienced me to subscribe, and I'm doing so tonight. If I put my check in the mail tonight, how soon can I get my agency setup?

i'm an aussie, so how can i send $$ for subscription (if i decide to)?

Apparently via paypal (Easy to set up account)- Bella Luna's advice - I have a debit Visa which acts as a credit card if you don't like credit cards as such..Not to sell by the way ;)

Yea.. Can I just pay by credit card?
