Not sure if this has been proposed or considered but would it be possible to add a level of membership. In particular something between basic and premium. I would be interested in some perks beyond the basic level of play but not quite willing to pay the premium membership with everything thats going on. I would be interested in having access to certain areas that are premium only but still only have my one character. Maybe earn more Simucoins and be eligible for other premie only benefits.
The tiers could be called:
Platinum - Platinum Tier - no change in dues
Premium - Gold Tier - no change in dues
New tier - Silver Tier - $19.95
Basic tier - Bronze Tier - no change in dues.
Thank you for your consideration.

I like this idea. If I were to be a "Silver Tier" rather than "Gold" I would want the increased vault storage, which is useful, at least for my trader but would be willing to give up my home which seems to be mostly useless fluff (as well as a drain on resources?)
Of course then we couldn't be called Estate Holders. :D
Is there anyone with a standard subscription that is not willing to upgrade to Premium but might be willing to go to something in between that would care to comment on what they would like in return?

What I really want is a single-character Premium option.
I don't need +15 character slots; that's the only part of Premium I don't want/need. I'd love to maintain a Premium subscription, but I can't (personally) justify the markup when I play a single character.
The perks are great and desirable. The character slots being baked-in to the price doesn't work for me.

Gotcha. That's not quite how I interpreted it, but we're agreed in principle. Your post mentioned hunting areas specifically, and possibly "be eligible for other premie only benefits". It sounded like you were advocating for an à la carte option.
I want the whole package except the additional slots (and the price markup that comes with them). Premium, obviously, should cost more than a Standard subscription.
Premium as-is with one character slot instead of sixteen slots = happy me, paying more than I am today.

I'd like 3-5 character slots, access to premium hunting, vaults, and QoL verbage like DEBT and ACCOUNT.
I don't want a house, I don't want raffle access, I don't want gifts, and I don't need premium points, or any other fluffy estate holder perk.
The premium experience perks I'd love, but honestly feel that should be reserved for the higher tier.
Also I'd suggest making the speed travel options (airships,mammoths) a higher tier perk, but allow that higher tier to lead groups of any level of paid subscriber|travel pass, and add a few more speed travel methods.
Also consider adding some higher tier only shops at festivals, etc.

I personally like this, i have 10 characters on 2 accounts.. yet i have access to 22 MORE characters if i so choose. a Bit accessive, 5 Max would be fine since im not powerleveling to sell characters...
I like the hunting areas, the vault perks and bank perks <ie books and transfers>
I like having access to Fang Cove, though i do wish you could exit @ whatever portal destination you choose <could be higher tier perk>
I was thinking something similar of a Weekend Premium thing for people who cant justify paying the Premium membership for a whole month when they for whatever reasons, job, family etc are not going to put in time during the week and most of their time in, is as a weekend warrior, so to speak.
I would gladly drop a bit in price and lose some of the sillier perks so long as the base premium perks are still there. Hunting, Vault, Bank, FC and maybe get 1/2 LTB.
Heck i might even get a third account, just to add more convenience on my end.
Definately a workable solution i think if the GMs and powers that be really want to make some extra money cus i think theres a few people like me and others who've posted that having 5 characters on an account, and seeing i have 11 more slots left open is a bit much. Like its paying for something i personally will never use since i have 2 accounts already.
Just one man's thoughts..
