I think there should be lower prices to become a sub. I think it's a little too expensive. Plus... if the price is lower more people might become a subscriber!
What does everyone else think?

Price may not be an issue for people from countries with strong economies, but certainly it may be a really big issue for people in other countries.
As an example, 30 dollars is aproximately 10% of the official minimum monthly salary in my country. But a lot of people don't even get the minimum. In other countries they make even less.
Just look at the number of subscibers by country, and you will see that the price is a determinant factor.

Just a thought. And I only want 3% of the take and a lifetime subscription for the idea. 😀

Originally posted by RedmikeI agree. Implementation of differentiated rates wouldn't be practical, and there would be a lot of cheating going on.

After all, it is not RHP problem. I'm just making a point to when people says that 30 dollars is not much.

On the registration form there could be section where you could put in what your average earnings are for that country and a country of residence section on the form? Maybe that could help?
