These include;
- No Adverts
- Faster Downloading speeds
- A silly little logo on your profile
Recently the prices have been increased, supposedly this is in accordance with the rise in inflation. After speaking to various members they insist that premium membership is a complete waste of money. The adverts can be easily blocked using the Firefox/Chrome adblock addon. If you're patient the extra downloading speed is completely pointless.
The nexusmods website has been plagued with problem after problem and most of the time the site is completely inaccessible due to the dreaded 502 error.
Many suspect that the premium membership system is just a scam to fund Robin Scotts insatiable greedy appetite. Personally I don't think it will be long before members are required to use the nexus mod manager to download files from the site. It's a perfect medium to track what gamers are playing and to force them to view adverts.
It's sad to see a website creating a two tier system where there is such a disparity between rich and poor. Meanwhile the premium members will happily continue to pay and be misled.
Everyone should be treated equally.
Don’t you hate it when you pay for something and then the next day it goes on sale? Don’t you equally hate it when you’re thinking about buying something but continue to put it off and then the price goes up? That’s why I’m here to give you a friendly heads-up that from October we’re going to be raising our Premium Membership prices in-line with, drum-roll please, inflation. Fact is money isn’t worth as much as it used to be (does that make sense?) and money is exactly what we need right now.
We launched our Premium Membership back in 2006 and since then it’s become an extremely important stream of revenue for the Nexus. Without it this network simply wouldn’t exist. We’ve spent over £120,000 ($187,000) in the past few months on trying to sort out the stability of the network for the future. We’re still not done and we’ll continue to invest in the infrastructure until we’ve got it right. It’s been an expensive year as we’re currently running (and paying for) our new system in parallel with our old one until the new one is ready, which means we’re essentially paying double right now. If you ever wondered what your Premium Membership goes towards, that’s what it goes towards. And the 4 dedicated programmers working on the site. And the 37 servers we have running the network (that number goes up every time I write about this sort of stuff!). And the 3 GBits of bandwidth we use every second. And so on.
From the start of October our prices for Premium Membership will be rising as follows:
Life time of Supporter membership (not the same as Premium). Originally £1. Now £1.29. 1 month of Premium Membership. Originally £2.49. Now £2.99. 3 months of Premium Membership. Originally £6.99. Now £8.49. 6 months of Premium Membership. Originally £11.99. Now £14.49. 12 months of Premium Membership. Originally £19.99. Now £24.49. Life time of Premium Membership. Originally £39.99. Now £49.99. Remember Premium Membership at any level gives you an ad free experience on any and all Nexus sites, current or future (yet to be made sites), for life irrespective of whether you buy 1 month or a lifetime. You also get unrestricted download speeds on all the servers and multi-threading enabled file downloads to a maximum of 4 threads per file.
