Premium Membership prices increasing from October

  • Comment
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. For a full list of benefits you can take a look at our Premium Membership info page.

    It's not worth it, I just bought the 30 day membership. Slow downloads still and mostly the site is down more than it's up and running. SOmeone just make a site dedicated for TES, and Fallout mods and you're golden stop expsanding and moving stuff around and stick with what works and improve upon that. I really wish there was another place to download mods and no I'm not trolling it's just frustrating coming here and it's always super slow or just down entirely.

    Lets see what I actually said:
     
    At the start of the new year we're going to be decommissioning all our current file servers as they're close to their space capacity, replacing the current 19 file servers: 15 for everyone and 4 for Premium Members with 23 brand new ones, 20 for everyone and 3 for Premium Members. Why a drop for Premium Members? A couple of reasons. We've bought Premium servers in various locations across the globe to act as alternatives to the normal servers. These haven't worked out as well as I'd hoped and they're often unreliable for people. I'll be replacing them with some top quality stuff in Dallas, Washington and Amsterdam that will cost twice as much. I want Premium Members to realise that the real bonus on the downloading front isn't the Premium-only servers but instead is the speed cap being removed and the ability to multi-thread your downloads in NMM. Some Premium Members come undone because they will only use the Premium-only servers when the normal servers are equally or often times better suited for their connection.

     there is only one premium server and it's so overloaded all you get is an error message. Dark0ne himself bluntly said he is taking down atleast half the premium servers and purposely slowing down the single premium one left to force people to use the standard speed ones. Basically, if you buy a premium membership you get absolutely nothing for your money but smart-assed comments from the Admins.

    This blows my mind, because for me the premiums don't even work..I was getting about 300kb/s on normal, upgrade to prem and it was about 1Mb/s (which still is horrible) and it dropped to 150kb/s which is where it stayed.

      Is this why I cannot change NMM to download to the premium servers in the NMM set up area?


    No.... NMM is down for everyone.

    So I am already a life time premium member at the old price of $39.99 does this mean I have to pay an additional $10.00?  Is this why I cannot change NMM to download to the premium servers in the NMM set up area?

    Payment options
    We currently provide payment facilities for credit and debit cards [So a Mastercard  or Visa should work fine.] as well as PayPal who also support credit cards, debit cards, PayPal payments and bank transfers. You can choose to either pay once (non-recurring), or you can setup a (recurring) subscription that will automatically charge your account when your Premium Membership expires. When you proceed to the checkout you can choose your preferred payment method from a list.
     
    Pricing is in GBP ( £ ), so the exact cost to you will depend on the exchange rate at the time the transaction processes.  Today that's approximately: €30.25 for 12 months (and "Lifetime" is just less than twice that.)
     
    Here's the link to get you started:  Go Premium!

    The ads on the site are incredibly invasive. Sometimes if I had multiple tabs open while looking something up on a different site the ads would start playing out of no where. I have adblock but I originally had an exception for Nexus so I could support it better. After those video ads started I just couldn't do it anymore. Just my two cents on the ad matter. I bought Premium membership a few days ago after reading about all the server changes going on. Now I'm kicking myself for not having bought it years ago, it's great. Been trying to talk other people I know into doing it as well.
     
     I have had one issue; I was promised more results per search page and no matter what I change in my settings I can't get more than the base number. Bummer.


     
    When you make changes in your settings are you remembering to hit "submit" afterwards? it's easily missed.
