I bet 10 gold on Halloween. If not then double or nothing for Christmas. As long as I'm member I think at least one of those holidays has always had a sub offer.
Tomiums cloudy bowl could have told him that too btw.
The only "cloudy bowl" Tomium is look at is made out of porcelain.
Re-sub offers should be in the works all the time, but they are not and neither is my re-sub. Good Game.

As some others have said, a sub offer that coincides with the start of the Halloween content would be awesome.
I doubt they'll have a Halloween one. To be brutally honest, the fault of the lack of content and general malaise of the game comes from you the player and the infamous 1 year up-front payment sub. You guys don't seem to understand basic business or more accurately basic human nature. If you give them everything that they want up front then they have absolutely no incentive for them to do anything with the game.
In other words, there is no rigor and there is no discipline. Money=discipline, it cuts through, clarifies, and enhances the essence of progress and effort. Without the carrot (or stick..aka can't pay the electricity bill for that month) these guys will do *just* the right amount to stay afloat. The blame is entirely on your (the player's) shoulders.
Oh, really?
I buy Funcom points during the year while under my 'annual sub'. If I pay for a full years subscription, then I am more likely to stay with the game and comment in game and on the forums. Buying a one month sub means that I can drop out at any time with no 'penalty'.
Blaming the player base for causing the game to fail because we want annual subscriptions doesn't work for me. They already offer an annual sub with discounts anyway, the longer you sub the bigger the discount. I like bells and whistles: I buy the sub offers with special mounts vs social gear. Which is why mine ran out before the anniversary. While waiting for the special anniversary offer. Which was offered a month and a half BEFORE the anniversary.
So now I'm waiting once again. But its not my fault that Funcom isn't as popular as WOW or as active just because I'd rather pay for a year up front than to get a monthly subscription. Funcom probably makes as much money from the item shop anyway as subscriptions. And if you don't play the game you can't buy things from the store.

Not sure you are making sense. FC is offering rather long-term sub offers because they want to cover the fixed costs of their live team. The live team then produces content for TSW, which still has a somewhat larger playerbase which FC hopes to sell stuff to. This has been the model ever since TSW went btp.
Now you are correct in saying that this leads to FC not doing anything with AoC content-wise. But in terms of sub offers (which are in point here), it should give them an evident incentive to keep people subbed - in particular as sub offers come at virtually no cost to FC (give people some ring with an old skin and new stats, some pots and other crap and you're set). So the fact that we're not seeing any new sub offers has nothing to do with the long-known fact that FC is milking AoC subbers - rather, it shows that they are not even doing that properly.
Ceterum censeo - their TSW-focused model is failing:

BS|Sin|Demo|Barb|Conq
Sudatorius|Noob barb on Rage
I'll chat with marketing about a new sub offer and leave the financial speculation to you!
