Would it not be possible to upgrade from lite to standard to ultimate? And if you've upgraded are those purchases counting as veteran or rookie?Quote:

Too bad I got my license in November 2017, but $60 is definitely worth it.
My only complaint is the lack of rich text format support and other advanced text formatting options. I find highlighting and changing text color to be incredibly useful as a DM, and really helps me organize and quickly find key information in the middle of game. Personally, I'd rather have that than dynamic lighting and fancy weather effects :(
Veteran: Bought it 2017 or prior
FGC Ultimate to FGU Ultimate for $60
FGC Standard to FGU Standard for $29
This is gorgeous. Hits a nice spot for me pricing-vise. I have had a lot of good times with my ultimate license so I won't mind paying $60 to keep using it with the new version.

I plan to buy the Veteran: Bought it 2017 or prior, FGC Ultimate to FGU Ultimate for $60. Will my players be able to download a demo version? And where will the info for downloads be posted on? Kickstarter?

2. Related to #1, assuming the answer is "no", if a GM is using the Beta (from having backed the Kickstarter), will backers also get access to a free FGU version they can pass on to their players for testing?
3. It's very clear that FGU will be fully backwards compatible with FGC content (and, thank you for that!). But, will there be any issues with running content created within FGU in FGC?
Looking forward to the KS!
Ok,so the way I heard it is... If you buy it new ultimate license or previously bought the ultimate license in 2018,2019 then your upgrade fee is $30 for the Unity upgrade. However I bought the ultimate license in 2017 for the same price of $149 ,but what I heard for anyone before 2018 has to pay $60 for a upgrade to Unity Ultimate license. I feel this is unfair considering that I have been promoting FG over Roll20 longer and bought books at a higher price since the books hardly ever went on sale and there wasn't bundle packs back then. I literally missed the difference to 2018 by like 4 months and it doesn't make sense for me to pay a higher price of $30 dollars more. Please reconsider your prices,for it seems unfair to me to pay a total of $210 dollars compared to a BRAND new player paying $180 for the same Unity Ultimate license.
This post of mine I copied from the youtube live stream.
Think of it this way - you've had 2 years use of FG for that $30 difference!Quote:

Yeah, maybe, but there has to be a cutoff somewhere - without having extremely complex sliding scales which confuse users (just see how many questions there have been for the current simple pricing) and creates a massive overhead for SmiteWorks. You've used FG for 2 years, you're now getting to use FGU for $60, $30 more than people who've used it for less time and $119 less than people who are completely new to FG. Most people who've commented on the pricing structure seem to think this is a very reasonable pricing structure.
If I payed 120 for my ultimate license than I can see the 60 dollar difference to make it 180 total dollars. There shouldn't be a TIME LINE on the price difference but what you payed for the Ultimate license. Like I said if I payed 120 but I payed 150 for the license in 2017,so I feel that it's unfair because I see a time owned factor and not the difference on what you payed for it. I assume this is what they were going with, that the majority payed 120 before 2018 so they see the 60 dollars as a fair price upgrade for a new customer at 180.
