    The whole point of the VIP is to keep people logging in, and harder to break away from the game.

    So it would be stupid for them to allow this function to exist. Anyone who got bored would just put it on hold and disappear.

    And if you can't give up keys due to vacation then I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

    Apparently, poking holes in ideas is a no-no for some people and we're all just supposed to say "Love the idea and I totally believe it can happen".

    No, but calling people "selfish" or "greedy" or "part of the me generation" or whatever because they suggested that they'd like an option (realistic or not) to obtain the full value of a thing they paid for is denigrating.

    Disagreeing with someone without calling them names or attacking their character, I know, it's outrageous.

    (Denigrating comment was probably not aimed at you, I'd have to read back.)

    I understand that's all but if you'll add an option to stop VIP for exmple for 5 days in one month this will be good enough.
    That's mean you are carring for your customers, that's not a much service, really...

    yeah, now you have the players which can payed 1 year of VIP and playing such often as they wont. It doesn't keep them on the game, if they wonna leave. Yes, you got your money and don't care anymore.

    but if you'll look on such players who buy 1-2 months of VIP but regularly, if they will lose a connection or anything else will happined so if they lose their VIP too, for next month i didn't care they will buy next Level of VIP. Because they will thought Will i play this game as long more or not? But if you carry about such playes they will be grateful. And we are 'regular players' also an important in game community because we make this game not empty for much biggest donaters.

    My dear friend, Simon cited this as one of the many reasons he left the game.
    "Looking over the changes in this game, I can't play Neverwinter. It is sucking the life out of me. Even with VIP I still fail to make enough to afford items."
    and
    "Even if not for the value, you are chained to the game. This is their plan all along. I would sometimes forget to claim my key in the morning and have to log on in the evening after work to make my claim. They made VIP to entice you to play daily and not just the weekends as I prefer to do."
    I never used VIP, don't plan to use it, and don't understand why I should have it either. But I do agree with @grimah , if I can suspend my cable, phone, gas, and electric bills to go on holiday, so why not VIP??

    A fairy tale:
    When Ao calculated the cost of VIP he had it planned for a higher price at the first calculations (10% more ZEN per month).
    A wizard came along and said "hey, buddy, most folks will not be able to claim the key every day. Consider 5 weeks holiday, network outage and other reasons over the year. Why not reduce the price by 10% as about 10% of the keys won't be claimed. That would be fair!"
    Ao agreed, leading to the prices we have today. Then he said " ... and those who claim more than 330 keys per year will have shown their devotion to Faerun and deserve to get a few keys for free".
    Thus it was, trust my words!
