IMO there is no difference in buying albums with gems as with cash as before. It's the same just a new method. I am not a badge hound and don't care if my albums are filled. The poppit to go was a free trial, then if wanted to play more it has to be purchased. They don't make us buy any of the albums etc. I didn't like the increase in the annual fee but it's still cheap compared to going to the movies every week or going to a bar and spending money.Spend that amount easily in one evening. The same goes for the albums. They are not twisting our arms to buy anything. Imagin there are 10000's of members who don't buy the albums let alone the auto programs. I go there because I enjoy the games. I can't get myself upset over the additional cost Pogo throws at us. Remember this is IMO.
As far as the mini's are concerned there were some decent background that could get with tokens and same with clothes and goodies. I personally don't care for the animated backgrounds, the only item I spent gems on was the falling snow. I never look at players profiles to see the mini's, I only see my own so not spending $$ on the mini.

I understand what you are saying but I see it slightly different. They wouldnt be so money hungry in my thinking if they would re invest a little of the money in say NEW SERVERS or PEOPLE able to get the job done. I hold my breath on Tuesday just hoping it all works when they get it going after maintence. Also if you lived in the UK you would not even have the chance to buy premium books gems or special mini mall items. Dont worry about what you cant get but enjoy what you have. Right now I am able to get things Pogo offers. But in December of 07 my husband will be retiring and that will probably change and I will just do what I can. Have fun and enjoy what you have. Besides with him retiring I will be going back to work and the whole Pogo obession may fade into the mist.

For those that keep complaining, I have some comparisons for you that might put it in better perspective. Think of pogo as your beloved cable company. You have a basic free service which gets you local channels. Pay a little but per month and you get some extra channels (like club games), want some premium channels like HBO and showtime, well that's a little more (premium albums anybody), want that pay-per-view moive (Mix and Match) that you have to pay a one time fee for.
If you feel you are getting ripped off, shop elsewhere. If enough people do that, they will lose money and change policies

I don't buy into the gems or premium books(I did buy the first 3 premium books awhile ago). I just figured I'll spend my money on other stuff.
I think the whole problem I have with pogo is their server issues and the lack of support from their employee's.
I choose not to buy anything else on there because to me, it's a waste of my money. I'll keep my club pogo but that's it. There's a few games I love on Club pogo.
I understand both sides of this.
