Hi all,

 

I’ve been a subscriber for the entire 2 years I’ve been playing Torn, and I’ve always supported the game because I genuinely enjoy it. My current 1‑year subscription ends next month, and for the first time I’m really reconsidering whether the monthly doorstep rewards reflect the value of what we pay.

This isn’t a complaint — I’m hoping to get thoughts from more seasoned players and maybe spark a constructive discussion.

 

Any chance we can see some changes 

 

---

💰 Subscription Cost
- Total paid: $69.18 AUD  
- Monthly equivalent: $5.76 AUD

 

📦 Comparing to Donator Pack Value
Using a Donator Pack as a benchmark:
- DP cost: $7.13 AUD  
- DP value: ~24,000,000 (sometimes lower in bazaars and higher)

 

My monthly subscription cost ($5.76) equals 80.8% of a DP, which translates to:

➡️ 19,392,000 Torn cash equivalent

This feels like a reasonable baseline for what a monthly subscriber reward could reflect.

 

📈 Suggestion
I’d love to see subscriber rewards brought closer to a minimum value of ~15m, with the potential to reach 20–50m on lucky months.

 

This would:
- Better reflect the real‑world subscription cost  
- Make subscribing feel more rewarding  
- Encourage long‑term support from players like myself who have been subbed for years  

 

I’m happy to help brainstorm ideas or provide more data if needed.  
Would love to hear thoughts from long‑time players.

Thanks for reading,  


KPC

you get 50E extra and timer is less and dont forget the lucky points draw. thats what you are paying for. The sub rewards are just a bonus. :)

Gandalf [2031904]

You can't compare the value of a DP to the value of subscribing in this way- if you sell a DP for 20m, you don't get the 31 days of donator status. Subscribers get donator status, and it is the most reliable way to get access to books, some of which are very strong. Plus, there is lucky point draw, not to mention subscribing gives points similar to opening a donator pack.

blue names should be mandatory

 

you bought it, you should wear it.

 

 

 

I asked my wife if I could spend $1000 and get a blue name and she gave me a blue marker and sent me to the corner

I'd have liked to have seen a tiered system where the chance of receiving better items improved significantly with each consecutive year of subscribership.

MaxHeadRoom [1429645]

i have always subbed until about 2.5 yrs ago

 

there is simply too much broken with this game to warrant paying into it.

JamilB [94287] Reporter

Im considering it

 

I think the gifts are deceiving

 

Book are powerful yes, but the perks for each book dont always come in handy

 

SAShapeshifter [3765792]

Well this was mine.
05:16:23 - 01/02/26 You found a Tin of Treats and a Lawyer's Business Card on your doorstep.

Yey money well spent.

JamilB [94287] Reporter

can you even use a book again if you have already read it?

 

I made the mistake of reading the defense gain book ( no shame) 

 

i am hoping to have the chance to read it again when i have the proper stats
