hey,
They should have just raised the fucking price instead of inventing this moronic system.
That's all it does anyways. AM I RIGHT?

nice chick
For example:
I have selected the rapidmedium package which costs 20 points a day with a 5gb download limit. This is the same as the old system but all it does now is make it more expensive, if you compare the prices of the rapidpoints.
If they really wanted to do something about the people that were getting free accounts they could have just removed the old rapid points completly while keeping the same prices. That way they would have made more money because they would be buying more accounts. But instead ...
This way they have maximum profit by raising the overall price and getting rid of people being able to get free accounts all masked in some sort of new system to hide their greed :>

Auch generell finde ich das Rapidshare so ziemlich an der Spitze des Filesharing Businesses steht, zumindest fällt mir auf das so ziemlich alles was du suchst irgendwo auf Rapidhsare ist und die meisten EU Leute immer RS links dabei haben auch wenn sie noch andere anbieten (megaupload, netload etc)
Weiß nicht ob das so ne gute Idee wäre so n richtiges Monopol zu haben, immerhin ist ja bekannt das ohne Konkurrenz die Leute alles machen was sie wollen, zumindest preislich gesehen. Und wer weiß ob die nicht dann eventuell übernommen werden von nem Filmstudio oder so und plötzlich das ganze Filesharing total in Arsch geht, ich komm ja jetzt schon ohne ninjavideo nicht mehr klar -.-
I had my account valid for 350 days and more than 100k Free and Premium points. But now i have got around 7000 Rapids (20 rapids/day for 350 days: 350x20=7000). I didn't get any Rapids for my points. Where are my Free and Premium Points. I can't see them. Have they been wasted?
Answer
No they are not wasted. Click on Convert Rapid Points and select:
Premium RapidPoints -> Free RapidPoints
Now click on Redeem. You'll see a page at the bottom of page your premium points are displayed
max. available Premium RapidPoints = xxxxx
I don't know how to see free points any more. But i had already maded my free points equal to my premium points a couple of days ago. So i know they'll be same. Now if you want to convert them to Rapids just click on
Extend this Account for 30 days. OR Extend this Account for 365 days.
And your points will be converted to Rapids. You can refresh the premium zone page and check that your rapids have increased.
Question 1-B
I have more than 50 GB stored in my account. Will I be automatically shifted to RapidBig?
Answer
No. The shifting from smaller to bigger package is based on download. If you download more than 5 GB you'll be moved automatically from RapidMedium to Rapidbig. If your storage is more than the limit you won't be automatically upgraded.
Question 1-C
I have Rapidmedium package selected. If i download more than 5 GB, will i be automatically shifted to RapidBig?
Answer
Yes.
Question 1-D
I have already paid or extended my account for one year. I can't do all these calculations and manual changes to accounts everyday. Just please tell me if my account will remain the same as before.
Answer
Yes it can remain the same. You'll get 20 Rapids for every remaining premium day. All you have to do is choose Rapidmedium as your package which costs 20 Rapids as well. You'll get 5GB downloads per day. But those downloads cannot be added to next day if you don't use them. for this see Question 12.
Question 2
What will happen to my points after 29th June?
Answer
Well 5,000 Free-RapidPoints and 5,000 Premium-RapidPoints will become 600 Rapids. If you have more just do the math.
50,000 Free-RapidPoints and 50,000 Premium-RapidPoints will become 6000 Rapids.
100,000 Free-RapidPoints and 100,000 Premium-RapidPoints will become 12000 Rapids.
Question 3
In the new Plan, can we switch off Packages? Like if I have to download 5GB today and 1 GB tomorrow and no downloading for next day, could i use RapidMedium for day one (-20 Rapids), RapidSmall for day 2 (-4 Rapids)and disable premium the next day (0 Rapids)?
Answer
Well you can't completely switch off premium features. You have to at least selected RapidSmall which will cost you 4 Rapids/Day and will give you 1 GB daily limit. Other than that, you can sift between all packages as you wish.
Question 4
How many Rapids can we collect?
Answer
50,000. If you have more than 416667 FP and 416667 PP, they extra points will be wasted after 29th June.
Question 5
If you have more than 416667 FP and 416667 PP points, then these couldn't be converted to Rapids. What should i do with extra points?
Answer
Convert them to One year accounts and give em away toi friends or keep them for extra downloading otherwise they'll be wasted.
Question 6
Do I have to pay for upload? What would happen if I take the RapidSmall Package which only has 10 GB Storage? Would I be unable to upload more than 10GB? And what if i have 200GB in my account? Will Rapidshare delete all the 190 GB and will leave only 10 GB?
Answer
Your uploads won't be deleted as long as they are downloaded once every 60 days. Doesn't matter which package you have. The 10 GB storage mentioned in the news page means 10 GB of your files won't be deleted even if they are not downloaded for more than 60 days.
You can upload as much as you want and even if you have 300GB in your account, those files won't be deleted on 29th June or later as long as they are being downloaded once every 60 days.
Question 7
What is the most similar package to the previous one month premium account?
Answer
RapidMedium. It has the same 5 GB limit as one month account had. It's price becomes to around 7.5 Euro which is 0.5 Euro more costly. But since you can turn it off and on, it can be used for much more time.
Question 8
Will there be happy hours?
Answer
Nobody is sure. Maybe or maybe not. Wait until 29th June.
Question 9
Would RS give us any points for our files being downloaded?
Answer
At this point, it doesn't seem like there are any points for uploaders.
Question 10
Can we redeem Rapids for money?
Answer
No you can't - it's the other way around. The money you pay to get the account will now be converted to Rapids, which you can use to have package of your choice - small, medium, big.
Question 11
Is the new system more expensive than the previous monthly account system?
Answer
Depend on what package you take. If you want it exactly like before (5GB daily), then you can take RapidMedium which costs you 7.5 Euros, compared to 7 Euros before. But most of us have a few days of the month when we don't download much so we can disable premium features for those days to keep the Rapids lasting for more days. So honestly this is better than previous system for downloaders but there doesn't seem to be any happy hours.
Question 12
In the new system, will our download quota accumulate? For example if I take Rapidmedium (5GB/day) and don't download for 4 days will i get 4x5=20GB?
Answer
Nope. Doesn't seem like it from the Rapidshare page. You'll have to download your assigned quota every day or else it will be wasted.
But look at this from an alternate point of view - if you know that you are not going to download for the next 4 days, disable premium features. That will save you 80 Rapids. And on the fifth day take RapidBig which will cost you 78 Rapids and download 20GB. This will save you 2 Rapids as well.
Question 13
I used to buy 30 day accounts. Can I do the same now? Because 30 day mean 600 Rapids but on RS page you can either buy 400 or 1000 Rapids.
Answer
Well you can't buy exactly 30 day account now. If you use RapidMedium, you can buy following number of days:
20 days € 4,99
50 Days € 9,95
100 Days € 19,90
250 Days € 49,75
1000 Days € 199,00
Question 14
The new changes have taken place and my account is converted to "RapidSupersize" why cant i change to RapidSmall
Answer
Select "Automatically delete inactive files (after 60 days without a download)' & "RapidSmall" from the "Choose RapidShare package" option, but don't for get to "Deactivate Security Lock" first, than reactivate once you have selected save.
