94% are renewed? There is not much to drop catch then?

A few warnings from last year: You can pay in many ways (Paypal, visa etc.) but if they can't get a domain for you, they reimburse only to a Russian bank account :). Paypal disputing doesn't work for "virtual items" and when you try to dispute with your credit card company they cancel all your domains, even the undisputed portion. Nice. Try it if you don't believe me. It happened to me.

renewal rate usually sits at around 70-75%. 94% is impressive, almost as impressive as Chechenya voting 90+% for Putin a while back

I didn't think about that. But whatever the percentage may be, I am guessing nic.ru is going to keep on being greedy and won't let the good ones drop. Especially after they got away with what they did last year.
