11/27 to 12/5 weeky store sale

Store page has been updated, no forum post from quartermaster yet:

https://www.ddo.com/en/store

The double TP sale that was prematurely announced last week is live.
Free item of the week is Lesser Guild Renown pot (GLUP9).
20% off hearts (heroic, lesser and greater) Fail on listing greater, since U20 combined greater with lesser? Epic and iconic hearts not listed, but haven't checked the store.
also, xp hp and sp pots on sale.

Oh, and cordovan announced bonus of 30% xp now through Dec1. Level up your heroic alts to 20 and qualify for the VIP free epic heart deal. How convenient.

Hopefully there will be a black Friday special on top of this, but that has not been announced.

Quarermaster responds in a player thread title "Black Friday" that buying Shadowfail with 11k TP "bonus" for $ is a better deal than the currently posted and live double TP sale.

$15 one gets 1K TP, much better deal for farming accounts. Collector's for your main account though if you don't have it already somehow.

QM has fixed and removed greater from ad. Someone started a thread on motherforums and pointed out the error. DDO players: bug reporters, QA, and editors.

It's a trap! Wait for the 70%.  Smiley

50% was within predicted range.

Can also add on the legendary upgrade for $25 and the Underdark standard edition for $17.50. (and the 11k TP bundle for $60 if you are into that kind of thing).

All available at checkout. And no, you can't still get the reduced price if you remove the Shadowfell from the cart. It seems the Market coders think things through a bit more than the game devs.

A long time ago, there was a TP price point under $10, perfect for upgrading alt bank/farm accounts. I believe it was around $5.
Anyone know the lowest $ spend for TP these days?

You used to be able to get $5 through cust support phone, you can't anymore. The lowest now is the $8, the same in-game or on phone.

$15 for Shadowfell + 1Ktp is obviously a great deal for farming accounts. Plus it's a code, so you can get suckers nice people to trade you PP for it.

Dug up an old email confirmation from when I simply wanted to make the switch to premium the cheapest way possible at the time for the 2 character slots and auction house posting abilities.

Shadowfell has the most valuable items ATM, for better or worse. Only thing that can compete is Tor helms. If you're farming items, you're farming Shadowfell.

What about the new raid SOON to be released jan 2014? That wouldn't require shadowfail expansion, probably be its own adventure pack.

20% off hearts


Le sigh.
Lack of attention to detail. Not shocking.

Double points posted a week in advance. Oops.
Listed greater hearts. Oops.
Now, quartermasters forum post list the hearts on sale for 25% off, differing from the store page:

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/431536-Rise-Again!-25-off-Hearts-of-Wo...

Oops.

Why would I pay real money to farm for BtCoE items I can just buy with fake money in game.

To sell them for fake money. Maybe you missed the part where I said "for farming accounts"?

Also, you're buying the pack for fake money - it's on the DDO Market, it's a code.

I was fearing this moment. I don´t want to buy it, because I think Turdbine don´t deserve the monies. But 2000 TPs would be great, and 3 character slots...and...and...
ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

I hear you.
Ignoring the content,

For $25 you get
2000 tp (arguably worth $20)
3 iconics
3 slots
Epic learning tome
+2 skill tome

Tough choice

Do people still pay money for this game? I haven't spent anything on DDO since 2010-2011. I sold items for codes to get anything worth getting since MotU. Especially since the only benefit to premium is usually cosmetic! Grin

being a DDO crackhead, wouldn't getting more of the stuff make you feel something besides dirty?

Yes it satisfies me. To have all content again. But it also troubles me that the quality keeps dwindling, and I'm supporting this by buying it. I'm also not a fan of iconics, yet I'm supporting this concept by buying it. Whatever, my $20 won't save this game. On the other hand, I still hope everything turns out well in the end.
