Quoted


Are you getting bored of
traipsing around with your old, worn out equipment? Then it’s time to
add a sparkle to your gear. This weekend we’ve got the popular Jewels of Faith (+12/+16) on offer and you can save up to 50%! This will give you the chance to improve your armour or completely re-kit your character.

This weekend the Kobolds have once again been hard at work in the
mines of Taborea. They’re digging and excavating Diamonds like never
before which is why we can offer you a huge haul of Diamonds this
weekend!

Eh, even then. Level 80 gear is still viable for the next few levels. I doubt the level increase would go more than 3-4 levels, and level 80 gear is still viable at that level.

This weekend coincides with the release of a semi-anticipated game. Crap. Need to balance time AND money this weekend. >.<

Yes, for the past 2 weeks or so they have done quite a few very good sales. Hopefully they see their revenues increase in order to prove that this game indeed is very profitable, it's just that they had it abandoned for far too long :) .

@ Atriedes I think we won't see new content or release of new map for some time. Even if it is released, as Jguy stated, level 80 gear it is still very viable. Also we have to take into consideration that not many people have done Bethomia HM, except those that farmed it with Bedim buffs...at least on Palenque :p .

Yea it looks like it's stabilizing a bit and finding their true market value. However, the gold hack still has not been removed so they could inflate once more any time greedy people want. Palenque was around 130k yesterday, haven't checked today though ;) .

Pretty much. I went to the AH and they were 180k/190k each yesterday. A friend said they don't actually sell at those prices so I tossed a few up for 150k. Sold within 30 minutes.

As for this sale.. bought 10 jewels to get my staff from +12 to +16... got it to +14. I think I'll just leave it at that. Waste of near 300 diamonds.

While I'm glad of the diamond sale, I sure as heck won't be putting another dime into this game until they fix the horrible fail rate on the gems they just put on sale this weekend. I don't mind putting money into a game and to be honest, I probably put more into a video game than I should. But when I pay for something I expect to get value for my money. When I spend 99 diamonds to go from +12 to +13 it just feels like I'm getting cheated.

Lol.

Reni diamond prices were at one point almost 500k per. They all of the sudden took a nose dive and have been hovering around 145k in AH. Some players are world chat trading for around 100k per. I think I might unload 1000 dias tomorrow on world chat for Reni. :)
