Another Killer Daily offer!

Today only!!!

1 x Lesser Speed Mount Potion (7 Days) for *only* 10 diamonds!!!

(of course, if you just buy in the normal CS for 10 daimonds gets you 1 x Lesser Speed Mount Potion (7 Days) and 1 Ruby)


Guess this will teach you not to ask for 30% pots!

seems like still noone looked into the US itemshop at all, because those daily items are supposed to be 50% off - and the EU default price for these is 19 diamonds (and gets you 3 rubys).

Yet another crap sale. What we need are 30% and 30% only.

I think you hit the nail on the head YomanROM...when prices are put up on the US side (regarding sales and percentages off), the person in charge of the CS on the US side is just copying prices from the EU sales.
With the differences in pricing on some items in the EU vs US, this shows up as silly errors, today's daily offer as a prime example. It's almost like its automated and no live person is checking???

Our 30 day 10% pots are 20 diamonds with 3 rubies. This has always been the pricing on these items as far as I can remember.

7 day 10% speed pot with 1 ruby = 10 dia
30 day 10% speed pot with 3 rubies = 20 dia

Ultimately though, that is what it really comes down to... it seems very clear that there isn't actually a human looking at this stuff. I could be wrong but, honestly, it is too depressing to think about somone actually going over this stuff day by day and having this many "oversights" and "mistakes".

since these daily offers are supposedly pre-planned, i'd think someone just makes a list of the stuff and puts it on for a certain week X, and it just goes live on all servers.


19d/3r / 39d/7r for the pots btw here.

we also going to have another happy hour diamond sale. so many players already got enough diamonds in their accounts waiting to spend them on something good in CS.

We've known that for some time... I think the difference is that we thought that, at some point, it was a person making that list after analysing the data and taking into account the suggestions and requests forwarded by the CM's. In fact, it just seems to be one big spreadsheed and whatever comes up as top seller A, B, and C goes into the pot...

Thing is that, since many of the items that we counted on to get in sales (either because they were/are prohibitively expensive [puries] or only offered that way [30% pots]) haven't been offered much or at all since Dec., they are obviously not going to show up as a frequent purchase.

The reverse is true on last weekend's sale. I can only immagine that they put Gotcha's up as the "Grande Finale" of the "Birthday Week" because the RoMBoT CS 3000mk F* saw that a whole bunch of people on the NA servers LOVED Gotcha 108 a few weeks ago... Which of course is true because the one that got "got" was the house, for once...

* = guess what F stands for?

There has never been a perma mount that cost more than 450 diamonds at full price to the best of my memory.

BTW Frogster... I've got a brand new crisp $1 bill valued at $2.50... But today you can have it at 50% off, for only $1.25.

I think the charity mounts where either 499 or 599 diamonds. http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/news,id175…ity_mounts.html (whoa! News that isnt deleted)

I stand corrected, but the higher price on these went to a good cause.

And I dont mean "Its 'good cause' it's lining our pockets."

Could be wrong but I remember the Black Pegasus being either 1k or 5k diamonds when it was first released....Was around halloween 2 years ago.

Ellwood above has it, or almost.

It was before your time here, but there was at least one of note: the *original* Black Pegasus Mount (Permanent) that was offered around Halloween 2010, for 1313 diamonds. And yes, there were people who willingly paid for it. (Get it? "1313 diamonds". Halloween? Bad luck numbers? Reference to the house address for The Munsters--1313 Mockingbird Lane? Subtle "gallows humor", indeed!)

Several months later, they were all RAGEQUIT-yammering when Frogster offered it again for...wait for it...450 diamonds. Demands for refunds, compensation, or whatever followed.

Later still, more RAGEQUIT when RW offered a White Pegasus and an "improved" Black Pegasus, both of which could go over water without going *poof*, for 399 diamonds. Lots of requests and demands that the 1st gen Black Pegasus mounts be exchanged for the new model(s). Or refunds. And/or both.

Just remember that "early adopters" take their chances.

Don't forget the inflation, exchange rate, convience charge, facilities charge, service fee, and tithe... bringing the total too... well... as it is 50% off and all... let's just call it $2.00.

But remember, it could have been worse... I could have charged you the full $7.00 I was going to origially, right?

Howbout you just give me a $10.00 and we'll call it even?
