From looking at the 2nd paragraph, it seems they are referring to what you asked and seems they are 1k per.

Thanks. Very useful information.

Nothing I see jumps at me as must-buy, though. Hard to say with "package inside package" sale.

Why they heck do they do that, anyway? Some of the package names are not unique. For example runesdb has two packages named "PVP package". Both have 5 jewels of each type, but one has Holy Lights and one has Revelation. No way to tell, what version is included in the weekend sale packages AFAIK.

Looks like a ripoff, compared to the other +jewel packages with the 3 of each +6,+12 and +16 pack. Looks like I'll have to wait a little longer to + my staff :(

Anddd here are the price Differences:

Big Deal I and II (Same price)
Big Bang I and II (Same price)

Premium Armor Package 129 dias (130% markup)
Premium Acc Package 135 dias (136% markup)
Premium Weapon Package 139 dias (121% markup)
Premium All in one Package 289 dias (118% markup)
Ultimate Premium Package Gold 435 dias (119% or 113% markup)
Ultimate Premium Package Platinum 689 dias (138% markup)
Ultimate Premium Admantium Package 999 dias (137% markup)

I am confused about how they decide the markup values but especially why they didn't include the Big Deal and Big Bang packages.

How about a package I can really use:

2 x 4 Package
2 Small Puri Pack
2 ABL
2 Grand Golden Repair Hammers
2 Random Attribute Extraction Stone

Now that would make me want to buy diamonds.

Okay Dionaea your turn why the 110-138% price increase. Please don't say exchange rates, cause from what I know about the virtual items is they are pixels with no monetary value. Hmmm does it say that anywhere in the EULA?

Dionea is just a mouth piece and does not serve us. She is simply here to deflect.

So if I were ever banned, and virtual items were subject to monetary and international exchange rates, my full CS bag would actually have value hundreds of dollars worth in fact. Would I get a refund? Hmm me thinks it won't work both ways...

Sigh, regentego that is what we are currently discussing in the other thread, no? Because the US IS and EU IS are currently still different in content and offers, obviously. And like I so kindly asked everyone in the other thread, name us your wishes and i gladly forward them.

Ultimately, it matters not at all what the diamond price is. If region A sells item for X diamonds and region B sells them for X*2 diamonds, but in region A you get double the amount of diamonds for your dollar, then you are paying same price. I dont care in long run how many diamonds I need to spend for an item. I care how many dollars.

But....

The last time the subject came up, the argument was made by some people (including myself) that if EU gets less diamonds for their dollars, exchanged into euros, of course, then their diamond-denominated prices should be lower. Unfortunately, it looks like the rate is similar. If I buy diamonds here for $20, then take another $20, change it to Euros and go buy diamonds on EU server, I would get similar amount of diamonds over there. Which means that both sides get same or similar diamond per dollar price. And that would suggest that same items should cost the same amount of diamonds.
