Pricing at ncSoft and In-Game Store - Guild Wars Forums

SurareVaera · May 06, 2009, 05:47 PM // 17:47

I was seriously considering purchasing a name-change for my dervish, but $14.99 was triple what I was expecting or willing to pay.

I'm wondering what the community thinks about the pricing standards at the ncSoft and In-Game Store, particularly for the new options made available from the 4th anniversary content update. Do people think the Xunlai Storage Panes, Makeover Credits, and Name-Change options are too expensive, too cheap, or priced inconsistently with respect to other content such as new character slots, PvP unlock packs, and the Mission Bonus Pack?

Personally, I think the new options are too expensive, especially for a game that's been out for 4 years. I would be willing to pay about $5 for Makeover Credits and Name-Changes. I don't think i need 4 extra pages of storage, but there should be some kind of deal, like buy 3 panes at $9.99 each and get the 4th free.

There's been around 100 threads made about this and it gets more annoying when I see another one being made.
If you think the pricing is too high, don't buy the product, simple.

Theres alot of threads around about this subject.

My opinion is that they are abit over the top.

Easy to say this, but it doesnt hold. Everyone has done something they later on down the road would like to change or wish they wouldnt have done. Thats part of living life/growing older.

Fact is ...things change...they always change..everyday we are different. So to simply say dont name your characters retarded names that you will question later is well........

Name changes, makeovers, etc... were not an option a year ago. And still not an option any of us need to buy to continue playing. If you still want them, you'll find a way to justify the cost.

Peel your own potatoes for a week instead of going to McDonalds.

15$ isn't much for a nice extra for a game I've been playing for 3000+ hours.
