	Quick Question - I can buy a preloaded credit card from WalMart, and us it to get the expansion without jacking up my main card on the account?

	bob the builder wrote on Feb 27^th, 2012 at 8:49am: I'm perplexed. How does some of this work for VIPs? Seems like VIPs should only buy the Base pack unless they want pets (guess we'll find out how much those tomes cost later today). Looking at that link, it appears VIPs do get the Druid class without buying anything new and whatever the stupid Challenge pack is. so for $30, we get the Epic Levels and the FR content. although it appears with the Collector's edition, every character you create automatically starts with the lesser tome of learning. Be nice if VIPs bought the Collector's edition, they would get the TP value of the two packs the give you.� Though I suppose if you ever wanted to do the "buy the game once and go F2P" that would be a good start. It seems to me that anyone who is currently a VIP should at least get the collectors edition and then stop being VIP.

	All I care about is whether the cosmetic pets are account based - so all my toons get summon Kitteh. Yes, I know. I'm shallow. My main running partner's already got his code. We shall be testing this later

	Initially I saw the $80 Collector's edition and thought "What a waste for VIPs"... then I did the research and the math. For an extra $50 (for collector's edition) you are getting: 1) $20 in TP (2000 points) 2) $15 to $25 in a Greater Learning tome (don't know the cost yet but between 1495 to 2495 TP probably). And this is ONE CHARACTER PER SERVER. If you play across servers, that's a lot of value. 3) A $10-$15 lesser learning tome on every character you have (existing and future) forever. 4) Less valuable, but Vet Status II on every server (not just the one you most likely have a character with 3000 favor on). 5) Headstart on going Premium F2P with the 2 Free adventure packs (if this is something you would do). 6) the fluff of the pets and the mask. so, almost two items in the collector's (TP and Greater Tome on one character) pay for the Collector's edition. Don't forget... a character on every server can get the Greater tome as well. That's huge if you play across servers. And to clarify other questions I saw in here: 1) The Druid is truly free to VIPs on Day One. 2) You only have to buy 1 of these 3 packs if you want the new EPIC Destinies levels and the new Forgotten Realms adventures. VIPs will get Druids and some new Challenges for free. Unless you just hate the store and never buy anything from it because you consider it cheating, the $80 pack more than pays for itself even if you are VIP. don't get hung up on the two FREE adventure packs you already own as a negative.

Yes, you can hide this purchase from Mrs. Stainer that way. You might have to go back and re-enter your other credit card information, but pre-purchased credit cards do work now. They did not work for online purchases about 6 months ago, but Turbine updated their software or something and "gift cards", etc. do work now (as long as you go to the gift card website to register your gift card with your name). You cannot put the gift card on your account for VIP, though, because the servers can tell that it won't work for recurring purchases.

My main running partner's already got his code. We shall be testing this later From what I saw in the FAQ, every character can summon the pets... but the pet is the same for each one... you can't have a kitteh named "Brazilian" on one character, and then have it named "Landing Strip" on another. But they can have different names across servers.

There is still a lot to buy in this case. 1) All adventures not included 2) Extra Character slots 3) Shared Bank 4) Classes and races that are premium. 5) Other things I'm forgetting.

The Sphinx is a genetic freak (yeah, that's how I read the FAQ too).

	Infant wrote on Feb 27^th, 2012 at 9:32am: For the 50USD or the 70USD pack, you will get ONE greater XP tome. You will have to buy other two from store anyway. That means Druid and Challenges are free to you. Not sure if you get those on 25th June or in August. so? see above You want to run it with the cool boys in June? Pay 30USD! Or with all the others in August? Then it's for free to you as VIP. I guess that only depends whether you can wait for the new stuff. I hope what I am saying is correct. If not, I am sure there will be enough ppl here to call me names. Infant thank you for doing my thinking for me. sometimes its easier to just ask lol. Saving 30 bucks on turbine points pays for the basic expansion and gets me early access as well as the exp tome.

It is probably 2295 to 2495 TP (so $22 to $25). However, don't forget that every character you have and every character you create in the future gets the $10-$15 Lesser tome FOREVER. A VIP with 10 characters, that's $90 to $140 in value right there and not even thinking about re-rolls or new characters. And across every server.

There is apparently a big points bundle that you can get at the same time as your pre-order (if you didn't already buy a big bundle last week). http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p=4332427&postcount=23 Quote: and a hidden gem. While looking for payment methods excepted (prolly your on file debit/credit/paypal card) I found this. Dungeons and Dragons Online� 11000 Turbine Point Code: Save 40% on this Point Bundle when you buy it with the Menace of the Underdark Collector's Edition! A $99.99 value for $59.99! Now if turbine game 11 grand away with the bundle id be sold instantly. But seems it's like buying the large point bundle for 60 and getting 2.8k more tp on top of it in bonus mode. This would probably be really great...if that point bundle thing didn't just happen..... I wonder if there are $150 or $200 gift cards... Can always use the rest of the gift card to buy gas and groceries later or something.

	the vet7 works on every server, so if you go with the 79.99 bundle, it makes it easier to farm TP on other servers if you haven't already done so. start new character at level 7 farm lowbie stuff ??? profit!

Yeah. No way I'd have paid for that, but it makes a nice perk, and means I don't have to go get the 500 more favour I need on my crafting toon.

	Well...I expect to buy the big pack for my vip account. The question is am I ever going to actually play my premium accounts enough to super-size them? I already bought the included adventure packs on them but I'm just not dual-boxing like I used to (which was mainly to keep an elite opener on standby back before vip got to open on elite).
