Just a quick aside -

Prepaid gift cards - I have never bought one. Do you have to pay tax on them? Do they charge fees?

Please help keep me from a skillet to the head.

There is usually like a three to five dollar additional fee.

I just noticed that there is an Upgrade feature that will turn your Lesser Learning Tome into a Greater one for 600 points.

That actually makes every-character-gets-a-lesser-XP-Tome a lot more attractive.

I see a couple people reporting on the forums already that they're not getting Collector's edition stuff past the second character redemption. Surprising eh?

Wow, greater tome actually cheaper than on lam, interesting.


a very smart move, at the Lam price people might think about ordering one.  at this price it's a no-brainer.

Apparently the mask is +1 profane bonus to skills, and it's cosmetic so it's free. Sick. And since it doesn't apply only when you're holding a wand/scroll, it shouldn't cause the insane UMD lag of the bunny hat.

What about the lesser tome?

Does it offer proof against poison, or just poison resistance?

Edit to add: one for every character, or one per server?

So, so far of 4 toons checked all got what they were supposed to get.

One more pet question. I understand that you get three pets with the big pack, and more will be in the store. The pet takes up a party slot, and works like a gold seal hireling (multiples allowed of gold seal, also can have 1 plat hireling as well).

Can you summon more than one of these pets at a time? Two of them plus a hireling would be handy for Xorian, Tomb of the Burning Heart, etc.

You're mixing up the cosmetic pets and the hireling panther.

You get three cosmetic pets which have no function other than to look cute in public areas and suck up money. You also get a panther gold seal hireling which amazingly enough works like gold seal hirelings (except with unlimited duration).

I bought the collectors edition along with the TP point bonus.
When my sub runs out I will probably convert to premium. Elite unlock is about the only reason to remain VIP now.

And you get hard unlock with first TRs and elite with second TRs anyway.

Hardly - its been clearly demonstrated by now that the only people who should be VIP are those who dont mind paying for convenience of not having to manage their account and content on a daily basis


That's why I'm still a VIP. Sheer laziness. I'd hate not having elite unlock on my first and second life characters. I'd hate to have to buy monk and WF. I'd end up buying them for full price because I suck at waiting for sales. I'd hate to lose character slots. I have 15 right now, and only 3 of those are not being used by characters I play on a regular basis. I'd hate to have to pay the 1500 TP for the first unlock of shared back (I have all the upgrades already). Also, I'd never pay full price for the challenge pack. That is simply RETARDED. I like being able to run all the content without worrying if I have the pack.

I'll probably end up buying the big pack, simply for the tomes on every character I ever make. Like I said I have 13 regularly played toons, and all of them could do with another TR. If I buy a lesser learning tome on each one that's a significant chunk of TP. Even when I do manage to buy a big pack on sale.

Paypal?

If it's cash, you could likely use a disposable debit card like this one:  https://www.netspend.com/

They have a location finder or whatever, so you could enter in a zip and find a location that will allow you to purchase a card.  It'll be a temp one, but they will send you an actual one after a month.  Temp one works for purchases or what have you.

Downside warning:  That company charges 1.00 per credit transaction or 2.00 per debit transaction.  So, when I used one in a pinch to avoid aggro I had to make sure I put the proper balance onto the card when I purchased it.  My best friend did the same and was off by the 2.00 fee.  Cost him another 4 bucks or so to load another 2 bucks onto the card.

So, not a sweet deal persay.  But it gets things done.
