the thing is it costs them nothing to put up a bundle like that, so they don't have to sell that many.

They are bleeding points to cover the OT they are burning right now I'd imagine.  We'll see another bonus point set either the weekend beta opens or mid May.  Stock up if you haven't preordered cause it will be a bit before they throw up another to bleed those point stockpiles down.  You'll see more sales however.

Dude, I buy New Balance.  25$, on sale only.

Only pair of 'shoes' I ever bought that were that much were bullet proof.

Turbine is learning.

I wonder how much you have to wire to get into Turbine's secret VIP club.

For $200 I'd expect the TP to include naming rights to an NPC in game.

I don't even know what to think about this. And here I thought I had a massive stockpile of TP after the triple-point deal.

The only way I'd buy the 25k pack is if I knew for sure that +4 tomes would hit the DDO store  Cheesy

I burn through Lesser Hearts quite a lot but can't ever imagine needing that amount of TP.

Even converting one of my accounts from VIP to Premium didn't cost anywhere near that.

That FarmVille article is certainly interesting. In reality the DDO store only offers mana pots, +3 tomes and HOrc/HElf for 'pay to win'. It makes you wonder what we'll see in there in the future if other companies get on board with this.

Reading the forums, there are people that spend lots of money in DDO.

In other "f2p" games like "my fucking farm", I have read about people spending 1500$ a year.

There is a lot of money in the wrong pockets. I have to think about some scam... Smiley

Will do! 

I gave up on the russian girls, they never respond even after you send them tickets!  I go after the romanian ones.
