Store sales query

Does anyone keep track of this stuff to any degree greater than "not at all"? From memory the christmas sales last year were shitty compared to prior years, but I'm wondering if I'm just misremembering... any ideas?

I think Ottos boxes will be coming back around soon.  And they will do a points sale typically around the holidays.  Might bring back the +20 hearts of wood with the +5 freebie.

I didn't write it down, but I'm pretty sure the Black Friday sale was decent (a bunch at 75% off) and the Christmas/New Year sale was really lame (max of 20%-30% off).
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Cheers all. Yeah, that was roughly my recollection too.

On Otto's; you'd think if they're going to put the cap XP up, they would increase the XP of an Epic Stone or reduce the price somewhat. Highly unlikely though.

Yeah, a bunch of the DDOMarket pack things were super-cheap, great way to upgrade mule accounts to premium for just a couple of bucks.

I doubt it.  Although that would be a way to "mitigate" the level increase.

Increase the XP and then rake in profit on new stones.  Brilliant...

I was thinking that with the XP lifted they might create a item for sale in the store that allowed you to use multiple Otto's.

Nah. A third box, with a new stone. Pass epic levels like Gygax passed this stone! Gygax's Gall.

Have you tried a lower difficulty, such as the official forums?

Ah, unless I'm missing something I don't think it works. If you go to the right thread, it redirects you to the weekly sales page for the offer and doesn't note it in the thread. Ah well, good thought. Or I'm stupid. Probably the latter Smiley

The link won't work, but there used to be a splash page telling you what was on special that week.
It was useful for seeing when TP were last on special or Otto's were sold - back when it wasn't every other week.

I had no idea that was there, thank you!

Cheers, Drop. I did try but the splashes tended to hint at content but not be specific. I am probably being stupid still, so Ero's wiki link is perfect!
