can i buy a pack multiple times?

i mean, if i buy now 2 starter pack, will i be able to earn 500 TP? or if u buy 2 Shadowfell Collector's Edition will i have 4000 TP and 2 greater epic xp tomes and 6 slots?

From other posts:

Each pack can be applied only once to a DDO account. Expansion packs can be upgraded (apply first the standard and then the collector's edition), but not downgraded (if you already have the collector pack or legendary pack, you can't apply the standard). Edit: It seems each expansion deal is a different pack and as such you are able to apply one of each (standard, collector's, etc.)

However you can purchase multiple packs and apply them in different accounts. But not what you're asking.

Hmmm. Seems opinions are mixed...

(if you already have the collector pack or legendary pack, you can't apply the standard).

I was able to.

I was able to.

Nice. Did you get the extra slot? Just wondering if the 3 slots from the CE "overwrites" the 1 slot from standard.

Also, what shows up on your account now ... CE, standard, or both?

I was able to.

Screenshot or it didn't happen.

I, too, would like confirmation on this.

As is I need to get a refund for the CE I couldn't apply to my account since I already had it (due to some misinformation in the other thread that indicated that we could do that).

I'd hate to have to go looking for another refund on a standard edition I can't use... but, then again, they should have anticipated these questions and provided people with guidance.

What the heck... I just went ahead and took a shot... and it did work for me.

I had the Shadowfell CE and added the Standard to my account. I received the 1000 TP, the additional Character Slot, and a Shadowfell Conspiracy Claim ticket (for 1st character getting a Lesser Tome of Learning and all characters +1 Skill tome). I have not used the claim ticket yet.

I also already had the MotU CE and I added the Standard to my account. I received the 1000 TP and the Greater Tome of Learning.

I did not try to enter the MotU Base edition. It has nothing I want, but I'd bet you can get a Lesser Tome of Learning from that.

In addition, I had already purchased Half-Orc before with TPs, but I was able to add the Market Half Orc pack and got the 500 TP from that. I did not get the Power Evidence Trinket (but that might only come on Half-Orcs or when creating a new character).


So, in my experience you can add "downgrades".

My Account at Turbine indicates that I have Standard and CE's of both MotU and Shadowfell now, so it does not appear that one over-writes the other. It does not indicate that I've got the Market Half Orc Pack or the Starter Pack on my account... but I know you can not add two Starter Packs to one account.

you can buy a point bundle multiple times and multiple learning tomes. but refilling your tp and getting multiple learning tomes by buying multiple expansions of the same kind on megasale, does not seem WAI to me.

i'm greedy :) (and have a lot of toons! exping some of those is very hard)

not a problem. neither that you want to buy those expansions multiple times nor me thinking it is not WAI will affect how it is handled. :) Anyways, good luck for you getting some extra nice deals.

At least it won't allow you to do that again, right?
I'll edit my first post with this new info :)

You, sir (or ma'am), have just redeemed my Black Friday. I bought the higher tiers last black friday, and thought I was completely out-of-luck on the deals this year because of it, but now I just got the lower-tier ones and the orc bundle and got some TPs on the cheap. Thanks!
