I brought 7 WoW guildees to play this with me again. They are interested in the expansion packs and we get no sales?
Lame, but I digress. Happy New year all!

Did you miss all the December sales? There were packs on sale weekly. VoN and Necro are on sale through today.Quote:

Myself, I'm especially bitter about Mardis Gras and Columbus Day. I know, Lame, right? :rolleyes:
Unfortunately, your friends are victims of bad timing: the older expansions (everything pre-Sharn) were half-price on the DDO Market during the Black Friday sales several weeks ago. :(Quote:

Snarky I can forgive, but giving out false info just makes you look ignorant.Quote:

That wasn't a "new years sale", that was the last week of December deals, we've know the expansions weren't part of that since last Thursday.Quote:

As has been pointed out above, the expansions were on sale just a few weeks ago for Black Friday. Its unfortunate timing that you just missed it, but its a bit narcissistic to think that SSG isnt trying just because they dont offer you a sale right at the exact arbitrary time you want one. Its not "fighting for your gaming dollar" if its perpetually on sale, then that's just reducing the price...Quote:

Ignorant I can forgive (everyone is ignorant of something), but stubbornly denying all evidence to the contrary, that just makes you look... (fill in the blank yourself, don't want to be snarky).Quote:

I don't know why you were expecting the sales to be identical to last year -they weren't, and rarely if ever are. Accept it, make a mental note, move on.
And btw - you and your friends didn't need the expansions to go to 20 and TR, only for Epic play, which is only one small part of DDO. Lots to do from 1-20 without those, and lots of F2P content to see if they liked the game before needing to spend any cash.
Because spending money while something is "on sale" is better than a F2P that you wanted to play in the first place. Good luck with that.Quote:
