Holy jumping grasshoppers of pure good. That is excessive to say the least. No matter how I measure it -- even in terms of opportunity costs -- the price is way too high. Agreed with the idea that all 2+ years VIPs should get (or perhaps even just founders) a greater heart for each 3+ year toons since game mechanics and rule set has changed quite a bit since then.
Godspeed.
Wow, so it will cost me about US$15 to GR my first character because I dared support the game since it was released and rolled him well before 32 point builds were even thought of.
And after paying $15 I still can't even change his alignment (He's a 13/6/1 Rogue/Ranger/Barbarian, picked neutral good when I made him because at the time, alignment really didn't mean much, except for most people being TN to use the uber 'of Stability' items, would have preferred to take a level of monk)
In my opinion, the whole Greater/lesser reincarnation idea needs to be scrapped and just have lesser/+1/+3 reincarnations, then cut the cost of the wood by half or more. Unless they decide to make them drop as super rare drops, at maybe any level, bound to account.
But as someone said, the whole thing looks like a cash grab because the True Reincarnations seem to be selling like hotcakes.
Slightly off topic, has anyone *ever* seen a flawless shard drop in a chest? I think I have seen one exceptional, and a couple of stacks of 5 or 6 normal dragonshards drop.
Honestly Turbine, you should be ashamed of yourself with these prices. Long time paying subscribers deserve a little better treatment IMO.

At least include an option on alignment change. Race, fine, TR for that, but if people are supposed to be able to respec classes they shouldn't be restricted in their class choices because they want to change those 2 monk levels to 2 barb levels.
Hmmm between these ridiculous prices and the new version of pale master being completely unusable I think I just lost any reason to anticipate the arrival of Update 3.
It's probably not going to be here until the next anniversary anyway (like MOD 9 was?)
I am only really looking forward to the changes to VON personally, reincarnations are just too expensive and its just plain annoying losing your appearance and all your hotbar positions.
well my opinion is yes to expensive but.....i dont now why any vip is whining....wat have you spend your points on??GOl stop buying hair dyes and clothes to put on the sucubus and maybe youde have a big stockpile of points......
Imo anything that isn't straight content, is total BS to FORCE us to pay real life $ to use.
Unlike TR, there is no ingame equivalent way of getting the hearts is what really ****es me off.
If all the hearts are added to the 'random' loot table. And can be bought/sold/traded in game.
Those prices aint TOO bad. High prices for rare yet somewhat obtainable items.
But if they're store buy only and bound... Wow... those prices are pretty good example of RIP-OFF!
495 should be tops.
Something that should have been in the game a long time ago shouldn't cost a VIP player $15. I have a fighter/ranger that I would like to lesser reincarnate. Took fighter most of the way and took the TWF feats as fighter. Then took 6 of ranger for tempest. Using Fred is not an option. Too many feats and time in between swaps... Greater down to TWF, then back up.
Let the VIP monthly points (500) be enough to cover the "cost" of the lesser & greater reincarnation heart.
