Character Slot Supposed to Be 50% off Today but It's Not -- What Gives???

[Taters214]

So I logged in at 1:30 AM, hoping to stock up on character slots while they are 50% off on July 20, and they are still at normal price.... Okay, maybe the price cut hasn't kicked in yet, I think. Now I log in at 5:00 AM, and the slots are still at normal price... What is going on here??? I'm in the eastern time zone. Does this have something to do with it? Or is there a problem with the DDO store??? Really looking to get some character slots. Help please.

I was really looking forward to this.

They usually don't do anything until they get into work for the day, so I'd say at least after 9am whatever local time they are.

I sure hope that's the case. However, it would be so easy for them to create a little if/then in the code I think...

if (date=7/20) {
/char slots are 50% off
}

Unless they just wait til they get in to work to modify the class that contains prices. Not sure how the devs handle the code for sales...

I logged in once at midnight to catch a sale just as it started and had no problems. That's what worries me with this one. Well, I hope when I get home from work that the sale has kicked in.

Some of the prior 50% off sales started at around 3-4 am eastern, so it's a little late. Hopefully it'll show soon.

I too, had planned on shelling out a wad of cash today on character slots.

Grrrr.....
