It was not a good deal for VIPs who got Aasimar race for free anyway. $40 just for the base expansion along with 20 measly astral shards.

And the other deals were far worse, if you don't care about cosmetic stuff.

It was the first time I ever waited to buy something from DDO.

Fortunately for SSG, I don't TR super fast (so I don't accumulate TP from favor that fast), so they will still get actual money from me for the expansion. I bought some more TP during this last double-bonus sale, to make sure I had enough to buy Ravenloft and the Vistani tree.

The whole thing still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I totally WANTED to give them $100+, but they offered me near-zero benefits for it. They should have had cosmetics AND stuff that actually helps your characters. Like a Reaper Tome of Learning, or even just an Otto's box.
