FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU SO MUCH, I HAD EVEN SIGNED VIP TODAY.
Second, i dont want to sound like im asking too much... BUT how about a DDO market xpack sale? Since free content is till september(aug 31st), and i already have access to it(lower tier, was gifted to me) why not put on summer sale sharn? So i can grab the higher tier pack! I will wait till november. (I believe with free content till near that date, most of us will wait to november sale) - So why not have a sale now mid summer? (i wanna spend some money SSG! But i can be patient xD)
Thanks once more!

I do have one question -
I just signed up for VIP for three months; will I still be able to apply the coupon to have access to the content if I have to let my subscription expire for some reason?

I assume we will get U47 until 31th August. Do we need to wait to cash in the code to get that updates content? If there is quest content in it, that is.
Cheers,
Titus.

That's my question, too. I'm a penny-pincher, I readily admit it.
Also, thanks!! I'm a premium player (bought all expansions, though, and paid for the ultimate bundles for ravenloft and sharn). However, I still don't own the threnal, restless isles, and red fens packs because I never saw them as relevant. Now I can complete my collection, yay!

Very nice, very appreciated!
Point of clarification, when it says "Free Coupon", is that to say it's a Coupon you're giving away for free that will be discounting the product, or is it a code that will be giving away said product for free? Also, if it's the former then will the price take into account already owned packs?

Horrible idea. What about all the Premium players who paid for everything up-front, or all the VIPs who pay monthly, or all the Season Pass holders who were promised something just to have it all made free anyways.
No thanks.
these are great news. a bit weird, but great news.
but at the end this ruined it all:
We are also announcing an update to our VIP program! VIPs will be getting a permanent +1% XP boost for every member in their party other than themselves and hirelings, up to a maximum of 5%. This boost stacks with other bonuses, and works the same as our long-running weekend Buddy Boost bonuses.
players are asking this from a long time to encourage grouping, and yeah, players are also asking for more vip value….but this….seriously, yet again corrupt a wish. again and again. perma buddy bonus vip only. seriously?
my mouth tastes so bitter right now….

You nerfed my monks, throwers, dailies and alchemists.
I hardly play anymore, found a better hobby.
Thank You!
it's everything a great idea, and generous, for the ddo population and to keep the newest players that enjoyed the free-for-all content.
also, there's nothing to complain about new players getting all for free, i paid it, but it's not mine, i unlocked access, that's how it works, and i played for years.
i am bitter about that vip only perma buddy bonus. you should encourage grouping in any way possible, this is a mmo right? such a feature was one of the most requested feature. and they lock it behind vip. i call this "yet again corrupt a wish". a lot of players suggesting something good for the game as a Whole, and the answer is (after a really long time) ok, yes...BUT.

I think it's important to note that the quoted bit of the announcement only mentions Adventure Packs and not expansions. The announcement also specifically calls out a sale on two Expansions (what sounds like the base editions of them) for 99 DDO points. Not sure if that'll be total to get both, or 99 points each. But this does imply that using the code will not give permanent access to the paid expansion content. Even so, this is great news. I can use the code with my secondary "Free" account, which will save a lot of favor grinding for DDO Points. It'll also let me pick up the first two paid expansions on that account with a (comparatively) minor amount of favor grinding.
Think it's also important to note the announcement said nothing about the Premium Enhancement Trees, Epic Destinies, classes or races. Just the adventure packs got mentioned to be included in the code.

as i wrote shortly after, quoting myself:
"""

you know how the game in the past suffered for the worst possible mechanics (bravery, party-wide xp death penalty...) about the matter "how to encourage grouping\actually anti-grouping", and, i dare to add, creating the "big bad elitist myth". those worst possible mechanics were adjusted after years and we see now the same mistake, sort of, a distorted pro-grouping measure imho. i have a paranoid (or?) vision, threads pop out about new players leaving the game and complaining about the toxic attitude of some "big bad rich vip elitist". do you remember people refusing to help new players cause "it will break my streak"? do you remember the lfm saying "be more than an xp penalty"? now you'll see "all welcome!" but it'll end up in someone saying "just stay dead there my dear 1% lol" and a lot of drama if someone leaves the quest, cause reaper lockout, and they'll lose a potential 1-2%. not to mention the new players that will end up dead and left dead in parties composed by leader + bots. we could argue, all of this may happen also with a perma free-for-all buddy bonus. i don't think so, except some few cases. because it would not be a paid feature, people react differently if they are paying for something.
i hope this won't happen, just the idea of it it's sickening, and i hope i'm being paranoid, it happens, but if what i described will become reality, i'll quote myself with this. over and over.

I am baffled.
This is very generous. Thank you very much.
If this is a wise idea, I am not so sure.
Cheers,
Titus.

What premium/vip people got was the ability to play all of that content for years. I think this is a great idea and a huge bonus to people who've come to DDO to try it out in the past couple of months.
It doesn't affect me too much other than the VIP xp thing, which is nice, but it affects me in the way that it helps the population in general.
