The Isle of Dread is now available to pre-purchase!

[Cordovan]

You can expect the scope of Isle of Dread to be on par with our other expansions. If we were to give an exact legally-binding number and then for whatever reason had to pull a quest, for example, that would be a huge issue. So, better to not give a specific number at this time. We will be in a position to state that specific number prior to launch, however. For now, expect the size of Dread to be in line with all of our other expansions.

Will there be one or more raids? That should be easy to answer.

[Zess-wolf]

Hey, is there any item limited to pre-order bonuses?Like, if i dont pre order, will i lose something?

At least answer this. No raid was mentioned on the expansion page.

That's fair enough but I suggest that you should have locked in the content (even if some is later delayed if necessary) rather than the date of release.

My guess is that this is actually why they haven't tell us how many quests/raids the expansion is going to have. so probably 1 or 2

While I went ahead and got the pre-purchase....it's bad business to offer "something" for sale....and not tell us what we are getting? Do better.

Pay us now and we will tell you what you get later. Not a good look!

Well US probably do things differently but until this information is released EU customers are not bound by contract.

"1. Before the consumer is bound by a contract other than a distance or an off-premises contract, or any corresponding offer, the trader shall provide the consumer with the following information in a clear and comprehensible manner, if that information is not already apparent from the context:

(a) the main characteristics of the goods or services, to the extent appropriate to the medium and to the goods or services;"

"2. Paragraph 1 shall also apply to contracts for the supply of water, gas or electricity, where they are not put up for sale in a limited volume or set quantity, of district heating or of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium."

They haven't done a pre-order bonus since MotU around ten years ago, with all expansions since, including all expansions under SSG, including all items with the pack even if purchased after release. Considering that, and nothing mentioned to the contrary this time, it's probably pretty safe to assume they aren't doing pre-order only items this time.

In the US all the company needs to do is put an asterisk in the advertisement and put "Contents subject to change before release" at the bottom. The US is very corporation friendly.

From what i see you can get the same things 2 years later on black friday.

Possible lesson for next time. When providing an update to release a PrePurchase package, Perhaps it would be wise to leave a day or two between patch and pre-purchase. Having users spend $ for new shinies and then have servers crash (or shut down due to stability issues) as they are being unwrapped is not likely to leave happy customers. IOW, make sure the update is stable before taking the $$$.

But the problems may have been caused by the prepurchase and prepurchase rewards so a delay would not have helped.

Agreed, that is very poor business. Are you telling me that it isn't known how many quests there will be or if there will be raids? Why should I buy this?

No its not bad business. If you want to wait until more information is available before purchasing you have that option. If youre not concerned with the details and want it now you also have that option. I fail to see a single downside to offering the consumer options.

Will Tabaxi be available for VIP members as well as expansion? Or do they also need to purchase to gain access to the race and expansion?

[Just_a_Dude]

What do you get from pre-purchasing that you wouldn't get from just purchasing later?

[rabidfox]

Early access to the cosmetics, races, mounts.

[Just_a_Dude]

Early access to the cosmetics, races, mounts.

Ok, so no need to rush into buying it. Thanks!

[Jinxx]

Is there a VIP discount for the expansion?

Hi Cordovan,

what class has the hireling of the pack? He has rogue and barbarian abilities (find traps) but can´t disarm traps?

Thanks
