    Heroic characters are a very popular item. They make it easier for EQ veterans to start an alt, or for friends to get a head start when they’re joining you in Norrath. These are normally 3500DBC, but for the 17 days of this anniversary promotion you can get two Heroic Characters for only 5000DBC!

    Note: Heroic Characters cannot be used on progression servers.


    Gnoll in a Barrel

    Looking for a cute awesome gnoll to join you on your adventures throughout Norrath? These new pets are Fippy Darkpaw approved!

    [IMG]
    Each Gnoll in a Barrel costs 299DBC, and gives you the chance of one of the special gnoll pets that’s only available from the Marketplace during our anniversary!


    Special Hero’s Forge Armor Sets

    These premium armor sets are available for a limited time! If you truly want to stand out in a crowd, look for either Golden Hero or Clockwork Hero's Forge in the Marketplace, that are available for premium prices.

    Which of these 17th Anniversary promotions is most exciting to you?

    why isn't there a golden set without the added hero's forged... like for collectors of hero's forged like myself we already have the ability to use it, and now you charging us again just because we want the gold set...
  3. kyong Augur

    It would be cool if previous RaF rewards could be incorporated into the anniversary like the Luclin painting porting to plane of shadow and the resilient adventurer's crystal!

    Wow... Whoever priced the new hero's forge sets clearly didn't think about the consumer. That is way ridiculous. You really need to rethink the price.

    would be nice if i didn't get a blank white page instead of the marketplace...
  6. Balfor New Member

    Are you all serious?? 9900 db = 99.00 usd. that is 10 to 20x what sets normally go for. Someone needs to be bitchslapped.

    It's your product and you can charge anything you want but $99 is overpriced. And what's the deal with it having to come with Heroes Forged? i already have it on the toons I want it on. Don't most folks that use this?
  8. Ghubuk Augur

    How do we join up for drunken race if our character slots are full?

    CORRECTION!! Let me get this straight, you are wanting to have a person spend approximately $200.00 for a visual item in game? (10000 DBC costs $85.00) Who in their right minds thinks this is a logical and worth while price???? When the majority of people have the graphics adjustment turned off, explain how this is makes any sense at all??????

  11. Jein-ko New Member

    Yes, most people who want these ornaments already have this. It is absolute stupidity by the daybreak personnel to try to charge these amounts. Really sours the interest in the "marketplace" items. And the cloth gold one doesn't even include a robe.

  12. Shuford New Member

    Yea, but at least we get a 70% exp bonus. With that out there no one will notice the other high prices. :devil:
  13. Stormrider New Member

    Yeah, seriously! Is that price a mistake?!?
  14. Riou EQResource

    No, it is intended, they want to test how many people will buy "premium" items. To see if they will make more of them or not.

    If you like the idea and want more buy them, if not skip them basically.
  15. fuloph New Member

    I don't usually get on the rabble rousing and complaining band wagon, you can't please everyone... but 100-200 USD for armor sets? You should be ashamed of yourselves. I've played EQ for 17 years, and have spent a TON on SC stuff and buying krono for plat. You can make your money off of people without being outright price gouging. The only person that would pay that much is loaded with cash, or more likely, the kind of addictive personality that can be found in a game like this. I can't stress enough how disappointed I am with you guys.
  16. Vixx New Member

    You know - the station cash stuff has been a necessary and even fun adjustment to offset the declining user base; this is extreme by any measure. It's insulting at best, and I hope not an indicator of whats to come.

    If you look at my account history - I am your target market, and micro payments (including in game transactions) are a significant portion of what I plan and enable for a living.

    It's an anniversary celebration - where both sides come together to mark something special. Sure make some money around it .. make a lot of money...but do so by delivering good quality, unique and a wide variety that appeals to the masses and celebrates what the last 17 years have been about.

    I almost feel sorry for the folks that run around in armor that literally says I paid almost $200 ( 2 years of prepaid game time?) to look like this... (especially on Zek). I'll ignore it, like many .. but it really makes me doubt your ability as custodians for EQ
  17. Saeadyan Elder

    Bud, if you are seriously thinking of spending $170.00 for a skin for your armor I don't think you're worried about the cost of hero's forge, LoL.
  18. kiethann New Member

    Seriously, some of the chracteristic that was in EQ2 marketplace i would like very much to see does not happened in EQ1.

    For example,eq2 offers to buy unlock gear slot which i think it is very relevant to eq1 in which can use to unlock prestige item.
    Any chance we can get this in eq1 ?

    No Gifting of items to other players as well!!
  19. Iila Augur

    The answer to nearly every "Why can't items in EQ1 do/be X?" is because the game was programmed 20 years ago, and for every way the game stores data, the worst possible option with least room for expansion was chosen.

    Two Heroic for that price? But what if you want them on two different accounts?
