    Could these be made available for all TLPs please, not just Agnarr?
  3. Rijacki Just a rare RPer on FV and Oakwynd

    They should be, when the expansion is unlocked on the TLP.
  4. Dre. Altoholic

    Will these grant the 999 /claim "For All Characters" style rewards like previous expansion bundles?

    When can we expect to see the TBL package?
  5. Brickhaus Augur


    None of the expansion bundles they've brought back have had the 999 claim. It's all single pieces of what is listed.

    I believe the HoT bundle is the only one that still has 999 claims in it,

    Should be able to get these on all TLPs, I claimed that illusion in luclin on one of the older ones, in fact im pretty sure that rhino mount was actually one of the mounts that slipped through the cracks that people could claim for the OP mount buff in luclin before they restricted the buffs.
  8. Hamshire Augur

    Sorry for double posting but yea our TLP is in House of Thule and we can't even buy it which seems bazaar, I have to login to live to buy it.
  9. Hamshire Augur

    Sorry again for the THIRD post, but im interested in buying it along with others on our TLP but wanna confirm first, if we login to a live server to buy this will the items just appear there or will they go into our claim window so we can claim them on our TLP?
  10. Aethelric New Member

    Appreciate a poster has replied to this but would be great to get confirmation from DBG or I suppose somebody who has already purchased as to whether these are 999 /claim or not. It's essentially going to be the deciding factor on whether I buy it or not.
  11. Brickhaus Augur


    I purchased the expensive bundle for the statue. I purchased the last expensive bundle for the Health port.

    It's one of each, like it has been for awhile.

    Trust me, if you could get 999 of the things, they would highlight it in the advertisement.

    Just checked on Live - it goes into inventory as an Heirloom item, not to claim.

    Lame. I was looking forward to buying 7x of the TBL bundles for the cool Djinni mercs.

    Account-wide features for $RL, justifiable. Heirlooms need to be virtual currency and very inexpensive.

    These bundles are just too expensive. I guess they are solely aimed at the TLP players but the cost vs value is way out of whack here. I would have bought it 2-3 times myself at $40 for everything but not $105. Not to mention the single items instead of the 999 claims item is lame as well.

    what didn't i do in Kunark? the Lizard Dance? or something more important? thanks :cool:

    We should note that prices for these bundles are not even listed on this page. I wonder why.

    The prices of these bundles have increased greatly from $45 for an extras bundle with a house to $65 for an extras bundle without one, and $95 in total. That is a 30% increase. Are they going to tell us the price of wood and nails to build these bundles has gone up, so the inflation is justified?

    This is just for single items. No 999 items - not even multiple zone clickies for one account.

    I won't even consider this at $95, and no one in my guild will either. It is not only outrageous, it is a slap in the face to players who may have missed these expansion packs in prior years. It is a big middle finger from Daybreak Studios and Darkpaw Games to the player base of Everquest.

  17. CatsPaws No response to your post cause your on ignore

    The prices are this high because players keep saying "oh please please bring back X item or Y item, I would pay anything to be able to get that since I was not even born when those expansions came out so I missed out on buying them then"

    So they did, and the first few bundles with houses or ports sold really really well. So they upped the price.

    Unfortunately the folks who are behind this fail to understand they have priced themselves out of the market ...yet again

    Agreed.
    I am yet another that refuses to buy at this blatant price gouging amount.

    I could go buy Baldur's Gate 3 and get the Premium Edition at this price.

    This company need to learn to price things appropriately

    Instead of spending a penny on this, we purchased three copies of Baldur's Gate 3.

    Opportunity costs have come knocking once again.

    Just to clarify the prices for these things are not at all related to or any way a reflection on the devs. We are unhappy with whoever is in charge of marketing and management for this blatant price gouging and poor attempt at a cash grab. They will be missing out on 3-4 sales from me had it been more reasonable as a single bundle for around $40.

    To add insult to injury making these a single item claim instead of 999 for the things that were 999 when EOK released is a bad look as well. They may get enough people who play on TLP to buy this to justify it for their metrics and consider it profitable but I have a feeling the Live & Test players are going to mostly pass on this one.

    I wish we could all unite together and protest this to get them to change their ways and start treating us like we matter instead of like cash cows.
