Didn't recognize ou there for a moment Chillia! That's unfortunate to hear...I asked because this could make an interesting venue for giveaways, promotions and such and be a bit encouraging for people who are planning to or want to give a copy to a friend while gaining something from it. Essentially a "paid guest pass". Perhaps something to consider?

I think it would depend on what that help was

coming from a pro P2P player,  none the less,  this is a perfect example of why Wildstar NEEDS a cash shop. $$$$$ NeXus Unlimited Reborn !

I'm looking to get some clarification for you. :)

That's what every human parent wants for their kid, isn't it? In fact, traditionally, the father of the female throws a big party and ceremonially relinquishes the child into the care of the new friend. On topic: I like all three of those things better than the Anniversarowsdower, but not enough to pay extra to have one. Does the inflatable tanuki thing handle like a hoverboard, or a ground mount, or is it in some new category in terms of handling and movement?

don't blow a fuse yet. i expect (you know how i am able to see the future, right?) a payment model very similar to Swtor. f2p with cash shop and a sub for the "hardcores" (and that sub would have some credit tokens to use in the cash shop). i get your pov, but the reality, is... the Sub payment model wasn't working good enough for wildstar. BOTH on a player amount basis and on a money generated basis. you don't need to understand Korean to understand that.

They really should've been account bound once consumed, but whatever. You're still not wording it properly:

That bit in italics implies it could be crap, like with Boom Boxes. ;) What it should say is:

Every box contains one of the three new items, they don't contain other items.

I just hope people are still buying on Friday night! That's when my box gets here...

It would help calm the storm.

Yeah, I wanna know because I want to buy one. Granted I'm broke right now (just finished runing my PvP set in Fusion Guard, ouch) but I earn plat pretty quickly.

I feel the same. It's not just the mystery boxes but all the news trickling through Today, something feels off. Hope with all my heart that we're jumping the gun somewhat and simple reading to much into what's going on. Feeling deflated and a bit sad  :( to be honest. Just have to wait and see if there really is anything in whats transpiring.

Yes one of 3. Thing is to collect all 3, you would have to buy at least 3 boxes (if you are lucky enough to get all 3). Or else keep buying the boxes till you get all 3. Could get expensive. Then you have all these useless box copies sitting around collecting dust. You can't give them away cause you already used the code from them. Yeah, I'm a little irritated by this whole business.

Not account bound, you get one bag on your account when redeeming the code, and it grants one of the three items. So basically you have one chance on one character to get the item you want.

{| style="width: 100%;"

Does it get bound after you redeem it?

A couple non-F2P transition reasons off the top of my head: -They're switching to EVE's no-box-price method. -They are making a very vast majority of their sales online through their own store after the ten day trial and it isn't worth it to have retailers take a chunk for themselves (they make that money on their own store). -They aren't actually removing the copies from the shelves, but driving up their sales numbers to use as PR. -They have a new box art style due to player comments about the relatively ineffective cover art (or maybe they want to promote the Dominion a bit better). Distributors will now get the new boxes if they order. -They actually believe people would be more likely to buy a box in the store (just browsing games rather than going directly to them) if they add a FREE ITEM! -They figure box circulation at a more rapid rate would be reported and the promotion wouldn't be noticed in some publications. Not saying that's not why they're doing this promotion (who knows?) but there are other rational reasons.

Well thank god for that.

They did it on the wrong way. They promoted it weirdly. Words should come about F2P/B2P asap, any more bad press would kick Carbine studio in the booty.

i thought you had to buy a physical box. :o
