Armored White War Tiger Now Available in the Account Center!

[Luddfilter]

You gave us a relative to a lion
You didn't give it wings nor made it fly
But as we bought it from your site you were so happy for us!

And you're still in profit (I guess?)
It's a beautiful line
Got people test conquest on the pts
And it worked all the time
Now there's finally coffee breaks to take
And some EU pvp to break
For all the EU players who are still subscribed

You can't believe it that we're still subscribed
You just ignore us but we're still subscribed
Endless queues for conquest but we're still subscribed
Graveyard camped by r50s in same old warfronts but we're still subscribed
Grinding, grinding but we're still subscribed

(But you can do better so we please should not unsubscribe?)

We are unable to complete your purchase.

Funny. Not.

I really don't understand all this whining, this is only the second time you've been able to buy items from this "supposed" cash shop Trion have churning out items to rob us of our money

Both items are from Collectors Editions for other countries, first for Canada and now for Korea, i somehow doubt this is the beginning of "roll up roll up, spend your cash here" type business plan, people wailed about why should Canadians only be able to get the spider mount, same would have happened for the Tiger mount,

Short of mailing everyone a free mount, which would defeat the whole purpose then of any CE, you have the option...read that word again.. option to buy these mounts, you wouldn't suddenly become attractive to the opposite sex, you wouldn't suddenly be doing an extra 1k DPS by having one... i felt guilty at paying Trion only 79 Euro a year for all that content thrown at me, so i eased my conscience by spending another 10 Euro on the mount

I couldn't agree more! I am not even a mount collector, just pets for me, but I am happy to add a bit of extra support Trion's way as a *thank you* for a great game.

I can't envisage this will become a regular *cash cow* kind of thing (and sincerely hope it won't) as it just doesn't seem to be Trion's way.

[Mordim]

I just bought it , but i would prefer something like additional role slots to buy ;) .

[Xillean]

Could you pass this to whoever makes such decisions Elrar: Add the baby reggy pet with the 15 mount = profit imo. I dont understand why it is 15 and set to increase after a while when the other upgrades have been 10 with other stuff bundled. I dont expect a answer to that part but if your willing let whoever is in charge of it know at least adding the baby reggy pet would make it more attractive. My reasoning for this so far as I know at the 30 and 36 month we get the armor already and the unarmored tiger and baby tiger pet. So with the addition of the armored kitty we now have ways to obtain all the Korean CE stuff except the baby reggy pet which a lot of people wanted and I assume still want.

I already bought the war kitty because I am happy to support you guys but feel I do have to say 15 is a bit steep and I would really love for the baby reggy pet to be added to the 15 price tag, especially if its going to increase. If none of this is possible could you at least ask or tell us if we can expect to have a way in game or through the account center to get baby reggy?

I'm happy trion is introducing more vanity items, hopfuly one day rift will offer costumes and such for a similar price.

[diidnath]

This seriously undermines the credibility of my assertion that Rift, unique among modern MMOs, doesn't have anything that can meaningfully be called a "cash shop"

To fix this problem in the future, you could try not making assertions about things over which you have no control.

[Kadeth]

All I see is that the Rift team decided to make something available to all of us that had been available to only a few players until now for a limited time. No different than offering a stuff pack vs an expansion pack save this was just one item. Maybe someday they will bundle all of the various special edition mounts into a mount stuff pack, assuming mounts are often requested and sell well enough.

[FormlessOne]

I'd love to buy this when the price drops to a reasonable level - say, USD$5.00. Until then, though, I'll manage without it.

[Ehxon]

15$ is too much money.... but for the people that do have it the high price is keeping it unique in the game. if it was selling for $5 then everyone and their mothers would be rollin around with it.

[max42]

seems to me that trion has not though the price for this through

Ashes of History Edition cost £5 and you had quite a few things with it and seemed a bargain and a fair price hence me buying it

£10 for one mount even as awsome as it may look is wayy to expensive

trion by setting the price this high alot of ppl are not going to buy it myself included (thats 2 subs btw)

if you had a little more business sence you would half that price and i bet far more would buy it increasing your profits as a result

[Shaidar Haran]

When I saw this today I said to myself "They must need the money. I wonder if this decision was made by an actual player or a suit behind a desk who simply needs to make his BMW car payment."

I bought the previous collector's edition for useful things like the banker and jarvis and whatever else came with it. The spider mount was never a reason I bought it (Besides, in game the mount looks stupid as hell.) The stuff actually made my in game playing more convenient.

While, I do have a minor case of OCD and I was considering buying this just to have ALL Upgrades on my account, all I had to simply remember was the $300 I just had to spend to get my AC fixed so I could stop sweating balls in my own house.

I've never played a game with a cash shop. As such, I am assuming it is where you either walk up to an in game NPC and purchase things like weapons or potions or whatever for real money OR you log into your account and buy the items that way on the forums. Either way, this destroys the effect of me escaping my world and submerging myself into a fantasy world.

This mount is complete fluff, it has no gameplay effect whatsoever. It doesn't run any faster than the others, it doesn't chomp up little rabbits as you run by them. Ultimately, since it is not changing any dynamic of the game whatsoever, I cannot complain about it any further than:

If this is leading Trion in a direction of implementing something (like a cash shop) that helps destroy my sense of fantasy and submersion into this game, then I will most assuredly not be sticking around.

In the end, I congratulate anyone who wanted and bought this mount. I'm sure it will look sweet when I get in game later today. Won't be for me though, as I can remember how boring fluff items get after you'd made yourself feel special about having them. They are like wearing a tiara for Homecoming cause you were Queen. You keep it on your dresser for maybe a month or 2; but inevitably, it goes into a shoebox because it offers nothing of real value once the "high" is gone.

[Fangthane]

Ugh - I don't like the direction this starts going. I'm all for a paid expansion; and for all the free content Trion has given us, that almost overdue. But a pure cash shop - even if for only cosmetic items - is not what I had expected. It was somehow better when such things were included into themed "collector" offerings with other bundled goodness. I would not have minded so much if this had been handled in a similar way (although it'd be hard to fit a snowy tiger into a Summerfest theme).

I won't be purchasing.

[ChrisGo]

People spend 15 bucks on lunch if you want to support your game buy it if not don't.
