Just noticed the crazy increases in ARX costs in the store - across the board, big increases.
A change to the store was announced.But what's the ratio to real world currency? Did that change as well?
And why isn't this announced or explained in a News post?
I’ve no clue what ARX purchase prices have been, this is what is listed now.View attachment 390548

It was an excellent interview!Ooof!
P.S. show notes for last week's Lave Radio includes a link in the community section to a spreadsheet with old prices if anyone was curious.
(plus you get a bloody good interview with Derin thrown in for good measure!)![]()

Prices for the ARX packs look unchanged, so it's still about 2000 ARX = £1, depending on exactly how much you're buying.But what's the ratio to real world currency? Did that change as well?
Not necessarily - their marginal per-unit cost for all of the cosmetics is essentially zero, so if they'd sell more than double the amount at half the price, decreasing prices would be better for them. I was always fairly surprised that people were paying the previous prices for quite a lot of the stuff, but apparently they were, so...Of course this means increasing prices
They have just hit that for me, £12.99 for a suit skin, no thank you. (I can buy a new ship for less!)Of course they will keep on doing that up to the point of a negative market response.
It will be interesting seeing what happens in the future.It is in the hand of the customers if and how long they are willing to go that way together with FDev.
