Marketing Department Has ARX'd UP

[Ralph Vargr]

It's Thanksgiving, here in the US.

Many other game companies are offering specials, that make the ARX store look pathetic. Most have double XP, or better, going. Daily login bonuses are common. Heavily discounted sales are common.

Frontier is offering paltry discounts, retaining the ARX cap, and offering no incentives other than the capped "free" ARX to draw players in.

If you are going to do an artificial currency, do it right.

"I demand rewards because of my country's arbitrary holiday."
"If you don't do what other people do, you're doing it wrong."
Really Ralph?

Well, there's certainly nothing wrong with holiday sales. Everybody else is getting in on the action.

I think you've forgotten that FD is a British company

That shouldn't prohibit them from taking advantage of a good opportunity. Steam is an American company, but I assume their sale right now is world wide.

 

[Caramel Clown]

Here, there's your sale. Happy now?

Of course, there are no US customers of Frontier.

Does that mean we can have a discount, but we have to queue for it?

1/3 off on items I don't want, and 1/2 off on items I do want elsewhere. No contest. Frontier isn't giving anything away like it's competition is, for better sales.

Suprisingly, Russia is more caring of Thanksgiving than Great Britain. At least, in terms of their game products.

This is why those 3rd party price history charts, or at least some kind of long term memory, are handy.

Even handier if you just buy the stuff you actually want, whether it’s a sale or not

Too much of a cheapskate and too good at deferring gratification for that.

My first reaction to the price of something upon release is "I'll check back in two years"...unless of course I have reason to believe that prices will go up.
