Is the hero of the north pack that is available through the zen market the same as the one that is available for cash? The information on the zen market makes it appear that they are not the same. I asked in PE and was informed that they were the same. Could anyone help clarify this. Thank you.

Hero pack costs 20k ZEN. Account-wise spider mount and Panther companion together make up for 7500 ZEN (purple mount for 2.5k and 5k for account-wide companion). One 12 slot bag which costs separately 600 ZEN. Rest of stuff worth of 11900 ZEN. I must miss something.

I originally bought the Knight of the Feywild pack, and that was a good investment.
Doesn't the HotN pack also include the Renegade Drow race? Not very different to normal Drow race I know but still something extra. Also a title afaik and perhaps the bag is 24-slot? I would rather go for ther Feywild pack myself as I plan to create a Moon Elf druid when that class is finally released.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
Thanks. Good to know.
All of which are completely meaningless now...well past time for a price adjustment!! Perhaps 2/3s off?

Account-wide R3 mount - minimum 2500 Zen
Account wide purple companion, (not possible, but we can estimate it'd cost more than the 3500 Zen for one of the class packs, which has a blue-quality account-wide companion).
2 extra character slots - 500 Zen
Account-wide weapon enchantment - not possible.
Account-wide fashion set - the closest you get is with the Feywild pack or the Dragonborn pack, which has 2 fashion sets.
Retraining token - 300 Zen
Account-wide 12-slot bag - again, not available - though the Dragonborn pack has a somewhat close item, in the 30-slot bag.
VIP access - Wasn't available elsewhere previously, but now comes with a VIP subscription, (except with the pack it's permanent).
Then there's all the other items, like the Greycloak's Legacy items, (which you can get w/ the Guardian Pack as well, IIRC).
Renegade Drow race unlock - the closest parallel is with the Moon Elf or Dragonborn, from the Feywild and Dragonborn packs, respectively.
Don't get me wrong, I see much of what you're talking about, but I feel that even without the 2 million ADs, it's still a good purchase, (wait until you get the 15% off coupon, though). If you already have an account-wide R3 mount, and don't much care for the other fluff items, then go for the Dragonborn pack.

However I'd be fine with them buffing it up a bit. For example give a better bag than the 12 slot one. But I don't see that happening.
The Dragonborn Legend pack and the Feywild pack both give you just as many useful things in them, and they both cost less than half what the HoTN costs. I get that HoTN is about 'exclusivity', and that's what you're supposed to be paying for, but very little about it is actually exclusive anymore.
Don't get me wrong. I love the HoTN. I paid real money for it during the beta, not zen, and I didn't even get it on sale. I'm not even suggesting changing the pack to get extra stuff for myself - I don't need anything extra. It was worth 200$ when I bought it. However. It's definitely not worth what it costs anymore. This pack is terribly outdated and it needs to either be discounted or have extra things put in to make up the difference for new purchasers. Saying 'but now you can use a coupon to discount it down to closer what it's actually worth' (and it doesn't even cover what the 2 million AD would have added up to) isn't a good excuse for the price.
Edited to add - and if anyone doubts that the HoTN is not worth 200 dollars anymore, I submit as evidence the fact that it only costs about 6000 zen on the xbone.
If that pack stays at 20k price tag (which is still too big), these part of content could be changed:
12 slots bag item is seriously outdated when game has so many versions of enhancements/stones. If this bag will be account-wide with 24 slots, it can be interesting to people with more than few characters. On my main characters i had to replace all bags lesser than 24 for bigger, because no place. Stronghold coupons add more issue.
Level cap 60 for weapons if be replaced to "level-with-you" weapon set like Dragon with weapon enhancement slot.

from their website "Make sure you’re prepared for all the new items you’ll be collecting for your Dragonborn with the largest bag available in Neverwinter! This bag can only be claimed once per character." http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/game-pack/detail/495
and then theres the purple ring of dragonslaying, very usefull if you dont have jewlery maxed and r10s( even afterwards). and the purple arti, both also account wide.
add all that up and the elf pack for the account wide purple mount( even though the unicorn has rainbows flying out its rear end), companion and junky chest enchant( better than nothing i guess); and its still cheaper/better than the hero pack.
Perm rank 12 vip would be the only reason the hero pack is worth while ( if that is in fact the case)
