I have been looking at the founders pack and was tempted to buy it. Seemed reasonable when I converted the rates

Guardians of Nverwinter $59.99
Hero of the North $199.99


so I went and clicked buy and to my surprise
Guardians of Nverwinter 59.99 Euro ($78.50)
Hero of the North 189.99 Euro ($248.60)

Why is there such an increase in prices for different places? Along the stupid prices in the zen shop this is just seeming like another nail in the coffin

Please review your prices soon!

    Seems that many companies don't adjust rates based on location. I've seen this same thing brought up numerous times on Steam as well.

    It's been explained that this is VAT being applied regardless if your individual country has one or not. Some additional small amount is explained by daily flucuations in currency conversion plus any applicable conversion fee

    VAT tax is throw in at most of the Europe. So that rises the price.

    That's not right it advertises you will be paying 199.99 dollars but actually changes it to 189.99 euros. why not make it so we pay 199.99 dollars via paypal or skrill as per the advert. Our banks will pay the dollars and charge us the exchange rate in our own currency. you can't advertise something for one price then change the currency and price just because someone lives in a different country that is actually false advertising. I don't believe the VAT bit either as VAT is 20% here in the UK and 48 is not 20% of 199.99 it would be 240 dollars at most if it was VAT. I was just about to buy the founders pack and then I saw the price was actually
