Hey all,
Feywild Lockboxes will be going away this Thursday, October 3, 2013, after our planned maintenance. We'll be introducing another lockbox then with new (and awesome) rewards! Be sure to
check our homepage for details on our new lockbox.
Your existing lockboxes will remain to sell or open. If you are dreaming of a Sylvan Stag Mount or Aranea Companion, take advantage of our
Enchanted Keys sale and open a lockbox today!
Cheers,

Most likely, but I doubt this lockbox is tied to the next module since we are still a ways away from it.
How about you actually introduce meaningful pvp and endgame content if you want to impress us and bring people back before the big AAA mmo's come out.
Dude. Server shard mergers has been the plan from the very beginning. This has ALWAYS been the case. But yeah, feywild lock boxes didn't seem to work out that well. Too bad, because that stag is gorgeous.
I know they were planned for a while, but I don't believe in coincidences when player numbers have dropped and fey boxes have been out for a little over a month and they are already being replaced, along with the announcement of the merge.
What I hate along with so many others, where games companies fail time and time again, is the lies.
And not omitting the truth is the same as lying before someone says something.
One good thing though, they have had to do something, because the customers have obviously made them listen by using the one thing they can't ignore, the sound of money walking out of the door!
Just a shame like so many failed games before, it's cause and effect, they are reactive rather than being proactive!
so plan is to screw ppl who bought keys and got the enchantments instead fixing them?
how can you expect people to invest there ad/zen/cash into items that are not working right and you don't fix them to be more viable its basically just con and people will not open box's if you go in this direction instead fixing broken items and plz put hidden effects on the icons because that's also a con you should get what you pay for not with hidden nerfs
Agreed, the enchants where terribad(proc chance + effects) and the whole pay for a chance at 10 fey sparks was strange, also opened tons and never saw a single spider lady. If only i had used my keys on the nightmare lockboxes when the inferno mount bonanza was on as i would not have got banned for the "exploit"
Sayonara bye-bye, Feywild Lockboxes. You won't be missed.
Just a public service: you can sell 100 Feywild Lockboxes for a little more than 8 silver. Much more useful.
As quoted from your post; http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=961961
Way to show dedication to your product, guys. Clearly some seriously impressive corporate business there, copying and pasting lazily without proof reading at all!
But let's face it: in comparison between the Nightmare and Feywild Lockboxes, the Feywild version is a real step downward in terms of the quality and usefulness of the loot. I still have a bunch of unused keys, waiting for this switch out.
All I can say is: "FINALLY!".
Lol. It was a well written article. It actually confused the heck out of me for a second and I thought maybe the nightmare box removal messages became active again by accident.
Anyway, it is good to see that they are listening a little bit and they decided to remove these boxes because they are horrible. I am also very glad to see they gave us a little advanced notice. It would have been nice if the notice came last week when you could get a few additional items from Zen transfers, but this is better than nothing. Keys are on sale and I have tons of extra AD sitting around doing nothing so I think I will grab a keys.
By doing that they'd have only got one surge on money being wasted.
This way they'll have the idiots that bought zen to get the pet or whatever coming back for more so they can buy keys.
Announcement reads either that they're going to rework the feywild lockbox to give "better" rubbish or they're going to release a new one entirely with equivalent rubbish.
Remember that we're still waiting for the game to be completely launched with the very obviously missing paragon paths so they may just be grasping at the teats of the cashcow before they all run dry and what goodwill exists within the players vanishes entirely. No doubt when they arrive there'll be a paragon lockbox with a respec token inside.
yes, you're right. doom and gloom threads declaring a decreasing player base, demanding the shard merge and everything else about this game that is "wrong" must have a positive impact on the decisions made in this company.
and yes, the lies, too. never mind the fact that all of the summed up conjecture in these forums does not make any of it true. and no matter how many times others point that out, it makes no difference because they are going to believe what they want to believe.
where the shame really is, is that people actually spend precious time out of their lives to spread negativity rather than accept the fact that not everyone has the same outlook they do. not better. just different.
well here's another way to look at this:
the feywild lockbox might have been a limited time promotion... now that module 1 has been live for a while and with halloween coming up, maybe a seasonal box is going to drop. with module 2 just months away, maybe a teaser box is going to start dropping.
and maybe the boxes didn't do as well as the nightmare lockboxes did. i know... BURN right? this must definitely be the last nail in the neverwinter coffin. :rolleyes:

Sorry but after 14 years of mmo's I know when it something aint going the way it should, so sorry for using the experience I have had with a plethora of games companies and how they put their spin on stuff, only for the countless fails and lies time and time again!
Heck, any company that balances pve around pvp, when there is virtually 0 pvp, doesn't need a forum of people to tell them how clueless they are or they are moving in a different direction to the players.
But sure, you sit back in that fantasy world you live in, and actually keep telling yourself, "just because people are negative on the forums doesn't mean there is a problem!" lol
