    RaiderZ Founder's Pack will have access to a different weekend. I'll have more details tomorrow. The Hero of the North Founder's Pack will have guaranteed access to the first Beta Weekend on February 8, 2013.

    I love that giant spider mount. But the price for it is too much for me.

    so 750,000 Astral Diamonds huh? whats going to be the conversion like from dollars to diamonds? and for $200 we should get all the other digital in-game items like the other mounts and the other companion and such. Just a thought.

    Early access to Foundry? When do you actually get to use it normally? I am assuming once you hit max level but that is the one thing I am looking forward to most.

    You normally will get access at level 15. A Hero of the North Founder's Pack purchase grants access immediately when you log in. I'll get back to you about the Astral Diamonds - I don't know off the top of my head.

    Thanks you answered my question. I was looking on the main page to see where we could place pre-order. And can we buy or pre-order from any store like Future shop EB game world ect... or only through Cryptic To get the Beta keys ?

    I have one single thing to say... WTH!

    What is wrong with you pwe? I mean really? 200 freaking USD for so little? How the hell can you put such a high price on that? I hope this is badly wrong cause that aint worth more than 40 USD. When I bought the raiderz founders pack I was considering if it really was worth it and that was only 30 USD. Do you really think that anyone will buy this? I mean that is a hell of alot money for a game many haven't even played yet. Only a rich kid would buy this stuff

    There is additional things listed aside from what everyone is seeing there's a post in another thread detailing it. Besides these are optional who cares if someone wants to spend that kinda money on it.

    So now we know when these beta weekends are, but will people with beta keys have access to them, or will they have to wait?

    And this is why I should read the previous replies instead of just the opening post.
    Thanks.

    Cool... a little confused whether my PC Gamer key gives me access to the Feb 8 beta weekend though...

    Also, I find it humorous when a value is assigned to virtual items. Seems totally arbitrary! This virtual spider is really worth 550 dollars! But we're only charging you 200!

    Cheers.

    Is the hero of the north founders pack like the Lifetime subs for Champions and STO?

    "A fool and his money are soon parted." -English proverb

    Some people will pay for it, many won't. As much as I'd love to play in a beta weekend, I'd much rather wait for the actual game to come out instead of paying for a few short weekends with bugs and server downtime. It's kinda silly, but there's always someone willing to pay for early access and few extra trinkets. Let them go through the bugs and issues if they want to pay for it. It's not that big of a deal.

    Not really as there is no "on going" benefit like those have. Its hard to classify as you don't actually need to purchase any of it to play the game. The closest would be almost like standard deluxe and CE of games I guess.

    So far all I see is rip off <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Yes they can add to it but as it stands your paying 20 bucks a pop for some cosmetic items with the guardian pack...what....the...<BLEEP>!!! This is greed pure and simple. 200 bucks... are you <Bleep> me?!?!? I really hope this isn't a tasted of whats to come and that drow whatever better not be a superior race to all the others.

    Well rant over.

    On a serious note they mention VIP perks, wonder if they are following what Turbine and Funcom did with subscription VIP benefits.

    But seriously....Cryptic...bout that advertisement trailer.... thee most cheesy trailer I've seen in a very long time. Ya'll are better than that, I generally like your trailers but that was god awful atrocious. Was expecting a Helloooo Kiddy Land to pop up at any moment in neon colors.

    I think it is good investment - drizzt and its fame are worth that much.

    If they now release $300 founder's pack for "ability to kill drizzt clones" that would be brilliant move.

    No, a good investment is putting $200 towards an IRA or some other form of actual investment where you can expect a return.
    However $300 to be able to kill Drizzit wannabe's? Now you have my interest...
