    After opening around 240 packs and getting **** (2 tobls and a tiger) I'd say no. They're pretty much designed for you to lose money, lol. But if you're feeling lucky and won't hate yourself for potentially wasting 28m, go for it.

    Assuming the odds on pwdatabase are correct, you can simply calculate whether it is beneficial to open them at current gold prices. You'd have to accurately guess most of the prices for the items though, which would largely depend on your ability to sell them well.

    You'll prolly not quite break even over the long run, but since you're unlikely to be able to open up enough packs to get close to that point,
    you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

    I opened one pack before server shut down, I got a Diamond of Tiger. I nearly shat my pants.
    I opened another pack before server shut down, i got 15 Tokens.


    Really it's just how lucky you feel.
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    I don't know if its worth it or not.....its hard to say. I spent 15mil on packs last night and ended up with 70mil......then spent that 70mil on packs and well went broke b:cry
    So if you know how to quit when your ahead it might be worth it.

    Best thing I do is sell packs, then buy the tokens that the person got, or TOBL, then have them continue recycling within your shop to make epic profit. b:victory

    Long term packs will always cause you to break even @ best and most likely make you lose tons of cash.

    Better off selling packs

    go for the gear its more useful to you than coins and dont make the mistake i made of spending all money on packs getting an aps cape and then forgeing it and finding out its untradeable. i mean its like a 20-40mil cape on my server ... and you know if i wasnt a
    wizard id be happy to have it lmao. but since im stuck with my mistake ill be wearing that cape , VisionOnKeen - arch servers first aps wizard. and after that i bought 5 tiger packs in the first pack was the helm scroll , i got that -3channeling on ma wiz asap ^^ and the other 4 was tokens. but money comes and goes you need to try and grab the tiger packs gear before it goes up in price and you end up havin to pay alot more for it. but if i had 28mil id probly stand next to a shop and buy 1 at a time and open 1 at a time so i know when ive spent enough money and got no reward...
