    The Staff (Franky included) are on the record as having said that they are trying a new thing for General Summers Sales by not providing the end date. In otherwords they will not tell us when the sale will end. Though there was originally a message in the post announcing the sale that said it would end approximately 3 weeks after the sale started. However that has since been taken down and the staff has said that was posted in error and is not in fact correct.

    you had to ask for linx didn't you b:shocked ... I remember seeing it, but for the life of me I can't recall what thread it was in. Fortunately I was about to log off of the game to watch some video's anyways so I can probably take some time to scrounge around and see if I can't find it.


    EDIT:::: FOUND IT!!!!!!
    Sasha, good catch, though unfortunately that was a mistake - 3 weeks from today is not the correct end date for that sale. The text has been removed, and I'm sorry about the mistake.


    As for why we aren't revealing the end date in the first place, it's something that PWE wanted to try. Some stores do occasionally run sales without giving an end date, so I think PWE wanted to see what would happen if we did the same.


    If you really are against this practice, you can definitely submit a ticket, or continue to let us know through the forums.

    Well thanks for fetching it for us.

    Interesting. Last time they stopped announcing end dates was like... a year ago or so right? And iirc it was with packs. Which are now permanent.

    I can see why it might annoy people, but personally, if its going to be pseudo permanent im happy. Means I can chillax a little more on my rank 8 for Wiz and put some cash into levelling her 2spark AoEs past 5 b:chuckle (Theyre expensive man, 12 mill to get all 3 from level 1-10 b:cry and thats witout other important skills I need to level x_x)

    What could be the point of not putting up end dates? Do they want spike sales? Because theyre falling short of their weekly house rent so they wanna get some quick money to pay off.... b:shocked

    if memory serves they recently have had a fall in their stock ratings, but I am not sure exactly when that happened. I imagine having their stock rating fall may have had some input on how they are currently conducting business.
