    How about a Z-Store Sale as well? to compensate your loyal customers for the hiccups since Season 7 Launch?

    :D

    You know, bring back those players that are wasting time on the evil that is SWTOR.

    .... .... Please?

    You might also consider allowing players to 'make your own bundle' concerning ships, the Oddy and Vesta packs are great ideas but how about allowing a 'cruiser/escort/sci' combo or something so you could get maybe a defiant, galaxy, sci Vesta for example. Players like to ability to customize their playing experience so rather than direct them into bundle packages allow them to assemble their own, to a degree. I'm positive I'd have bought at least one 'make my own' bundle if it were available.

    There's a 20% off sale on ships as well.

    Also, bear in mind that--as the link above should explain--the bonus ZEN does NOT apply to prepaid game cards. (PW prepaid cards, UGC, and the like)

    Brandon,

    Why are non US players charged more...for less?

    From your announcement:

    $50.00 = 5000 + 750 + 300** = 6050 ZEN

    However     from my payment processor screen:

    ?44.99 4,950 + 350 + 742 = 6042 ZEN

    Not a lot of difference you would say except that at current exchange rates (check on www.xe.com if you want to see them upto date):

    $50 USD is 38.8 Euros !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are charging us 6.1 Euros more for less Zen?

    Can you please explain the reason for this?

    Yeah I realised this the other day and really want an explanation. I don't intend to spend another penny on Zen now until we're getting equal value.

    They should just take dollar currency.

    My last purchase of zen at the end of september netted me 2300 zen for 18 euros. You cannot even make up this amount now suggesting the prices have recently been changed.
    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    I agree, I mean we get Euro over here because we're part of Europe, but I live in Scotland in the UK and we don't even use the Euro, so why not just list prices in Dollars and let us chose the method of payment we want to convert that with.

    Yeah they have, and funnily enough, no body from Cryptic of PWE are acknowledging this change, or stating the reasons as to why Europeans are now being charged such different prices.

    I've started threads on these forums and contacted the PWE billing support directly, to no avail.

    No doubt if they do get back to us, it'll be after the 15% off ends. They know how to turn loyal customers against them.

    Can someone outline how you use steam to buy Zen? For the life of me, I can't figure out where how to buy it through them.

    You open up the Zstore in game and click on 'buy zen'. Provided you've launched the game with Steam, the Steam wallet should be an option in there.

    Though be wary, the last time I looked at buying them that way, they don't get the bonuses and they cost more.

    Ah... well, Cryptic talking me out of paying them money by charging more through steam. Thanks for the warning.
