Still no WOLF PET!

Will the items retired have a sale price (50% off) like the last time as well?

The items removed will cost 11,700 Crowns base which works out just over two of the most expensive crown packs, that's about £46.98 (which will be 700 Crowns under).

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you define "retired"? Sounds permanent.

"make room for new stock"

You know.... There are brick and mortar stores out there that still somehow manage to have more 'room' than you... and they face the actual problem of dealing with physical items. This is digital, how can you be out of room?

either a literary phrase or the program code can only handle "X" amount of items of "Y" category. i.e. an array for example. If an array is dimensioned to hold, say, 10 items, something has to go to make 'room' for a new item. But I'm gonna guess it's just a phrase.

Nix-Hound Pet! Hypeee!!!!. Get out of my head ZoS. Seriously, it's getting kinda creepy.

Great timing on the panther. I am going away on a cruise for Memorial Day weekend and am out the entire time this is on sale. There's no way to buy it from the website either, so it's not like I can use my iPad.

Any ideas on how much the mount will cost? I assume 2500 as with other limited time tiger mounts?

I want to buy some of the things that are being removed. If there is absolutely no intention of having a sale (like there was last time stuff was removed), it would be nice to let us know so we can just buy what we want already instead of waiting to see if there will be a sale.

As others, I'm confused by the removal of a costume that just came out. I can see the removal of the others if they weren't selling well, but the Doeskin one was only just released.

Also, a 50% off sale like the last time you removed items would be welcome. You've done periodic sales on other items, so why not these before you remove them? I've purchased some of these items, but there are still some I'd like to get, but will have to limit my purchasing due to wanting one of the limited items. Guess I should have bought more Crowns when they were on sale last time. I have enough for the limited mount I want plus DB, but won't if I choose to buy some of the items that are being removed. Just gonna have to decide what I REALLY want.

And two limited edition mounts in one month? A bit much, although there were two limited items in April as well (costume and mount). As for the senche, I'm hoping for 2500 as the others, but it may well be 3000 due to the extra graphical detail (in line with the Frost Horse, which was also 3000).

btw ... will there be a further time at a future date when these items may be purchased again. also what about making some of the costumes be allowed dye. not saying the current skins are badly colored, but when you have say 300 other people wearing at same time or randomly you see your outfit every where. I think instead of allowing dyes to be worked, why not just set it up when a costume is put on it reads current dye code and dyes it appropriately.

In order to make room for new stock

For a digital store, this is a load of crap and you know it.

Meanwhile we have to check these TWO expensive limited mount this month, we'll have to deal with REMOVAL of...14 items ?... Seriously ?

The Paradox Of Choice - Why too much choice is stressing us out

There is a HUGE difference between virtual cosmetic items in an online game and a physical store carrying literally 224 different kinds of Air Freshener like that article is talking about.

This is where we like to stand out, to be different, to have many choices for our own personal sense of style. When I usually play a new free to play MMO that doesn't have many costume choices in the store yet, I just skip buying any at all until more are put in later. I hate to buy out of limited stock and then have the same look that so many others end up having.

Everybody in this game is a spender, you have to be to be playing. It's not like a free to play game where just having any old costume is going to be more than what the majority of players have because they're freebies who don't buy anything.

It's so much different than what that article is talking about or about something like real electronic devices that the workings of confuse people and a better one is out about as soon as you get home. This is already simplified in that it's cosmetic items in an online video game. Our choice is already narrowed down just being here. The more options we have for our freedom of expression, the better.

You may as well argue that having only a couple of choices in a character creator is what people want if you're going by these articles about too much choice. But in this place and medium that isn't true for the majority of us.

We want more choice for our cosmetics (including pets and mounts as they're basically the same other than looks). Being that they're all the same, offer no bonuses and only look changes, they're all simplified already. We could have many hundreds of them and be extremely giddy.

To cut out items that were never listed as being limited time items is not cool at all.

If there's an issue with scrolling through the store with a controller (as a totally different person suggested but I only want to make this one reply), then make a better interface or categories etc for the controller to scroll through. Don't cut the items down.

This absolutely doesn't fit into the too much choice is all confusing for our little brains category. This is one where we want and need more choice to express ourselves and stand out from other people. If we want to buy a costume in game, we go and find one to buy. We find the one we like the best and spend the money on it. We don't go and say "I can't decide between this one and this one so I'm not going to buy either" because we're buying them to stand out and don't want to just drop it and not buy anything.

Anyway that article is talking about stores who have over 90,000 different items with hundreds of different choices for many simple things. If we get to 90,000 items in this store then sure, cut them down to 60,0000. For now though we don't have very many to begin with.

Taking away stuff that was never supposed to be limited is just so wrong...

I wonder if this post was
