Crown Store - Merchandise reductions / Limited-time merchandise?

KriHavok · March 2015

So, before I dive into the Crown Store, I want to do some Crown management here before I freak out and buy everything...

My queries are...

1. Will there ever be price reductions on either Crown Store merchandise or Crown packs that are purchasable through the account page.
2. Will there ever be limited-time merchandise on the Crown Store, because I don't want to be stuck later on, unable to purchase the limited-time items.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Will there be a warning before items are taken off the store? Just so if we are saving up our crowns in preparation for an item, it isn't taken off beforehand.

Yes, there will be messaging to let everyone know that an item will be limited-time or retired.

It will be a big help if ZOS can answer these ( @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , @ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JasonLeavey ) OR if it's already been answered somewhere (I've already had a quick scan to now success) I would really appreciate a link.

Thanks

Interesting timing... I just saw this post (which was posted shortly after you started this thread) in another thread that answers your question:

The transition to Tamriel Unlimited has opened up some new opportunities for us. Now that ESO is no longer completely subscription-based, we're able to offer frequently requested character customization options such as the 'Play any race, any alliance' option.

As Tamriel Unlimited grows, we will regularly add and remove items from the Crown Store, switch up the content of item bundles, and even sell items currently in bundles à la carte. You should expect to see changes to store inventory on a regular basis. Please give us your feedback about what types of things you would like to see in the Crown Store, and we'll take that into account when making store inventory changes and designing new items.

I freaked out and bought (almost) everything. Oops.

I have a feeling that there will be sales and specials on items possibly in the future. It makes sense that Zeni would have Live Ops driven towards the Crown Store in order to generate revenue and interest in the store.

I probably wouldn't wait too long though because you never will know for sure when they're going to do a sale. Unless they decide to have weekly sale events or something similar eventually.

Or you can keep subscribed and keep receiving 1500 crowns per month. Or you can just buy crowns when time limited stuff come out. Depends on you really

Thanks! That's a big help, it's just getting to know if ZOS will introduce reduction sales now.

I'm sure that they probably will, but not for a while, as it will probably be based on which items aren't selling, which ones are, etc. It'll take them a while of gathering data before they can start doing analysis to try to figure out what sales they should do in order to best increase their revenue.
