I'm not sure if I should buy that thing or not. They are cool but ultimately no better than any other mount. But they are cool. Dammit!

    I want it, but it costs more than a sub. This reasoning makes me wonder how much the dlc is going to cost. I really hope they don't think they will be able to release full game priced expansions at first. They have too much catching up to do before they try that.

    This is totally IMO....

    I am against the whole marketing ploy of "Limited Time Offer" and "Once in a life time, chance" It's a mount, through it in the crown store and be done with it. Sure, Zenni will make a surge of cash up front but people will grow tired of the repetition of this ploy and it will cost them cash in the long run. :neutral:

    I know, it set in the second I saw the post. I just don't understand how this company thinks. It had a sub model, released lackluster content, uses cash shop to catch up on lost funds and will then give people an ultimatum on dlc; pay overpriced in cash shop or sub.

    I'm not totally sure it's working like that. There are factors that we, the players, don't see. I am thinking one of the biggest reasons why the subs ended is because Zenni wanted to release to console. A majority of players on console are not going to spend money for internet, money for Xbox Live or Sony's online thing, and more money for sub. That's going to be at least $45 a month and up. Take into account that Microsoft and Sony were probably not willing to work with Zenni on sharing the money from subs to their online systems. And there is really only 2 options left. Drop the console version and loose money or drop the subs.

    But lowering the cost would probably sell more, so..

    It's not the last Senche mount you're going to see in the crown shop, can guarantee that much. I'm still saving my crowns, waiting to see what the next few months have in store for us. I'd hate to spend all my crowns just to have something I want even more, introduced right after.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again; I don't mind subbing. Currently it's what, approx $15 to sub? That's three drinks at Starbucks. Do I get more enjoyment out of the game in a month than I would from three drinks at Starbucks? Yes; therefore, it's worth the sub.

    Then you get a) all DLC without having to spend crowns for it, and b) crowns ADDED to your account.

    Less spending of crowns + additional monthly crowns = many crowns to spend on fun stuff like leopard senches!

    I'm going to name this one Dirty Senchez the Second.

    Limited time offers don't mean the same same thing as one time offers or limited time offers brought back by special demand or discounted limited time offers brought back by special demand. Like someone else said you will probably see that mount again.

    "Limited time offer", is certainly open to interpretation. Which is why it is a successful marketing ploy because it implies that it will "only" be available for a limited time and never again. Then when it is offered again, for a lower price, those that purchased it the first time, feel they are getting cheated.

    I'll be buying it later today....the only valid reasons not to buy are:
    1. No crowns and no money
    2. You don't want it
    3. You didn't log on and missed the opportunity

    This is one of the problems with time-limited offers. You'll have free crowns for subbing next month, but you have to get it NOW, so go get your credit card and top up those crowns :)

    The other problem is that the pet may appear in the store again in the future. For fewer crowns. And you'll feel cheated out of those crowns you topped up in order to take advantage of the time-limited offer.

    There is another game where you can buy space ships for 10k+ ;) and the game isn't even out yet, except a "ghost town" where you can fly in. I am also in an Alpha test and some people there actually paid 100 bucks to become an Alpha test subject ;)

    I am very curious how all of this stuff will settle in over the next 5-10 years. Todays gamers seem very enthusiastic as customers for virtual goods. Sure you can argue that buying a decent car costs you 15k as well, but I mean this is at least real :* Then again, if you crash with your virtual space ship, you wont get hurt, but with a real car...

    That said, the DLC for sure wont be cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if they go for a 30-50 bucks range.

    Actually, this was very clearly explained.

    In conjunction with the Welcome Back Weekend event, we also have a collection of new offerings available in the Crown Store. The new items include a svelte Senche-Leopard mount, available for 2,500 crowns, available for a limited time from April 16th, at 10:30AM EDT through Monday, April 20th. (The option to purchase the Senche-Leopard mount will be removed from the Crown Store during the regular maintenance period on Monday, April 20th for North America and Tuesday, April 21st for Europe.)

    @Dekkameron The Senche-Leopord is only available April 16-20.. it will be pulled from the crown store during Monday's maintenance.

    Jessica HAS stated it MAY come back in the future. Source
    The Senche-Leopard mount will be available for a limited time from April 16th through April 20th, as detailed in the post we made today. It is possible we will make it available again in the future.

    I'm not sure what to do about the leopard mount, personally. It's something I wouldn't buy if it weren't limited. And I just know they're going to release it again in the future...

    Decisions decisions.

    They have a limited dev team now, console will get them box sales, they will finish off some content most of it is made. Will milk off us milk drinkers while they can. This is why nothing has been said about future dlc. They want to see how console sells. The plug was pulled when the PC subs did not stick. I paid till May and with experience pots in store soon I am close to stopping playing.
