Old Time Exclusive Items Ever Returning?

Hi, I'm returning to the game after about a year long hiatus, during such time I've missed quite a few time exclusive items such as the Green Narsis Guar and the Frost Mare. Does anyone think we will ever get a chance at getting these items again?

    It's unlikely as I'd read an interview in December where a staff member described the re-release of the black senche and spotted senche as an unusual occurrence because console players never had an opportunity to purchase such with their original limited time release preceding console release, but one can never say never.

    In all likelyhood, -someday- they might re-release limited stuff for a short time, so that newcomers might have a chance at it as well. I would expect at least a year to pass between initial release and re-release... possibly more... and maybe they will even wait for special occasions. You know... re-release the frostmare on winter solstice or somehting like that...

    I'd like to know if they will bring back limited items as well.. Like example for right now the White guar being in the shop. I can't exactly afford to fork over more money when I already pay for the sub to this game and the mount is costing just as much and more than some of the DLC packs.. >_< Plus things being in a shop for a limited amount of days and never returning is purely a money grab..

    I can easily take my business elsewhere and not feel like I'm trying to be conned out of some quick cash. I'd also like to point out a lot of mounts are just re-colors.. Like in the case of the White Guar. I have all the other Guar mounts from the shop because 1,300 wasn't a bad price to me when I'm subbed monthly. But the new one is limited 4 days and costs 2,500? Why?

    I don't know. Limited edition collectibles are never remade... but then again if you want a real world collectible and you're a latecomer you can purchase from someone that invested initially. So maybe they'd re-release the limited editions with an even higher price tag...

    All that can really be said is they've never promised one way or the other, but they have made clear these are limited time offers and if you want it you should buy it while available. And other comments they've made about the exceptions for the senches last December suggest you might not get another chance.

    There was a comment that Gina made early on in relation to this, when someone asked whether limited edition items would ever become available again (this was at the time of the first limited edition item being sold). She said, essentially, that limited time items are not one-chance-only items and have a chance of returning.

    That was before the comment made regarding the black senche panther and clouded senche leopard making a return for console players, so perhaps they've changed their mind and won't ever be releasing these items again. I find that unlikely, given that there are new players all the time, but it would perhaps be quite a while before they would return.

    As for the Frost Horse, I think that was available prior to console, so perhaps that will get the same treatment as the two senches and at least get released again for console players.

    I'd be very surprised if they genuinely didn't ever re-release any of these items, simply because they'll be missing out on a lot of sales.

    I understand that limiting the availability encourages people who might otherwise keep telling themselves they'll get it 'one day' to get on and buy it (I've been that person on more than 1 occasion) but releasing it once a year or so has the same effect and enables people who weren't around, didn't have the money, couldn't log in that day etc. to have another chance, therefore increasing sales overall.

    (I have to admit though I might be biased by the fact that I really don't like limited time items. I feel guilty any time someone asks where my clouded-leopard senche came from and I have to say they can't have one.)

    We will see the return of "limited" items,but I doubt that "exclusives" will return any time soon,as they were given exclusively one time.
