As many of you who have been following us on Facebook and Twitter are aware - here is the announcement we mentioned we would give and that we hope will clearly provide further details to the current status of the Asoka Limited Edition Set. Here are the main points of our announcement:
1.) Pre-sale Dates and Times
After receiving feedback from different representations of our International Community and as we are waiting upon the completion of certain essential development task to carry out this sale, we have changed the dates and times of the sale. Again, our goal was to accommodate our International community by ensuring that we divided up the 500 Limited Edition Sets into two sales so that it would give a wider spread of players a better chance. Here are the new dates and times:
2.) Value of the LE Set
While we knew Asoka was to come with our Renaissance expansion - there was much consideration that needed to be made for her release. This was no small task when there are several view points that needed to be acknowledged. Those viewpoints included our partners - imcGames, Hanbitsoft, our Executive Team at GamersFirst, the Sword 2 Production Team and - most importantly - the Sword 2 Community.
We understand that many of you have been long-standing members of that community for several years, and some of you are new-comers who sought a community that was welcoming and shared similar passions to your own. For all of you, we hoped to offer something exclusive.
While our ears are open to our community and value your honest feedback - we do stand by the idea behind the value of this set, therefore, the price for the set remains 85.00 USD.
With that said - we did take your feedback into consideration and understood that we needed to improve our idea behind the set. We have changed the set to include the following:
- Asoka UPC Card
- Sakura - Asoka Exclusive Permanent Costume
- Three (3) Golden Archangel Wings (Permanent)
- 13,100 Gold Package
- 3 Month Benefit - Three (3) Rose Wings (30 Day)
Each month upon receiving the Asoka LE Set you will receive 3 Rose Wings (30 Day) for 3 months total.
[Total wings provided for the 3 Month Benefit = 9 Rose Wings (30 Day)]
3.) Payment Options
Upon reviewing the multiple pages of feedback we have received through our Forums and our Social Media outlets, we are working on making the Asoka Limited Edition Set available for purchase using G1 Credits. At this time I have been assured by our Development Team that we intend for that function to work.
Payment Options that are currently available to purchase G1 Credits through our Marketplace should also be applicable for purchasing the Asoka Limited Edition Set (depending upon payment options available to your specific region). For players, anticipating using Ultimate Game Card for G1 Credits please note it WILL NOT WORK!
There will be a button (similar to that of Gold Packages) on the Sword 2 Marketplace for the Asoka Limited Edition Set when the Pre-sale goes live.
Again the price for the Asoka Limited Edition Set is 85.00 USD or 6,800 G1 Credits.
4.) Injections - Delivery of Sets
As mentioned in the original announcements this is a PRE-SALE. The sales will occur Thursday and Friday (PST) as mentioned above. IF all 500 sets are sold out by Friday then the sets will be injected into players' accounts by Tuesday 5/10/11 (PST). We will notify immediately should there be any delays - however, we do not expect that to be the case.
We hope that we have helped answer most of your questions regarding the Asoka LE Set and that the details provided will allow you to plan accordingly in order to make your purchase.
We will be sending further updates through out the week so please continue to stay tuned for the latest news.
Thank you,
Quinzel
** EDIT (5/2/11 PST) - Rose wings benefit is for 3 Months instead of the 6 months. Sleeplessness can do funny things to math. **
** EDIT: (5/3/11 12 PM PST) - Added G1C Value, updated Injection details section, and updated Payments details section that UGC will not work. . **
