Feldon Before it was so rudely interrupted by a few hackers you might have heard of, the StationCash “May Madness” deal had been announced and was slated to run from May 2nd–5th. Prior to Friday’s announcement, players noticed that May Madness was indeed in effect and we now know it will run until May 25th.
Discounts cover a wide range of services including Character Slots, Guild Renames, Character Transfers, Character Name and Race Changes, as well as Vitality, Evac, and Tracking potions. Check out the EverQuest2.com article for the complete list of discounts.
And starting on May 27th, SOE will be having its first Triple StationCash event. This event will unfortunately be limited to StationCash cards only, making it mostly a North American event.
Between 12:01 AM PDT May 27, 2011 and 11:59 PM PDT May 30, 2011, redeem any SOE Pre-Paid Game Card and get TRIPLE Station Cash for a limited time only!
Visit your favorite Station Cash Card retailer to stock up on cards now and be ready to redeem when the event begins next weekend!
Clearly this is a measure to try to get enough sales volume on the cards to persuade retailers to continue to stock the cards (or restock in the case of retailers who have dropped SOE’s cards). Note that most StationCash cards are branded FreeRealms, with newer multi-game cards that double as StationCash or a monthly subscription to specific SOE games. ANY card you buy with “StationCash” and a value written on it can be used. StationCash cards can be redeemed at SOE.com.
Would like to point out that this will be a US only event, as I have yet to see the cards up here in Canada
That is correct. The last few StationCash specials have accepted retail cards or buying it on SOE.com or even in-game. Not so with this latest event.
