From Holly “Windstalker” Longdale‘s twitter:
We are excited to announce we’re adding an amazing Ethernere wyvern mount to the CoE Collector’s Edition!
and for SOE Live attendees who have been justifiably balking at the $50 upsell to get the Chains of Eternity: Collector’s Edition, it looks like there may be some movement on that price:
Also, our Community and Marketing team has exciting announcement coming this afternoon for SOE Live folks looking to upgrade CoE…
Glad to see these two changes based on player feedback.
From Dexella on the EQ2 Forums:
SOE Live attendees will be able to upgrade to a Collector’s Edition for $20.00 (or foreign currency equivalent). Please complete the pre-order purchase flow as normal; you will see the reduced price once your credit card is charged. You must pre-order the Collector’s Edition on the same account you registered for SOE Live with and you must pre-order before the deadline at 11:59 pm on November 12th.
I hope that the upgrade also works for Platinum subscribers… We also get the base edition included so would be nice they remembered there are some of us left 🙂
Too little too late for me. If the mount had been included orginally, I probably would have bought the CE, but I’ve already pre-ordered the regular version and I don’t care enough to jump through hoops to upgrade. Well, I suppose I should be happy that they saved me money 😉
I am happy they actually listened and were willing to budge.
Is the mount 1 per account, or 1 per character?
I would imagine that the mount is one per character.
Mermut, if you sent a Support e-mail you could probably get switched up pretty easily. SOE Support is pretty good.
Okay, so the deadline for Fan Faire (forever!) attendees is November 12th? What if we, on the east coast, don’t get power by then? I don’t think I can do the pre-order from my mobile phone . . .
Charn, if you can go on EQ2Wire, I’m pretty sure you’d be able to preorder it. Otherwise, call SOE support, they can probably help you.
So do you only get the mount if you went to Soe live or is it if you pre order the CoE CE
@swagems “…adding an amazing Ethernere wyvern mount to the CoE Collector’s Edition”
sounds like they listened to the complaints, and added something extra to the CE edition. For some characters, their current merc would have been better than the CE merc, and the potions were not worth the money.
Good for them for listening, then acting on it
