If the 48 slots afforded [eq2u]metallic reptile hide backpack[/eq2u]s just doesn’t cut it and you need a full 50 slots to carry your worldly possessions, then head to the Marketplace this Mother’s Day weekend where you can acquire 50 slot bags. This offer is only valid for THIS weekend.
From EverQuest.com.
best bag in-game available ONLY via station cash.
So f*cking wrong.
Complain complain complain sry I´m so sick of it ^^
SOE is not here to do good on mankind but to make money… wouldn´t make much sense to sell a bag thats smaller or equal in size than the ones already ingame lol
It’s only 2 more slots…
2 more slots? Enough to be nice-to-have, but in no way game-changing. This to me is pretty much an ideal example of what SC is for – it’s not going to give you an ‘edge’, but if you want to spend money, then why not?
Whining about SOE working at making money is not only futile, but displays a rather endearing naivity about how the world works in general, and how big Corps like Sony work in particular……
Will be interested to know how much these bags are being sold for.
Perhaps they are on “sale” like the Pink Cow – instead of 50,000 sc, they are just 5,000 sc 😉
I am all for SOE making money however if they spent half as much time working on actual game rather than their damn store we might be able to actually run thru a quest line or two without it being bugged and then we could tell our friends how epic life on Norrath is and get them to join. I gotta agree with the OP here while two more slots may not be “game changing” it is still the best you can get available for money only and that is wrong. there was a time when the players would not stand for this in the store.
Soe can have money when they earn it, which they do for the most part, but not in the store. The gaming model is “play the game, get stuff.” When you buy it for real money, it won’t be long before you realize you’re not playing a game any more. You’re just handing them money for nothing.
@Avianna – I would hate to have merchandisers and economists working on coding the game.
That having been said, more coders would be good.
@Avianna and what if they hired someone dedicated to producing SC content across their various games? What’s that person supposed to do, go work on the game mechanics instead so he can get fired?
Resource allocation in game design is not always a zero sum game designed to screw you over. It would be if studios could only make all-or-nothing allocation decisions but thankfully they are able to assign resources to multiple tasks. Trust me, that is a good thing.
500 SC. I might’ve been interested if they’d been 200, but 500 is too high for my tastes. *goes and mass-produces 100 bubinga strongboxes*
500sc for a 50 slot bag when game already has a 48 slot? LOL LOL…NO fing way!!! what a stupid idea this is…not paying 500, or even 100sc for a bag with only 2 more slots than what you can get for free by dungeons and player made–game changing? lol i think not, they should of made a 60 slot bag at least, then maybe….but ohhh, its more important to take away pr/soh/vp, and the rest ….sure is interesting how sales are going now, at least on butcherblock…no one’s bidding like they used to lol…stuff gettin muted….good job soe!!
It’s all about choices. You want a high capacity bag and pay nothing? Go grind some dungeon marks. You have the platinum to buy a metallic hide pack? Go buy that. You have SC lying around, don’t know what else to do with it and want the extra two slots? Buy the RBB.
The only fact I don’t like about this is the devs said that there are technical limitations so a container cannot be bigger than 48 slots. Either they lied or the code has been changed, in which case I would have preferred to be able to obtain a 50 slot container in game at the same time as the SC version.
People seem to think that the attention SOE puts into the store negatively affects what they can devote to the game. They are separate teams, and there’s only so many people that can be utilized on either before there’s diminishing returns.
And this is only 2 slots more than what’s already in game. How is it game-breaking again?
Not even tradeable, so you can’t even give it to your mom if she plays.
Reading everyones responses is quite funny. some are mad cuz they even put them in , some are mad because they are 500 SC, still others feel the bags should have been 60 slots.
2 more slots in a bag is in no way game changing , the day I feel that someone has an advantage because they have a bigger bag …( that just sounds wrong lol ). I can see the raid recruitment messages now . “so and so recruiting blah blah blah.. must have minimum drinal gear 320 aa and 50 slot bags.
If stuff is getting muted it is because the sellers have to high of a minimum price , they will need to adjust their selling to the current plat that people have , I myself will give something away to someone before muting a good item.
lol, could not care less on them. They said big bags and I laughed when they were just 2 slots more. Not really a consideration unless you just have to packrat 2 more slots of items or 12 slots overall.
