EverQuest II’s twelfth expansion, coming in mid-November, will include the Altar of Malice expansion and Rum Cellar campaign. If you have recently resumed playing and can’t wait until then to play all this level 95-100 content, then now’s your chance to grab them at a 50% discount.
But perhaps the biggest audience for today’s 50% discount will be those players who missed out on the Striped Savage Pterodon mount, Elite Battle-Mystic Mercenary, 3 Gems of Armor Advancement, Prehistoric House Pet, and Mage Tower teleporter item for your house. If so, then the next two weeks are your last chance to get these items. This is the first time that the Altar of Malice Collector’s Edition has been discounted. Here’s the original announcement about what came with this release.
and here’s today’s announcement from the EQ2 Forums:
Get 50% off Altar of Malice and Rum Cellar now through Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 11:59PM PDT*!
In addition, this content is also available for Daybreak Cash during this promotion! Note that the 50% off promotion does not apply to the Daybreak Cash payment method.

“In addition, if you purchase (or pre-order) the next expansion, you’ll also get access to ALL of the previous expansion content (including the Rum Cellar Campaign).”

If you are planning to purchase the next expansion, which will include AoM and Rum Cellar, there is only one reason to purchase Altar of Malice at 50%.
“This is the last opportunity to get Altar of Malice Collector’s Edition items too!”

Of course if you don’t have AoM and don’t plan on purchasing the next expansion, this seems like a good deal.
Or am I missing something more obvious?

“September 30, 2015! After this date, Altar of Malice will no longer be for sale…hint hint.”

That’s it. That’s why I wrote what I wrote. The main reason to buy this is the CE stuff.
Ok. Thought it was something more devious. 😉
So the CE for $47.50 includes three 40 day spell potions. Normal 40 day upgrade is 1,960 SC. If you did three spell upgrades the total cost would be 5,880 SC, or equivalent to $58.80. Not taking into account discounted SC, bonus SC, free SC, etc.
If a player is going to pay for multiple spell upgrades …
For those of us who did not buy Rum Cellar, but have a ton of station cash, I now am getting it without feeling like I am wasting money. Plus if I waited for the next expansion I would not go back and run Rum Cellar anyway. So being able to use station cash is a win for me.
How much station cash does it cost? And is that only for rum cellar, or can you buy AoM as well?
Rum Cellar was 1499 DBC, you don’t get the half off. So whatever AOM was (40 bucks?) so probably 4000 DBC.
