Reclaim Moria Bundle - store only?

[SSG_RedPanda]

The goat pet and Gandalf emote will be available as a la carte purchases.

[Arnenna]

Yep. You could also add the goat to the various festival/event pick-a-mount boxes.

I don't think they need to do that. These are meant to be a time limited exclusive thing, tied in with the launch of Moria on the legendary server. They are meant to be unique and they are meant to pay for their own development time and resources by being a purchase only item. Nothing at all wrong with any of that.

But even the notion that buying one of these bundles would screw up the collections of alts is just mind boggling. People will want to buy these things, because of what they are and represent. I've no idea why SSG would limit the items inside to one per account. I get it with the housing items - they don't want players placing spares into the houses of other players that didn't part with the money, and that's fair enough. But there is no reason why they should restrict the pet and emote to one character only. If they are account bound, they can't be given away to those that didn't buy, so there is nothing to protect. In fact, if players have lots of alts running around with this pet and emote, it's likely more players will see them and try to find out where to get them. If I were to buy this bundle (which I definitely won't if this stays as is), I'd now open it on my main on EN, because she is my main collector. However, I don't play on EN now, so no other players would see the pet or emote. How's that for word of mouth advertising. However if they were not restricted to one character, people would see them on 9 alts on the LS - that's good advertising.

I'm sure some folk in marketing think, Oh do it this way, if x doesn't buy it, then x doesn't get that goat.

What they don't think about is, if x doesn't get that goat, their collection is moot, and all other goats, alongside all horses, become a lot less relevant in the process. If they miss one, then they may as well miss twenty as the result is the same, an incomplete collection.

[Thoroval]

I won't be purchasing this bundle (because I'm sure the price will be ridiculous), but the pet and emote should be account-wide just like the steed.

Now, if the bundle was free then I just might be tempted to buy an extra pet or emote here and there if the prices were reasonable.

You are so very correct. Once it became obvious I couldn't get them all, I stopped trying to get any of them except in rare cases. I know one guy that literally stopped playing (and paying for) LOTRO once he couldn't keep up his collections on his alts.

People complain about anything. Damned if you do, damned if you dont.

Dont like an offering, do not get it. End of story.

Not a complaint, but a request to SSG to consider the bundle and make it more appealing to those who want to buy it.

If you could sell that offering, or not sell that offering, I'm sure you'd rather know why you couldn't sell it. Rest assured, if its not to my liking, I won't buy it, and I won't complain about it either. Once it hits the store, it's done.

It is appealing to me right now... but I do not know the price.... soooooo... I wait before I freak out.
I am more interested in a door mat and the hollin gate then anything else.

People will guise behind wierd things. If developers limit, they say why not for all. If they charge, it is a money grab.

Sorry... just a wee bit tired of all the complaining. Im sure someone will temp to twist this and drag on a dead horse thread a little further.

The goat pet and Gandalf emote will be available as a la carte purchases.

Good move, looking forward to those.

[Androhir]

A single account-bound package for one character

This right here is why I won't be considering the package.

Got the old Moria with accountwhide 1 goat for free from quests there but whatever. This package as acountwhide would be expensiver..

Recived the 3rd smoking(like Gandalf) - emote and a 2nd from 1 quest. Also 1 for the beginners. ^^

Ah yes.. and an package which is supporting me up to lvl 60 or so.

ps.: i wish for an re sale of angmar.. my acc shows i do have only guest there...

/edit: this stuff is accountwhide.. or was.. idk.

Thank you!

But what about the mount? We just have to accept that only 1 of our characters from this point forward will be able to complete their mount collection?

[SSG_RedPanda]

The mount is account wide, so there shouldn't be an issue for those who wish to have it on all their characters.

[Boraxxe]

Hmmm...

350 candles...

Might come in handy on a birthday cake for Nar.

[Boraxxe]

The Dwarf-candle creates a spot of light at your feet and lasts for a short period of time. You can use this to do things like decorate events and mark locations.

This makes me think they are something like road-flares... ya light 'em, toss 'em, and that spot is lit up till they burn out.

I guess since they are digital we won't get the smelly, choking smoke.

Good news The bundle has more appeal now.

[Thurinuor]

The goat pet and Gandalf emote will be available as a la carte purchases.

Great news, thanks! <3

That means, i will buy it and a couple of extra pets for other alts. Pets are the best! <3

If you can, do it also for housing items

[Aly]

I second that request! If you could please make the housing items available additionally/individually, that would be great!

[Lord.Funk]

Any screenshots (promotional images) of that mount ??? I take it it's some sort of goat as it's Moria based (and named goat so that is kind of obvious). Since it's a Goat, no War-Steed cosmetics comes with it, right ???

[Marancil]

It's a Goat

Goat of the Moria Sentinel steed

Hardly a STEED. Can you call a War Goat a steed nowadays?

[Raymore]

3495 is way overpriced. Pass.

[Nasami]

I second that request! If you could please make the housing items available additionally/individually, that would be great!

Thirded! The *ONE* thing I desperately want from that bundle is whatever this Hollin Gate housing item is.

(And does anyone have screenshots of it they can share, please?)

Oh, thank you! That wasn't clear at all from the notes.

[SSG_RedPanda]

We will have the doormat and the wall item in the store in the future. Thanks for your feedback.
