NCSoft nor Paragon Studios are in the habit of announcing when a retail product they expect to sell for a profit will be made available for a lowered price in advance. Final sale prices are largely left up to marketing partners.

The recent NCSoft / Paragon Studios announced $10 sale of Going Rogue through Best Buy was a special marketing promotion exclusively for the Black Friday / Cyber Monday retail sales event weekend. That type of sale is not likely to be repeated until next years Black Friday / Cyber Monday retail sales event.

So if you did not take advantage of the Black Friday / Cyber Monday retail sales event deal for Going Rogue, you likely will have to wait for the MSRP on Going Rogue to drop, and that is probably is not going to be anytime soon.

Ya know the old saying, "You snooze, you lose."

Now you'll just have to watch places like Gamestop, Direct2Drive, Steam, Amazon, or your local retail stores and hope they put it on sale again.

Hope you don't have to wait too long.

Oh well if I gotta pay 40 bucks then I shall.

Currently at Amazon GR Complete Edition $24.99 + S&H $30 bucks

Gamestop just had it on sale for $19.99 currently unavailable.

GoGamer.com was selling it for $29.90 but is now out of stock.


Now this next place cracks me up. Their idea of a sale is to jack up the price $20 bucks higher.



The greed of some businesses is amazing.

I have seen it for $29.99 at Wal-mart.

Only problem with retail stores is that their sales may only be local to that area. So a sale in your area may not be going on in my area, or the OP's.

Yea, and they also have to have it in stock. It is not a high volume game so you might not find it in most walmarts at any price.

I will ask a somewhat related question here to avoid a new topic.

If you purchase GR to start an additional count, do you still get the +2 extra server slots to allocate to whichever server you wish? Want to know if I will have 12 or 14 slots for my main server when I purchase.

Heck, based on past behavior, you might not find it at Wal-Mart even if they have it in stock.

Yes the slots are a part of the GR complete edition. They are advertised as such. I split mine up between two different servers, and you don't have to redeem them right away. I didn't pick which servers to add them to until now to answer your question.

So you can have 1 server with 14 slots or 2 servers with 13.

Oh and if you aren't aware of it, for every year your account remains active you get a free character slot as a vet reward. That's every 12 active months. Any time your account is inactive doesn't count.
