Hi all,

I'm sure I've seen a sample price list posted, by a dev. But I can't for the life of me locate where I saw it.

Does anyone have a link?

Thanks muchly!

There's not going to be anything definite until they pretty much decide what's going to be in it.

Even if they did give us an example of what it might look like there will be people screaming bloody murder if there are any changes in price and quantity between the example and what finally goes live.

So it's in their best interests to keep things under wraps until they are ready.

I'd be willing to bet that they'll keep the cost about the same for an entire Super Booster once Freedom comes out.

However, the beauty of the Freedom system is that if you only want a few pieces from a particular Super Booster, you can just buy those pieces. So if you don't think you're going to end up using most of a particular Super Booster, you'd be better off buying things a la carte.

From the example it appears you can buy parts of the booster or get all of it as a bundle. And the bundle price appears to be approximately the same as the current price of a booster.

Wait.

You are accruing Paragon Points right now. 400 this month and 400 more in August. You'll be able to get that booster just with those points "for free" after Freedom launches.

Plus if you wait, when you do spend money in the store you'll get reward points that allow you to essentially buy vet rewards.

It's win-win for us to wait. Freedom is a much better deal for paying customers. I hope Paragon Studios realizes this and launches soon, for their sakes.

What you say is true but there's also the argument that if a person buys the boosters that are currently available now, then they will be able to spend that 1200 or so free points on something else when Freedom goes live.

In either case it's still a win win situation.

Don't forget about the extra Paragon Reward Token you get if you wait and buy after Freedom. Just sayin'.

Just as a note, they've said the 'free' points we get with a VIP membership don't count toward the vet rewards. Its buying points that count towards it, not spending the points after they're in your possession.
