Accessing the in game store...

I am fairly new to the game, I keep reading stuff about an in-game store. Where is this store and how do I access it?

And no I am not talking about Wentworth's Consignments.

You'll see it at the character select screen. IIRC, it's a shopping bag in the lower right hand corner. Hopefully someone can clarify, because I don't use it.

Pretty much the only things that I know it carries are name changes and extra character slots.

All this will change with Freedom.

Go to PlayNC. Has Superbooster packs and games, but don't see any way to buy character slots there.

You log into your account on the store and buy something there. The game will ask which account to put the items on.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

The in-game store doesn't actually exist yet. What DumpleBerry and Starpheonix are talking about is the NCSoft store, which is accessible from the Character Creation screen. You can buy respecs, charater slots, and server transfers there.

For the actual in-game store with powersets, costume pieces and more fun in-game items you'll have to wait until i21/Freedom is released later this year.

I know it's semantics, but I have to disagree. I've purchased stuff from the in-game store before. It may be kludgy and have minimal content for sale, but it was entirely in-game. Further, you can't buy the in-game items at the PlayNC store. Which, while having all the "good stuff" one would probably want to buy, is not at all accessible from in-game.

Now that you've received multiple conflicting answers (since there are multiple 'stores'), tell us exactly what you are trying to buy and we can tell you where to find it.

If you're talking about game expansions, booster packs (Science Pack, Mutant Pack, Steampunk Pack, etc) - these are in the NCSoft store which is web based. If you're talking about server transfers, extra character slots, these are handled at the character selection screen. If you're talking about the Rocket Board, Titanic Weapons powerset, etc - these are not in the game yet and the store that will carry them does not yet exist.

This probably should have been the second post in the thread. Thanks, Ironblade!

The OP might be talking about the actual stores in-game where they sell DOs and SOs. Those show up on the map of the zone you are in.
