Paragon Market Purchases

Hello, everyone!

Just this morning I was considering acquiring some of the costume pieces I have yet to purchase. So, I go to the Paragon market window to check them out, and it seems to me that my total points are 400 lower than they should be.

Now, I'm open to the possibility that I did buy something but just don't remember. However, there doesn't seem to be any means to review my prior purchases on the Paragon market. Is that correct? Is there really no stored history for what you buy?

Everything else about my account is tracked as evidenced by the list of payments and purchases under My Account. I find it puzzling that there doesn't seem to be a record for the Paragon market.

Any ideas? How do I verify that my point total is accurate?




Thanks all!

If you look at your billing summary under account management, you can review the last 90 days worth of microtransactions.

Can you tell if you purchased something there?

We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Thank you for the reply.

I had checked that early, but just to be sure I loaded the blling summary just now. The only thing listed under Microtransactions are the point purchases I have made since the end of November, including those that I earn under my VIP status. None of the Paragon Market purchases I made with those points are listed: not a single one. And I have made plenty of them.

I know that my point total had gotten very low for a time, and I was waiting for it to go back up. I did buy the Roman costume pack recently, but I thought my point total was high enough to leave a good balance. At this time, I am just not sure and want to see what I bought, when, and be able to view my point balance as it changed over time: just as I do in my check book.

Still waiting for Support to get back to me. Maybe I am missing a button or screen that will show the purchases. My "Billing Summary" does not show any of them.

Your purchases aren't listed anywhere. You can use this guide to get a crappy list of what your account has unlocked, but it is a messy experience at best. Probably better to just wait for support.

Given that I've not received my stipend this month, it is entirely possible they broke something (again).

Check your account, billing, microtransactions section for the last day you got a stipend.



As you can see, I didn't get my stipend for the month of February, despite getting the stipend on the 8th of December and January. Also despite that my next billing date is in Feb 2013.

As to your purchase history the market history is, to put it bluntly, crap.

Hello!

Thank you for the very useful replies.

I will definitely try the the /mypurchases command.

I have received a reply from Support. There is no data tracking that can be viewed for Paragon Market purchases. Only point stipends and point purchases are tracked. They pretty much told me to comment here so the Developers can see it. To say that I found that disappointing is a gross understatement.

However, being upset will not resolve anything. So, I will try purchase command recommended, and see what happens. I have also moved on and assumed that I forgot I bought something. So, more points purchased for me! Yah!

Thanks again, everyone!

The /mypurchases command is interesting. It still would be nice to be able to see it in the store. Especially because stuff you have already purchased still shows up as buyable in the store as well, you only end up getting a weird error if you try to buy it again.

I find that for a game that's trying to make money though the store, it's odd that it is basically the only part of the game that crashes the game and has all these other quirks.
