Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

At least it's not Star Citizen prices:

What the fuck? Do people actually pay that for virtual bullshit? That's like the price of a used Honda!

There's also a pack containing every ship they've sold which you can only see/purchase if you've spent one thousand dollars in their ship store. I'll spoiler the price so you can try and guess how much it is first:

$48,000, not counting the $1000 you have to spend to be able to see it.

Edit: I should include the source for that price since (as mentioned) you can't even see the pack until you've dropped $1k

It's intended for whales and for the 65 crew members to split. But I can't imagine they sell many.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's still a little bit over $46 a player. So you'd have to have 65 whales agree to split it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

$46 a player isn’t unheard of, even outside whaling.

[–] NotMaster 6 points 7 months ago

Sadly they sell many. They sell them in batches like twice a year and they sell out in seconds.
