Edit: ooh a 25% xp boost, that'll be handy for levelling my champ.

[gilrob]

Yup, also for my champ, lm, burg, rk :P

[Chipmore]

Oooohhhhh I am excited!!

Hmm was just checking price in euro's

the heroic pack is $39,99

If i check it with a realtime exchange rate it should be euro 27,38

if i set currency to euro on the website they would charge me 34,99 euro

That's a big difference imho.

So if i would use paypal to pay, and pay in dollars it would probably be cheaper then paying in euro's?

(yes i'm a cheap bastard) ;)

[JarasMD]

Yep I'll be paying in dollars via paypal too, it should save me a fiver overall.

There's no GeoIP type stuff going on as far as I can tell and they don't seem that bothered by people discussing it on the official forums so I don't think there'll be any consequences.

Also it looks like the preorder offer is running right up until the day before release according this:

[Chipmore]

I used Paypal and paid in dollars mate because I am a tight bastard!

[gilrob]

So am I! and i will also pay in dollars :D

[JarasMD]

Tight as a duck's arse the lot of you!


and me too

Edit: ooh closed beta starting in the next few weeks.

[gilrob]

Unlike you Alex, we don't know how tight a ducks ass is ;)

[JarasMD]

Lies and slander! In any case I'm not the one who has a song about my exploits!

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
Oh lord Rob's shagged them all!

Hey all, I am considering getting rise of Isengard but I currently do not have any of the other expansions. I was thinking of getting the legendary edition and what I am wondering is do i get the other expansion packs free with it?

[Oaktree1]

•Access to the Path of the Fellowship Quest Packs including Trollshaws, Eregion, Lothlórien and Moria plus the Mirkwood Quest Pack as a special bonus

u get the quest packs not the expansion - i would take that to mean you could play moria etc but you woudnt get access to the rk or wdn as they was with the expansion and would still need to unlock the classes - and with the 1k pts u would receive u could then buy enedwaith maybe - i dont know how many pts that is in the store tho

[JarasMD]

Enedwaith is 695 points so the Legendary Edition is a great deal for f2players, although I'm not sure how much the Warden/Runekeeper classes cost separately. You're also upgraded to premium when you order the expansion (if you aren't already) which offers a few bonuses over being a completely Free Player.
