Hello again

Another week with sales in the store, again some that might be quite beneficial for some of you! 4 items are discounted at -20%:

• Shared Storage: Buy this to get access to a special vault that lets you store items in a place where all of your alts (on the same server) have access to them! Very useful to trade items (mailing might not always be so ideal), or just as extra storage space when your own vault is full.
  
• Vault Upgrades: You can purchase upgrades for your vault with in-game gold and silver, up to 120 storage slots per character. If you want more storage space after that, you have to purchase it with TP by getting this item from the store.
  
• Inventory Bags: Every player starts with 3 inventory bags. Everyone knows these fill up immediately, even after the temporary loot bag was introduced a few updates ago. VIP players and characters that were logged in to during VIP time in the past, have access to 5 bags. F2P and Premium players need to buy these bags from the store. There's also a 6th bag that is available through the store only, except if you pre-ordered the RoR expansion (Legendary edition), which included a 6th inventory bag.
  
• Currency Cap Removal: All players start with a gold cap of 2G/character. That cap can be raised to 5G when you become premium, or be completely lifted by becoming VIP. The cap will still be gone when you downgrade back to premium, but if you create new characters afterwards, they'll still have to unlock the cap by either becoming VIP again or by buying this item from the store. It's account-wide, so no need to purchase it for every character (would be way too expensive to make us do that too). Lifting the currency cap is also the only way to get any money back you have in overflow (spending money with the cap active won't give you the money back, you really have to remove the cap for that).

That's it for the sales, next up is (as usual) the weekly freebie: A Sturdy Steel Key x1! Use coupon code LOCK6 to get it for free on one of your characters. Nalind is making a habit of sending a kin-mail about this, so I'm wondering if it's necessary to keep posting this here too... What do you guys think? (use the poll).

One last thing for this post: for a limited time, tier 9 stat tomes will be available in the store. This ends on January 30, so if you want to buy one, get it quickly!

That's it for this week, take care!

I voted yes, unless you're tired of doing it. Otherwise, I think you're doing a great service for this kin when you make these posts.

I read them, Ford.

It's not that I get tired of posting the weekly freebies, I just don't know if it's still useful if they're announced through kin mail as well (which is probably read more often than these forum posts)

I voted yes as I tend to find I focus more on the information when it is posted on the forum, as opposed to a mail post in game which I quickly scan read before rushing off to kill a slug in the shire. Also for a low level player as myself you tend to put a bit more information surrounding the benefits of certain discounted items allowing me to make a more informed choice whether I should spend my hard earned TP's on said item/s.
