    So, the starter packs on the webshop have just seen a jump in price. The contents still remain the same, they just cost more now.

    Bronze: $5 -> $10
    Silver: $15 -> $20
    Gold: $40 -> $60

    Thoughts on this? Anyone purchased more than one starter pack so far?

    Hmmmm thats not good ;( unless theres in increase in ped stack or stuff were not yet seeing.

    They were good value before but now with $ exchange rates against both the Euro & £ then this might be even harder to convince new arrivals to invest.

    I have both the Gold and Bronze packs - Its harder to skill up at higher levels and so skill pills are quite nice - also the vehicle in the gold pack since release is still going well and more or less full TT.

    I noticed the increase... and also that some other planets have starter packs now. Would be nice to see Ark have a starter pack.

    Although, I think there is some sort of problem with the webshop with paypal right now, as I bought one of the other planet starter packs this afternoon and as of yet, still haven't received it. I've purchased from the webshop a number of times and have never had a problem until today.

    I t hink 60 bucks for the gold starter pack is too much. If they've raised the price they should increase what you receive in it. That's just my 2 pec though.

    I have heard from a friend that when he ordered the RT started pack he had to wait two weeks for it because of a bug/problem. So, currently I wouldn't even invest in a started pack. (besides the fact I got no paypal or credit card. I would've bought a starter pack sooner if I could use my normal payment options.)

    Yeah, the RT starter pack had issues where it wasn't delivered, that's why they took it down from the webshop some weeks ago. I would have thought that the issue would be fixed before they put it back up.

    Nope, it took me having to fly over to RT and then relog before I got my stuff. And yes I tried relogging on ark when I bought it, and moving to a new server and it didn't help. So def a bug in the webshop.

    I still vote for Ark to get a starter pack.. I'd get one in support of Ark :)

    My guess would be that (MA) probably sells "to many" of them with the previous prices and are testing the market and adjusting accordingly? However that being said I fully agree with this considering how creative the dev team is on this planet;

    ...so +1! :)
