Pre-order packs

Pre-order packs were available from the Loja de cosméticos up until they ended on January 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.^[1]^[2]

We offer cosmetics for players who wish to support the project early. The exclusive nature of the limited availability is something I think collectors value. If you buy cosmetics as an MMO player, I know I enjoyed if the cosmetic is rare and not every girl at the party is wearing the same dress. In addition, these cosmetics are used to populate the world through NPC variants and color/texture changes so their offering aligns with our production schedule. The good thing about these packs is they contain no P2W advantages and there is no box cost, so from a mechanics standpoint you do not need to buy them to excel in the game on launch. And also, there are comparable and subjectively more grand cosmetics achievable in game as well.^[3] – Steven Sharif

Pre-order pack upgrades are possible for current pack holders for the difference in price.^[4]^[5]^[6] Upgrades to Kickstarter and Crowdfunding do verão packs are also available in the store for the difference in package price.^[7]

Loja de cosméticos

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.^[2]

There is going to be legendary cosmetics that can be earned and achieved in the game through the game systems, but that's going to take a significant amount of effort and work; and those cosmetics are going to be on-par with the cosmetics offered in the marketplace... What that does is it provides additional revenue to the company so that we can continue to fund the development of content as well and bridge the divide that not having a box cost would have and not having any pay-to-win mechanics whatsoever.^[19] – Steven Sharif

A Loja de cosméticos permite aos jogadores compras de Cosméticos para uso em Ashes of Creation.^[20] A loja de cosméticos oferece itens disponíveis por tempo limitado e em quantidade limitada, que ajudam a manter o desenvolvimento sustentável do jogo.^[21]

Cosméticos equitativos, tanto de um ponto de vista de qualidade como de quantidade, são obteníveis por meios dentro do jogo.^[21]
Nada na loja de cosméticos será pay to win.^[22]

Nada na nossa loja jamais será pay to win (pagar para ter vantagens no jogo), já que acreditamos que essa prática fere fervorosamente o gênero dos MMORPGS..^[22]

Cosméticos da loja oferecerão uma diversa seleção de visuais únicos. ^[23]

Eu quero incentivar a compra de cosméticos na loja pela sustentabilidade das expansões que tenho planejadas, já que não temos valor de venda nelas. Eu quero incentivar a compra oferecendo itens limitados: Tempo limitado para compra, quantidade limitada, assim você sente confiança de que quando você compra quaisquer skins, elas não serão oferecidas novamente de alguma outra maneira.^[21] – Steven Sharif

Todos os itens da loja de cosmético serão não negociáveis.^[24] Não haverá mecanismo de presentear itens cosméticos.^[25]

Eu não quero que itens cosméticos comprados pelo mercado sejam transferíveis... porque essa seria uma possibilidade de transformar dinheiro real em vantagens no jogo.^[25] – Steven Sharif
