March 30, 2012: Price Adjustments to Cloak and Dagger Skins

Since going live with the Cloak and Dagger patch, we have received a lot of user feedback on the pricing for Skins. Based on that feedback, we have decided to adjust the pricing some on the Cloak & Dagger packages and skins.

Specifically:

  • The Assassin Skin has been repriced from 1200 to 975 gold
  • The Mercenary Skin has been repriced from 800 to 675 gold
  • The Mercenary Pack (which includes the Mercenary skin plus the 3 Cloak & Dagger weapons) has been repriced from 1200 to 1132 gold)
  • The Assassin Pack (which includes the Assassin skin plus the 3 Cloak & Dagger weapons) has been repriced from 1800 to 1282 gold)
  • The Premium Pack (which includes both skins plus the 3 Cloak & Dagger weapons) has been repriced from 2000 to 1620 gold)

We have issued gold refunds for everyone that purchased any of these skins or packages under the old pricing. Specifically:

  • Those that purchased the Assassin Skin have been refunded 225 gold
  • Those that purchased the Mercenary Skin have been refunded 125 gold
  • Those that purchased the Mercenary Pack have been refunded 68 gold
  • Those that purchased the Assassin Pack have been refunded 518 gold
  • Those that purchased the Premium Pack have been refunded 518 gold (Note: This is greater than the 380 gold price difference between the old and new price)
