I just find it unfair that we're paying more and getting much less.
I'd rather receive same service as KR even if we have to give up on some services.

I always wanted to make a thread about this, but I'm doing it now since they're upgrading their service.

To be honest, I think they're doing it to retain players who are thinking about leaving when they release Ninja.
Their Carazek's Treasure Box renewal today also seems to be stealing players' attention from Ninja update.

I want this only because of that combo card thing. Man would it be nice to have a easy way to use combo cards

We need this for NA, but sadly, that most likely won't happens.

I am curious on the carasek gachapon renewal you mentioned as well!

Yes because one cat suit is going to steal all the attention. Seriously, like none of the items in the Carasek Treasure Box renewable look all that interesting aside from that Cat Suit which is not gender/age restricted and doesn't look like complete crap!

About fudging time Devcat! I've been wanting a high quality cat outfit for ages but everytime it's been either age restricted, looked like crap (looking at you neko robe) or was gender locked (stupid dog cape crap)

Lol the wigs was supposed to be with the set we recently got today but it's not released for NA yet, and KR Mabinogi got them via gachapons, gg.

More like those celtic suits and dresses are drawing attention.
They weren't mentioned in the official announcement.

They were up in a few hundred million golds, but now they're in Carazeks.
GG, market price.

Edit: my bad, the celtic outfits were mentioned in announcement.

Oooh wow, interesting...

Now only if NA mabi would do same thing with certain items... Such as Royal Prince/ss Armor Set, Butterfly Outfit Set, Sweetie Pie Butterfly wings, Cutie Pie butterfly wing, Incubus Wings, advanced succubus set, and some more.

KR has a tendency to release things we'd get in bags via gachapon, and occasionally vice-versa.
I'm looking at the damn re-release of after schools with battle school.

Huh, oddly enough that happened likewise in NA. The emerald's classic celt outfit was scarce, prices varying around 1m, and then last gacha dumped a few hundred into the market and you could likely haggle one out for 100k.

interesting update possible coming. Probably wont dish out for premium though. With my budget atm qq.

Didn't pay it much mind as I already got all those outfits so only new thing to me was the cat suit. I don't care about stuff I already have.

You got to be hyped because it is from a gacha (and probably going to be expensive) because that does not look good at all.

Are you telling me Emerald's Classic Celtic are worth something on KR? I have both male and female set on NA from the 2010 card and never bothered trying to sell it because it looks terrible lol.

Based on this image alone, I'd prefer NA's services over KR's, assuming prices were made equal. We may get shitty Gathering Speed Potions and lack the Check/Shop advantages, but everything else we get seems worth it. We get better Adv Play items (pre-change), Unlimited Continent Warp, and Free Style tabs. (And VIP missions if anyone does those.) Sure an update to the commerce penalty would be nice but I don't like it being a paid only feature.

I've never really envied KR's dialy adv play rewards (except maybe dye day) but this makes it sounds really great. Being able to collect all of the adv play rewards of every character on the server of the one you are logged into sounds really convenient, especially for accounts where the alts are mules rather than sidemains. back when Adv Play was a standalone service, I didn't understand why anyone would want it other than to get Extra Storage and Premium Service in one- But if it were liek this from the start, where there were multiple good/decent guaranteed rewards each day IN ADDITION to the crappy random ones, then it'd seem a bit more vindicated.

I think this is the kind of thing we should get from VIP/Premium Service, not crap like commerce penalty relief that should really not be a paid-only feature.

- You can use all Combo Cards for free within the account. Expired Combo Cards can be activated as well.
- Expiray date of Combo Cards is consumed after Premium Service ends.

I'm not sure what the first one means. Just get to have any combo card in existence for free? Gold ones only? Either way I would really hate that idea and don't want it in NA.

But the expired combo cards being temporarily resumed during Premium/VIP sounds like a good idea that I'd support.

4. Nao's Birthday Present method changes
- You receive 'Nao's Birthday Gift Box (Untradeable)' when you log in on your character's birthday.
- When you open the box, you choose which accessory you want instead of a random accessory.
- For 20 Year Old's birthday accessory, it is randomly awarded.

Sounds like a nice change, maybe I'd actually try working on that one book if it were like that.

Quote from Rixx;1267580:

2. Free Style Tab
- Can use Style Tab for free for all characters in account.
- Expiray date will pause during Premium Plus Pack service duration.

So they're getting the free style tab but not the unlimited continent warp? Well I guess that moongate change is nice, if you can use it even without an item in your inventory.

3. Direct Dye Ampoule Box awarded upon purchase of Premium Plus Pack
- Upon using Direct Dye Ampoule Box, you receive Direct Dye Ampoule and and Direct Metal Dye Ampoule.
Dye Box is untradeable, however Direct Dye/Metal Dye Ampoules are tradeable.
- Regular Metal/Dye Ampoules have 5 spoids, however Direct Dyes only have a single spoid.
- You receive 1 box for 30 days, 2 boxes for 60 days and 3 boxes for 90 days.
- For existing Premium Plus Pack customers, Dye Boxes will be awarded depending on leftover date.
1~30 days = 1, 31~60 days = 2, etc.

So long as this remains the ONLY source ever I'd be fine, no event/gachapons releases Nexon.

I probably still wouldn't get Premium/VIP, even if we have all the advantages of both KR's and NA's Premium/VIP in one, but I can see buying Premium/VIP be less useless now.

No she means NA got those waffle cone clothing without the wigs, and they were meant to come with the wigs. At least they do in that server, doesn't mean any other server has to follow the same rules.
