Q:
Question On Digital Deluxe Sale
A:
You’re right, this offer is for new account holders. The offer allows folks to get the DDU for the cost of the Standard Edition for this weekend. The Black Lion Trading Company’s Black Friday offers are also for a limited time and are designed to let players get goodies at substantially reduced prices got this holiday weekend, as well. Both offers expire on Monday, November 26th.
Oh, please do keep in mind that you can earn an upgrade simply through playing the game and gaining gems that you exchange for the upgrade in the BLTC.

Ya, is there a way to update to deluxe when you already have the game without buying the game again? Since its a free upgrade right now ?
I checked in game, still 2,000 Gems (about 25$) for the upgrade to digital deluxe in-game. If it was on sale for like 400 or 500, I would probably do it in a heart beat.
Can we possibly have some feedback on this inquiry? I got the game this week and loving it so far, but it still feels a little disappointing that if only I had waited 2 more days I could’ve gotten Deluxe online for same price.
I recently purchased (with cash not gems) the upgrade to digital deluxe and overwrote my old account and haven’t received my items or anything. Is there is a back log or something ?

Well tough luck.
Back log on the items not me rolling back the account.
This is definitely something I’d jump on if it were offered, as it stands I’d have to buy a brand new game in order to take advantage.
The Black Friday sale is good for new accounts but is not too useful for those that have the standard standard. I did not see a sale on the upgrade, which would be nice. How about showing a little love to those that have been with you since the “pre-order” days.
Thanks.
But we got some nice things: 3 days head-start, a nice Hero’s Band ánd a free nice looking Celebration Hat
…….
NEVER
Ooops, missed that one. Yeah, I wasn’t asking/expecting a free upgrade, but an update at a discounted price would be nice.
I did forget about that nice hat, but I considered that payment for helping to test during the beta weekends.
I just bought a retail version of the game 2 days ago. Do I qualify for the upgrade?
No. The sale is for purchase from their website. It requires the purchase of a new account.
where were we supposed to get the hat???
You can find the info about the Celebration Hat here. It was announced on several places
I’ve merged a few posts about the same subject. The Black Friday promotions were intended to run only during the promotional period, and cannot be extended to prior purchases. For more info, please read my earlier post.
There will be other promotions in the future, I’m sure, so keep your eyes on the official website for news about those.
