A while back Carbine started a mystery box promo to try and accomplish two things:
- Get new players to jump into Nexus.
- Move retail stock off the shelves, so with the F2P conversion, they didn’t have to buy back stock from retailers.
Currently GameStop is selling WildStar for $9.99 a box… that gets you 30 days subscription time + the random goody box from the promo. For those doing the math.. that means the box is $5.00 cheaper than the monthly subscription plus gives you a shot at in game goodies that are selling for 50-80 plat on Entity (US). Which, in turn, is enough Platinum to buy CREDD, to extend your game time another thirty days.
I may have bought most of the stock from ALL the GameStops in my area (I tried Wal-Mart.. but they wouldn’t price match on this deal).
It may be time for my family to stage an intervention:
I don’t have a problem! You have a Problem!
I should get all three promo items for sure though now… right??? maybe?
Edit: Tally after adding 10 Codes.. both accounts are paid through December now… and I have:
3 GlitterKitty Hoverboards, 5 Snarfelynx mounts, and 2 Marauder costume sets. So, both accounts will get 1 Character with everything (to get the title)… and I’ll probably sell the rest. Hopefully, Carbine is making these rewards account bound with Drop 6.. so I don’t regret using them all on the same character to unlock the title.
