8th Age a $70 Value?

Thradia · 13th September 2005, 12:50 PM

This was found on the Gamestop website. The release date for this box is set to October 10th, 2005 and is selling for $19.99 US.

But what is it that we see in the corner of the box...

A $70 value? What could be in this box that makes it so special?

I guess we'll have to wait for more info to be released before we know...

I have to add...I love the box

Nice art, for sure

I bet it's some kinda game code, or advanced character codes.

Lady Destiny LS · 13th September 2005, 01:11 PM

I am guessing a set of codes, one advanced, one characotr transfer and one name change, with maybe a little luck, a sixth charactor slot again

Ohh how about *character sex change token*
*spaz*
I really hope they don't come out with that. I will end up spending all my uo gold and steal my ole man's closed account.

Original post updated to reflect the most recent changes..

Still no word on what the items are that they want tested on TC though.

**Ally** · 13th September 2005, 03:21 PM

Ooh a 6th char slot and advanced char... I like those.

Epona · 13th September 2005, 03:23 PM

sixth character slot again? wtf? I already paid for my three accounts to have a sixth character slot so why do I want another 3??

I do like the advanced char code though....but ive used up all my character slots - ive got six on each account....I guess I could create a char somewhere else or just sell it.

I just looked they added more stuff...

---------

Bonus Offer! - Buy your copy of Ultima Online: The Eighth Age NOW, and your in-box gift code will give you a rare Blue Soulstone! (Your UO: Eighth Age Upgrade Code, printed on the back of the manual, is also your gift code.)

* A Soulstone will allow you to store skill points in a specific skill. You can transfer those points to another character on your account, or you can save them for later use. This allows you to re-configure your character without losing skill points that you worked hard to get.

* 8th Anniversary Gifts! --Get one of 8 new in-game anniversary gifts, everything from powerful armor pieces, an enchanted talisman or unique house décor items.

------------------------

I tried checking EBGames too, to see if they say the same stuff, they don't have the soulstones and the 8th anniv gifts yet...
