Subject: 150 Station Cash has been granted to your Station Account


Dear Valued Player,

Based on feedback we have received from various player surveys, we are thrilled to present Station Cash™. As part of our ongoing efforts to respond to our players’ requests as we continue to evolve the EverQuest® franchise.

Station Cash is a new virtual currency from SOE that has been created to allow for the purchase of premium in-game items within EverQuest and EverQuest® II.

As a faithful subscriber we want you to be among the first to enjoy this amazing new game enhancement. With that in mind, we are funding your in-game wallet with 150SC so that you can jump right in and experience item sales now.

To get started, all you need to do is simply access the “Marketplace” from the “Main Menu” within the game. You will be able to select items to purchase or click on the “Add Funds” button to purchase more Station Cash to fund your wallet.

For more information on Station Cash (including the applicable terms and conditions) and to see a sample of items currently available for purchase, go to the Station Cash Web page at: http://www.station.sony.com/stationcash/.

Thank you for your continued support of the EverQuest franchise, and enjoy in-game shopping with your free Station Cash!

Sincerely,
Sony Online Entertainment



I am suprised it took them this long.

Haven't people been able to buy in-game items w/ RL money for a while now? You could buy pre-leveled characters IIRC, right?

Crazy stuff though.

I seem to remember when the "Station" first came out (think primarily for EQ2), it was limited to only certain servers. Is it for all servers now, both in EQ and EQ2?

Not that I'm really that interested. Just being curious! :blob8:

Yes all servers now.

I hate it. Hopefully this will make me quit.

I think it's sad that a company like SOE begins developing ideas outside of their game to make money. I don't know if this is a poor attempt to spark the playbase, maintain current users, or squeeze their financial margins.

Regardless, I would rather see a Classic Sever and 4.99 or 6.99 subs. I think they would double their playerbase.

Or something like $10 per month, or 2 accounts for $15 because basically no one who plays anymore only has one account.

From the example they show on their site, it looks like the items are +XX% experience consumables or appearence items. I'll log in later and see if there is anything better.
