Tortoiseshell Sweep.3265 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Any news on whether we'll be getting a 20% gem sale in UK? I'd like to buy some stuff but holding on for news of a sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linken.6345 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 England is not part of Eu anymore so they might need a separate gem sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joote.4081 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yeah dead right. I have been a loyal customer from the very start and deserve to be included in any offers available. It's not fair to exclude people because of their location in the world. You sold the game to us in the UK, you take our money for gems from the UK. Where is our reward A-Net? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was EU sale as in Europe, not Union Edited May 23, 2021 by Jin.8501 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blude.6812 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 They skipped Canada too. It seems to me most sales (and contest) like this one are consistently geared to US. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when switching to GBP, and paying with PayPal. So I doubt we will get a uk only sale as a result, when they do it by regions and the server is the EU one for the uk.

Danikat.8537 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I was able to buy gems at the discounted price during the sale too, and I'm in the UK. There were a lot of problems with the sale though, I know some sites were apparently only selling a fixed number of gem codes at the discounted price and when those ran out they went back to selling them at full price so maybe that's what happened?

Ok, fair enough then. It didn't work for me sadly. I went to gamecardsdirect and added the card to my basket at 40 EUR, and when I went to pay it changed it to 40 GBP. That's about 5% less than the normal 42.50 GBP on the gemstore, so I guessed it was probably a favourable currency rate or something. With a 1.5% card transaction fee, it wasn't really worth it (I didn't see a paypal option). Having gone back to have a look today, it appears they normally sell them at 50 GBP so I guess it was a 20% discount, but when the normal price is a 15% markup it's not that great really. I don't have much experience of buying stuff online in other currencies so I guess I must have missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
