I've just noticed a new gem offer from SP....the usual 1700 gems for $49.99.. has now changed to 2550 gems for 99.99 ... basically a 25% hike in gem pricing for the top offer.
Has anyone else seen this offer... I'm hoping this isn't the new norm.......

I'm guessing it's a way to get us all to buy gems when it goes back too 1700 for .49.99 ... because we will be so thankful.....

Anyway, was wondering if other folks had seen this offer and if it's being deployed other other currencies too.....

Yep, I see the same. Maybe two weeks ago I saw in game message about "price adjustments" after which VIP price went up from 19,99 to 21,99 for non ranked monster. Maybe now it came to gem price.

I noticed this earlier.

I was waiting for the gems to come on sale so I could buy Bo Tai.

Then I noticed the pricing structure.

What they've done is add some gems to the existing price (to make us be happy that we're getting some extra 'free'), rather than halve the price of the gems.

What this means is that we get 400-500 gems less for £49.99

I am just about done with this game now.

@Swag These sales happen every few months the normal sales will return as a 2 hour sale today, they always have

@annihilator When today?

@annihilator
Hope your right... I've been playing the game for quite some time now and have never seen an offer like this.... anyway.. fingers crossed SP haven't increased gem pricing by 25%

They have increased prices by 10% for most non-american players it seems.
Euro conversion got 10% worse, and is now 20% above a fair rate (1 dollar is 90 euro-cents, but we have to pay 110 euro-cents).

And yes, I decided not to buy another pack of diamonds because of that. Because whenever the game developers get greedy this usually spells trouble for a game.

Today sale gives 50% more gems on the top package, instead of a 50% lower price on said package. This is a very significant increase on an already absurdly high price. Disgusting.

@Axel-Bjelland

I'm seeing the same..... that's a 25% increase ... pretty substantial..

Let's hope they are just trying this out ... and will revert back to the original pricing...

And I tend to agree, when a game starts hiking the cost 2 play substantially ..it normally doesn't end well....

if they dont change it, i won't even be surprised. People from top teams will do anything to buy gems, no matter how much it costs. This game means their life for them.

Today alls right with the world .... Gem pricing has returned to the low low price of 1700 for 49.99....
I almost feel compelled to buy some... racing through my mind is thoughts of massive gem hikes in the future... wouldn't it be sensible to stock up now....

Instead I'll just make some coffee and see if I can snag 100 gems in growth spurt....

I think they just came to their senses, no need to stock up.

From time to time SP test this price increase , no one buy , then it return to normal No worry when you see it
