Any chance for a discount on Winter Packs for Black Friday?

My biggest regret is not liquidating everything to buy as many 10M Winter Packs as possible.

Does this mean open/same alignment pvp in front of and within stores in the various zones? Gotta get that "Tickle Me Manticore doll!" 😄

Yup, I bought several across multiple characters, but was under the delusion that Winter Packs discount might be an annual thing for XMas. 

 

I basically just buy Winter IOs with Reward Merits now.

I have a clear memory of the sale. 
The first year it was 10M. The 2nd year it was 15M, and the message that we'd better enjoy it because they weren't doing it again. At least, that's how I remember it. But, I am older. I would bet some inf on it, but not my whole stack. 

I think they got peeved that some players, instead of opening the packs, just relisted them when the sale was over for profit. But I never really did get a "Why". 
Either way, I STILL have packs I've yet to open. Might never get around to it. And that's fine.

Winter Event Price for Winter Packs

2019 - 10,000,000

2020 - 10,000,000

2021 - 15,000,000

2022 - 15,000,000

2023 to Now - 25,000,000

 

Reason for this? Too much staff work to set the seed price. 

 

And when this finally concluded? As Telephone said on the Homecoming Discord originally in 2021:

 

And a Homecoming forum announcement to coincide with the above post.

Hah, I guess I forgot the year 2019! There's a real chance I wasn't paying enough attention the first year. I probably didn't have enough inf at that point to buy one, let alone a lot of them.
