Platinum prices increased over 10% in Canada
These are the original prices, which the US players still have showing:
I believe this is new today, since I looked yesterday and didn't notice that it had been changed. Increased prices now showing in Canada:
Could we please have an explanation for this?

Aw that sucks. Prices here in NZ are the same, if that helps.
maybe the USD to Canada Dollars (not sure if that is the correct term..) exchange rate changed?
Although I should note, the NZ dollar is very strong at the moment, so in real terms each NZ dollar has more buying power; perhaps this is why there hasn't been a price increase for us.Originally Posted by carmine_blade
Exchange rates have never affected plat prices in the past.

I cant even buy any plat on mine so can't check if they have increased the price on UK pounds

Exactly, When I first bought plats, I was expecting to pay 89,99 $CA but I payed 100$. The 10$ difference is not exactly scaled up with the US/CA dollar value differences..
Yeah it's exchange rates, right now 1 USD is equal to 1.22$ CAD
Edit: so it makes sense for it to "cost more" in Canada, the values are still the same.

Here in Belgium the price of plats have been increased aswell, Before we payed like 80+- euros for 1700 pack
Now we are hittin almost 100euros for the 1700 pack
Why on earth did they increased??
Come on..
EDIT: If you increase the price increase the amount of plats aswell

This is a mystery because 1 euro is actually 1.08 USD which should mean that the price in Euro should actually be lower, but it is not.
That is not the reason for it though. The listed prices have been equal for the last 2 1/2 years. We also get 12% tax added onto the listed price when we buy. I understand raising prices of merchandise over time, but to raise virtual coin prices over 10% with no notice given and for only "some" locations just feels off.
Especially when the entire game is starting to require gambling to have any success. If we were certain to get quality items for our money, it may be acceptable, but to increase the price of gambling like this? It would have been annoying enough if we had been warned about it, but to slide it in hoping we wouldn't notice is disappointing.

So true it hurts.
Past few weekends we've been sucking down pet crates, each with a new pet in the box as an incentive to open more. Then we have a double odds on mythics and arcanes, and now crates are half off.
If you're not buyin plat in some form or fashion you're dead in the water. I've been playing less and less each week, and it's not just cause there's nothing to do, I just can't afford to enjoy the game like they expect me to.

I think this is what you called a ripping off, or just sts getting revenge because of the plat farmer's?
The price for platinum is already higher than in-game currency in any other game I have seen, for the amount you get. Some information from STS would be appreciated.

Same here but we use Euros oddly enough we pay 11 more euros for a 1700 plat... I mean wth happened?
Obvious answer, its milking season! Remember when sts milked pl by getting people to buy tons of combo elixers to go from 76 to 77? Same type of thing, but a different situation. They're probably just hoping none of the players notice, or just keep buying.
in my country (Dominican Republic) we had that price for plat since a year ago
1 dollar= 44.89 pesos
Plat prices did go up here during the last plat sale (not by a lot, but still). When I emailed support, they said it must've been because of the exchange rate.
Although with the exchange rate i don't think it could rise 10/11 more euros/dollars...I don't understand much of exchange rates but if anyone does can you please calculate if it is really from the exchange rate?
Actually I find that my prices have increased too... '
