    Daily deal for this coming Monday! Founder's helm!

    In all seriousness, I must agree, discontinued items should mean discontinued. It's not "unfair" to new members, it's how a lot of things in real life are.

    Yes! I wear my founders helm and my green antennas and people go crazy asking me where I got it. I HAD that attention with the reds but now it's something everyone can purchase...

    That's the thing though. As far as I know, time machines don't exist. People wish that they could have bought Apple stock back when it was 70 dollars. Did the price reverse back to favor those who missed out on that opportunity? Pretty sure it didn't.

    The only vanity helmet(s) to ever have value were the Founder's Helm and the Big Luck Vanity. As far as I know, the red antenna provides no bonuses whatsoever. If they do consider bringing it, at least price it to 100+ platinum to minimize the amount of players that are able to get it.

    I haven't played too many MMORPGs, but are there any that repeat holiday items? If so, then there is a precedent (whether it's kept or not is another matter) so it's not a big leap for PL to have repeat items for Halloween, the winter, etc and so repeated items wouldn't be a big surprise. If not, then there's also nothing to be surprised about. [and I acknowledge that PL doesn't have its own precedent because holidays haven't come around again] As for me, I'm hoping for new items every year but I can understand wanting a as-of-now discontinued item

    I don't want to argue with you guardian keep the peace.

    Well at this point the devs have developed a machine apollo, and they are bringing them back with or without your approval. Were not talking about prices, but the availablity of the items. I thought you were a guardian? Why dont you want new players to collect? Why such greed and hostility?

    Well apollo, if you don't feel like supporting sts, I will, since you have all the items.... Sam bring back all the old items ill be happy to pay for them snowman head, Halloween And anything I might have missed. Newer pl and sl players appreciate all what you have done......thx again.

    yes, i agree tho 100plat is a little high... and if they bring back Big Love and Big Luck back to their respective holidays next year, they should be 75plat or more...

    All this rage over deal of the day. I don't mind if they bring back the vanity items. It's their way of making money. I have been playing PL from the start and have a founders helm. It is nice that they offer a opportunity for you to get a one time event item. One day you too will not have an item and the deal of the day will ensure that you have another opportunity. Maybe bring back founders or rename it just so that it makes sense. And just maybe they will also bring back the Droid costume that you all desire. Who knows? But most of you should know games try to recycle older items so that they can bring newer players into the flow of the game.

    But it's a game, not real life. I have bought a few of the deals because I like to collect items. I love the opportunity at these items! Deal of the Day is great!

    I can see it from both sides since I am by no means a collector, but have been here since the beginning. I have 2 vanity items and they were both awarded by STS. I didn't have to do any work, just log in and check my stash (I didn't even have to wave). So I get that it's an opportunity for those that missed it the first time around to get it again, but it's by no means a deal. From one aspect the oldies want the item to remain a onetime thing. Can we compromise and have the items changed ever so slightly so that it doesn't ruin the "specialness" of their initial purchase? A modification to the description should be enough right? For instance the red antenna would no longer say "You were there" because you weren't there. The only problem I see with that is the OCD collectors out there may then regard that as a different vanity item and have to purchase it as well (*hint hint* adds fuel to the STS profit machine). Perhaps all vanity items that are purchased through daily deals should read "Second chance vanity item" or even remove the item description completely. Will that satisfy everyone?

    A separate suggestion is that perhaps there should be two deal categories, a daily deal that is actually a deal on an item that is available for purchase daily (elixirs, in store vanity, plat only gear) and another daily called “Blast from the past” where special vanity/holiday items that are now removed from the game are available again. We have to bridge this gap somehow, as only those lucky enough to have found out about the game before the popularity came had access to many specialty items, time to share the opportunity.

    My only issue is the price, between 50-75 plat each. Even with the best deal that's $2.25-$3.50 (rounded up) each item, where exactly does the deal part factor into this equation? So all of those out there who don’t think that the new players deserve the same items that you had a shot at, don’t pretend they aren’t paying a hefty price.

    Wow...i hope STS is coming out with some new exclusive items cuz this is outrageous. Antennas were supposed to be for players who were at the event or obtained them when they were available. IMO, bringing them back, not a good idea.

    I just hope these so called "exclusive" items stay that way. The new players will have their time to get their exclusive item just like we did.

    Not flaming, just sayin....

    Hate to double post...but man theres a lotta hate in this here post. Parthidy never said he didnt support STS, nor did he say he didnt want new players to have a chance. But the big thing here thay struck me is why you said "...i thought you were a GOA...." Parth is a GOA and always will be. He earned his spot in the guardians and should never have anybody saying why he is one. And for as long as ive known Parth, he is far from being greedy.

    Im not trying to make you feel bad or anything, but dont doubt anothers opinion. You may not agree with Parth, but you don't need to doubt his guardianship.
