Comment by Qustav a 25% price increase across the board? Comment by christianjlo well, there goes the market... Comment by Wishblade Glad I've already taken care of all my immediate service purchases, even if it was a while ago. :P Comment by Nevcairiel a 25% price increase across the board?\r

Since the last change of these prices (or even their introduction), the USD\/EUR exchange rate has tanked quite a bit, so I'm surprised it took them this long to adjust them.\r
They mostly match the USD prices in value now, and considering they still have to pay taxes in the EU on those that the US often doesn't have (VAT), its really quite expected. Comment by Artio Prices seem to be adjusted to the recent dollar - euro exchange rates.\r
The euro became a bit less worthy so the dollar increased compared to the euro.\r
\r
The change was to be expected. Although the wait for the change makes it a huge price increase so all of the sudden... Comment by Dickdasboot If anything they should decrease the prices. Might make someone use them more. Just saying. Comment by Kaesekuchen a 25% price increase across the board?\r

FFXIV offers similar services, or in terms of char transfer even better, for signficantly lower prices.\r
FFXIVs newest expansion will also cost only 45\u20ac for the digital deluxe edition, vs. 60\u20ac that legion did cost.\r
\r
Heck, given the current raiding situation of raids disbanding left and right, that'll likely push a lot of people to quit, why pay more for an uncertain future, when you just can spend your money elsewhere.\r
\r
It's very likely that the price increase will cause more people to quit, compared to whatever money they get back with the increase. Comment by 1f1n1ty best buy what you need before April then. gg Comment by OrferVan Current raiding situation?\r
Excuse me but mythic raiders are like 1% of the playerbase.Apart from them noone really has a problem. Comment by Boneclaw This is absolutely stupid. They are already overpriced as it is. Increasing it even further is just... I don't even know anymore tbh. Even card pack increase in HS was dumb too. Comment by olehenrikj I understand that they want to keep the prices similar around the world. But increasing it? Now that's retarded. Comment by Feelthechill \u00a39 for name change which you can do for free once a month xD Comment by ahunter8056 This is a complete joke. Blizzard's prices were already crazily overpriced as it is. Now the money-grabbing *ahem*... idiots think their prices aren't overpriced enough? They just don't know when to stop. \u00a32 would be an appropriate amount for any of these services, such as name change or race change. But \u00a320 to change a character's race? What the hell? Comment by quiztic \u00a39 for name change which you can do for free once a month xD\r
\r
you can? how? Comment by Steamhammer soooo is there a reason everything is more expensive for UK then US? Comment by Zanzari Time to spend money on things I never considered buying untill now just in case... Comment by bexy1990 These prices are extortionate to begin with, for a game losing subs and passed its peak, Is increasing the prices that current players are paying the right thing to do? Regardless of the exchange rate changing, the prices are getting silly. I've always loved Wow and one of the things I loved most amout it was mount\/pet collecting. The game is starting to get tired and old and you can't justify paying almost \u00a320 for a mount these days. People aren't made of money either, they already upped the monthly sub for the people they still have not so long ago. Comment by rehlyihmah If anything they should decrease the prices. Might make someone use them more. Just saying.\r

If a transfer was 10\u20ac, I would switch servers with ~8 characters over 2-3 months so it's not too much at once. 25\u20ac for one character however is too much for one single digital thing. it would be 200\u20ac for my fave characters! No way. So instead of making 80\u20ac, they make nothing. I wonder just how many people are put off by 20-25\u20ac and would actually use this service if the pricing was reasonable. Comment by Tofke Wth... it was already overpriced.
The reason why I haven't made use of them even though I'd like to use a few of their services... but the value they put on those are soooo far away from my ideas what they should cost. Comment by natyarafdn Service prices are so overpriced already and they want to increase it? This is stupid.
