Everything UO related is %30 off at Origin store right now

[Demethar]

UO codes are on sale at EA Origin store. I think its a flat %30 discount on all items. Stockpile stuff while it lasts.

 

[S_S]

Umm, I didn't see anything on sale?

 

[OREOGL]

Umm, I didn't see anything on sale?

Me either.

 

[Demethar]

Maybe it is a regional promotion. I see a thirty percent flat discount on everything. Perhaps those from Europa could make use of it. In that case, use of VPN could make it available to you as well.

 

[Demethar]

I decided to post more details about it. The promotion is called Holiday Sale and will last until 12th of January. Every item is subject to discount "only once".

Official EA text below. Sorry about wall of text, I suppose EA likes to yell at customers.

I see no discount. Whats the code?

 

[King Greg]

Anddd origin runs out of UO Codes in 3... 2.... 1....

 

[Demethar]

I see no discount. Whats the code?

It's the Holiday Sale. It doesn't show in current deals. I received 30 percent discount on my first purchase, then subscribed Origin Access and percentace raised to %37. I tested this with 1 month code and it worked. So I plan on stocking up a few 6-month codes and some 5000 pt sovereign packages.

 

[borgi]

thank you!!
buy it on origin store ( taiwan )
+Origin Access and percentace raised to %37
6-month codes NT$1290 => NT$812

 

[Demethar]

That's a great value isn't it. I wonder if this happens every year.

 

[ShriNayne]

Hmmm it's all a bit odd, when I first got to the site there was no sale and everything was in dollars not pounds. I refreshed the page and it all changed to pounds and everything had 30% off. I am tempted by the 6 month game-time code, but my account is paid up until March 16th already. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a mistake and the whole thing vanishes within a few hours, I've never seen anything UO on sale at Origin deliberately.

 

[Finley Grant]

Works

 

[Lord Frodo]

Holiday Sale does not work in the US. Must be a European thing

 

[MalagAste]

Must be because I don't see ANYTHING on sale.

 

[Finley Grant]

And gone. They remove it

 

[ShriNayne]

Wow that was fast even for them! I knew it was too good to be true...

 

[OREOGL]

Any Origin sale for UO is a running joke.

You dare not speak publicly about it because they take it down faster than you can blink.

I've been waiting in sale to grab a few things but I don't expect this to happen unless it's an error on their part.

Until then I'll just hold onto my money since they don't seem to want it.

 

[Demethar]

Well, this is a shame really. I even got Origin Access and then my credit card gave an error. By the time I returned, UO items were purged from Holiday Sale. I guess I will hold onto my money just like Oreogl.

 

[GarthGrey]

The in game store is down, what a joke of a system.

 

[Keith of Sonoma]

Does anybody else get the feeling that, unfortunately, UO is "on its last leg"?

Nope, but people have been saying that every year since 2002 hehe

 

[Lord Frodo]

Nope, but people have been saying that every year since 1999 hehe

Fixed

I really hope it's not, but it just seems to me that more and more "stuff" isn't working as it should, and doesn't get "fixed".

 

[Dot_Warner]

At least someone, somewhere got monies off UO products...

 

[petemage]

Well, with the $ almost being on par with the €, I guess US players could always save a fair 25% if they only got access to the EU store. IIRC its $60 in the US while only 46€ over here. I mean I could resell those for $55 and still make a profit I also wonder if there are regions where it is even cheaper.

 

[cobb]

Usually when there is a sale on Origin, UO items are mysteriously out of stock.

So after TAX/VAT what do you pay?
