Origin


30% off at Origin Store.

Maybe someone could check to see if works on UO items?

You could have saved us the trouble by just saying it doesn't work for UO items.

but hey, it does say "30% off Storewide", now.... isn't that false advertising?

Yeah normally I check that out but stopped once they asked for my credit card info before the code.

Sorry!

Could at least discount the expansions

The select partner titles BS will screw us every time. EA has forgotten that UO isn't a "partner title," but an IP they own.

My guess is EA is too lazy/incompetent to ensure they keep enough of a supply of codes for UO stuff. So they simply don't put it up for sale, thus won't me made to look the fool...as happened a few years ago when they ran out of codes - three sales in a row.

Either way, it sucks for us and us and is just another nail in UO's already-moldering coffin. If I were @Mesanna, I'd be raising hell about this yet again.

More likely that UO stuff sells frequently at it's current price so no need to discount.

That's not how sales work.

That's how profits work though hehe

The things which would be eligible for a sale (expansions/boosters) are pure profit at this point. 100% gravy to EA, a corporation which doesn't even acknowledge UO as one of its products.
