I know half of us veteran players would buy every hat available if you made 50 new hats for $1 each only in the store.


We always felt some store items were a tad pricey. This would be a great thread for the community to discuss at what prices they would have and would not have bought certain things.

It would also be worth it to hear at what price would be too cheap where even if you did not buy something you would feel upset that somebody who did had access on a 'store' got too much for too little. I am assuming there are loyal players who for their own reasons have no intentions of using a store but still have input on what their fellow salemites should be able to get for their money.

I'm a loyal Salem fan who for my own reasons does not use the store. I'd like the store to stay away from pay to win.

IMO silver is way too expensive.
1000 silver for 10$ would be more realistic.. Last time I checked silver wasn't really a big issue due argopelter farming.
Mystery box price is OK. Founding Father's pack should be around 40$ and smaller packs (adventurer's, pioneer's and fisherman's) around 10$. Redcoat around 20$.

So would we. Salem is a bit of a funny game to define in terms of 'win' conditions though. I would love to hear where you draw the win line. So far all we know so far is we do not want to sell anything that will give direct combat advantages or have a direct influence on the outcome of a siege. What else does the community find unacceptable?

I shoudn't decrease the prices so much, perhaps silver quite a bit the other stuff seems just about right.

I think store bought items should return to the original owner when a character is killed. Lol that would be so funny! Darwoth would maybe quit killing us all!!

I personally found silver to be a larger issue this world with the argo-nerf. argo trophy is now only 125 which really did make it a big difference in the economy imo.

Hence the "last time I cheked" ;)
Still quite profitable business I'd say.

It remains our #1 source of silver, however silver is a ***** nowadays. Mostly you are better of selling your olied boards instead of hunting.
