To be clear there is only ONE owner of the Dragonlance and Lord Soth IP, that is WOTC.
Everyone who worked on the IP orginally, including Margaret Weis, Tracy and Laura Hickman, Douglas Niles, the artists Larry Elmore and Keith Parkinson, amongst many others were employees of TSR and do not own the IP in any shape what so ever. Margaret and Tracy have licensed the property from WOTC to write the latest novels, which I recommend.

I posted this on discord but forgot to post it over on the forums. Here is the cloak on its own:Thank you for going the extra mile rabidfox I thought that was part of the cloak from the original images.

Well said.
Gating additional storage behind an absurdly expensive cosmetics pack guarantees they will never get a cent for these coffers from me. And it's money they could have had by selling the storage alone at a more reasonable price.
Let people who want to pay for cosmetics pay for those, and let the rest of us just buy the bank space. People who want both can buy both. It's just a huge missed sales opportunity.
This goes towards the larger problem of SSG not being a company that is easy to like. Their pricing strategy for some of their products is so divorced from providing value to their customers it's verging on grift. I would like to be able to like SSG, but whenever they do something like this, releasing overpriced patron coffers, it's just a very stark reminder of the fact that they view us as marks to be fleeced, not as valued customers.
And customers voting with their wallets against this toxic relationship is going to cost them far more in sales over the long term than they will ever make through selling products like this one.

Would it be possible to add a note to the next coffer offer (if there is personal bank space available) that if you have a preference on which character gets the additional slots, to be certain to purchase the slots on that account? I keep forgetting that.
Or, make the slots addition a BTA token, then we can move it how we want.

I thought you had to go to the Patron to get the additional character bank slots? Have they changed that for this one?

You are right, it's Patron activated for the character slots.

Ya know...maybe the people at Standing Stone Games are onto something here.
It seems like a lot of players really like this Lord Soth dude. Maybe it makes sense to release a whole series of cosmetic bundles based on really famous characters from Dungeons & Dragons books and stuff.

Exactly how much shared account storage does the Greater Echoes of the Black Rose give? Is it 10, like the DDO Store seems to indicate by not mentioning any increase over base version, or 20 like it is stated here?
The base version gives 10 shared account slots. The link says that Greater gives "10 additional Black Rose Account Bank Storage Space (for a total of 20)." which is not mentioned in DDO Store. Instead the DDO Store says that the Superior gives "...20 additional slots of account bank storage..." This seems contradictory so which is it, has anyone purchased it?

What are the latest novels?
Yet more cosmetic items that I have no interest in what so ever and would take up precious bank space to store them. The only aspect of the coffers that I have any interest in is the bank space, but there is no way in this world that I would spend the types of money wanted to obtain them. Make a sensible banking solution at a reasonable price and I'll happily open my wallet - at present it is welded shut and that included the cosmetic heavy Myth Drannor expansion.

You don't have to bank them. Use them, toss them, collect new versions from the vendor...
Cordovan's link to the descriptions of coffer contents states:
However, this does not seem to work properly. I bought this but got only 10 shared bank slots. Filed a ticket 3-4 days ago but no reaction.
What can I do?
No bad will be intended, but I am tired, and here is my complaint.
Here is your in-game Text:

I see a few big problems, and this time, I refuse to buy this offer because it does not make any sense. I would buy it in the game, and I want to understand what I am about to purchase.
1. I should not have to go to the previous offer to understand what this offer offers ME; by just reading this, I should understand what I am getting in full!
2. Reading this, I do not understand what and how many bank spaces I get. I should not pull out my calculator to figure out if I am getting 20 or 30 bank spaces! Also, going to the website, I read that I should be getting 50 bank storage spaces in 30+20, lol.
3. What type of bank spaces do I get? "20 additional slots of account bank storage for a total of 30!" Are those shared or character bank spaces? We have 2 official bank spaces; please specify. I am not playing a word game.
You are trying to charge me 80 dollars for this offer, but you can not even explain properly what you are trying to sell me and what exactly I am in standard easy to read format; so sorry, but no, I won't buy if I can not understand what you are trying to sell me and what exactly I am getting. And no, I won't go back and read other offers to figure out exactly what I am getting. This is not my job. I am asked to pay $80, and I want a very clear description of what I will buy with proper terminology from the game.
