or could be preparation for April 1

THIS is going to cuase some ....debate :-)

People will have different perspectives but personally I wouldn't be 
much interested since I already have more than enough, I just used SOR 
to get an 80 because I had no healers but there is already much much 
much more to do than I can do in the time even at 90.

IF I found a crying need for a character I would be thinking $250 for 
the time 'saved' so $100 would be good and $60 very tempting
IF

Then $100 to insta level a profession. IF

$60 is priced to actually get more people in rather than gouge, just 
short circuits the grind  but I don't think it will be tempting to new 
players. Maybe in addition to a new sub which starts at 50 with a DK you 
get a free 90 when the DK reaches 90...or something.

The same range as RAF if you want to multibox.

But - it is a GAME, thoeretically you play for fun rather than 
investment, but then there is the 'are we there yet' given the age of 
the game and xpacs..

it isn't really like 'hmm I have an arc and a Mig and a Tig and a 
portable arc welder and an oxycutter but I could really use a plasma 
cutter....so smooth , so techno   droool'

okay maybe it is a little bit like that, you can see where my attention 
is right now :-)
