i am sorry to burst everyone's bubble but they will never rerelease it as they are just to lazy to do anything that requires work.

One could argue coming up with new promotion instead of re-releasing old one (with guaranteed high profits in key sales) requires more work but allrighty then.


This did not age well.


Till they're re-released, wont believe it. They have a thing about saying they'll do something then not delivering

The oddments store rework is a very real thing, and this project as a whole isn't really tons of Dev work.

I don't see any reason why it won't be done. :)

I'm in favour, just can't really take their word for it at face value

Let's make sure then, as community that they stick to their words. :)
I am sure they will.

6 years ago mod kayla said if theres demand for a token they would bring it back but that was abandoned. This time they will likely add all walks to oddment store. question should be oddment cost and when will they come. :) I need my blue charms back.

I think it will be more than just walks, all these 'gem token" BS will be and should be done too.

Will be interesting to see what happens with prices though... They announced the cat items being introduced into oddment store, they crashed and then rebounded back to their original manipped price.

Obviously, these walks and gem (if those are reintroduced) are over max cash but for some of the gem items, the people holding onto them could still keep those out of the ge if they wished to. There'd still be a whale that'd come along once in a blue moon paying those ridiculous prices just 'cause they don't want to buy 200 diff bonds via the terrible ge system for bonds to gain enough oddments for these tokens.

That does raise another point. Do bonds start hitting 30m+ every time loot duels comes around because this current promo running is insanely good for consistent oddments.

I'm very much against the manip of any item but curious to see how all of this pans out, especially what happens to bond prices as a result during specific promos, if anything at all. Could be an interesting ride, regardless of your investment or stance around tokens.

They will likely see how positive a response they get from the community before reintroducing. Things like seasons and yak tracks probably wont cause they would make more money putting them back on th or doing an event in the future

Regardless, I've essentially exited the market since this announcement made me lose complete interest. It was inevitable though tbh surprised it took them so long to confirm something like this

Seasons is discontinued and rereleasing it would make them no money. Adding high value tokens for high oddment cost would. Edit Not sure if ur talking seasons items or seasonal events.

Once we know the oddment costs, you can sort of predict what the GE value of the tokens will be - if one walk is say, 20k oddments, all you gotta do is work out the average oddments you gain per key on a certain promo (can be easily done), then multiple by the number of bonds or TH key's you'd need to get said oddments.

E.G: 22 keys per bond, a bond is 22m GP = that's 1m GP per key. Let's say the best promo, for oddments, for sake of argument, is Rainbows end, where you get on average 50 oddments per key. 400 keys, 50 oddments a pop = 20k oddments - so it'll cost 400m to get it if buying with IG bonds.

Obviously the above is just an illustration, but you get my point.
