Question: Can you buy gametime in the marketplace?

Does anyone know if you will be able to buy game time in the in-game marketplace with Embers? All of the packages available offer Embers, but I'm not usually one for buyable-cosmetics. I was wondering if I'd be able to recycle that money back into something I'd consider useful.

Thanks! (And sorry if this has been asked before!)

    So far, everything I've seen says that Embers are used to purchase cosmetics; not game time.

    There is no supporting evidence to suggest this will be possible. However I will note that they have a system for reducing sub price in place via different currency, "Intrepid Bucks"

    Description:

    "Intrepid Bucks

    Intrepid Bucks earned through the Referral program can be used to:[4]

    Purchase Embers.[2]
    Purchase in-game items from the Cosmetic store.[4]
    Reduce subscription costs (to zero).[4]
    This only applies to the the user's own subscription.[5]"

    Because they specify being able to reduce sub cost in a separate currency, they only reffer to embers as cosmetic, and because embers were earnable during Ashes Apocalypse I think it's extremely unlikely.

    Feel free to comb through this page for further information. https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Embers

    Thank you both so much for the answers! I'm glad I asked and didn't assume! :D
