The Unseen Order
We’d like to inform our glorious community these will be the final Pre-Order Packs that are available. More information regarding this can be found in the FAQ at the end of this article.
There are some who believe that power, prosperity, and abundance can only be achieved through the process of ritual blood sacrifice. According to the twisted ideology of The Unseen Order, the larger the sacrifice, the greater the gift of power and prosperity contained within it, but what happens when things go too far?
What began as a small group of settlers, whose selfless and benevolent efforts were to increase the bounty of their community’s harvest, quickly transformed into an arcane cult with an insatiable hunger for domination and control. Today, the members of this dark and mysterious sect, The Unseen Order, are known for their endlessly complex rituals of blood magic. Each stage of a sacrificial rite must be performed flawlessly, in consecutive order, with a very specific set of tools, and the rarest of spell components. Upon the successful completion of the sacrificial liturgy, their people would thrive for many months, harvests would be bountiful, and numbers continued to increase. However, so did the ever-growing tally of innocent victims slaughtered by the cultists…
The final Pre-Order Packs including The Unseen Order cosmetic items will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from September 13, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until January 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that None Forgotten addons will be removed on September 13, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

The more we learn about the re-settlers that have gone ahead of our to-be group, the less incentivized it seems the average person would be, in leaving Sanctus....
They''ll vanish soon.
There were FORMER Pre-Order Packs ??
I am new so i had no Idea. No Problem with financially supporting this Company and the Efforts for another MMO who is more than the many Attempts who ended in mostly cheap Products out there aside from a few, single Examples.
Thank you for developing this amazing Game.
Awesome Lore/Background Story.
* sigh * ^^ Wh~y are People always failing to handle any kind of Power ? But i am not surprised in the least that People who made themselves fully dependent on "SACRIFICES", fell down to Corruption and a villainous Path.
But the Set is so stylish. x'D heheh.
And the other little things.
I think no one can argue about that. >;-)

Lol. I was only joking around. 🙃
Jepp. I have seen them.
Question is : will these amazing Packs be purchasable later on as well -> OOORRR is the cool Work that was done there, now lost forever ? I mean, i know that "WoW" does this always again from time to time ... ...
Imagine making such cool Mounts, Pets, Armor-Sets, etc. Stuff you could also use for Roleplay : and then the amazing Work more or less "rots" as Data Files inside a huge Game : maybe to be seen on like 0,25% of the Community or maybe up to 3,3% out of 100%.
Never understanding why some Games and Developers do that. I personally imagine this as a decent Amount of Work, to create such cool Models. Putting in Time and Effort to make them so, that they look absolutely Badass ingame.
I am curious of what will happen once Ashes of Creation releases -> and "WoW" will hopefully get decent Competition.
My favourite Scenario would be, if WoW would be forced to "unlock" certain things again they didn't plan to. In an desperate Attempt to prevent more Players jumping Ship and go to Ashes of Creation. Muahahahah.

It's worth mentioning that everything in the cosmetics-shop will also have in-game-obtainable variants; they aren't using the art once and then letting it "rot". Instead, it's being used again, with slight changes to things like textures and color palettes.
OOFFF !! Thanks. Nice to know.
I heard Peopley can "dye" the Color of Armors and Items in the Game ? Because then People can give their Characters about exactly the exact Armor they want in exactly the Color they want.

Thanks for letting me know. 🙂👍

You see? There is no need for over the top effect, everything glowing and being saturated with color.
I wish knight sets were awesome as much as this.
Please, for the love of Gods tell your concept artists to use more references of plate armor. Especially when it comes to helms and ditch the trope of glowing eyes. It looks cheesy and its a cop-out when it comes to design.
Sorry if that last part offends someone.
