[h3]PURCHASING UPDATE FOR PLAYERS IN JAPAN[/h3]
Starting with Outlaws of Thunder Junction preorders, we will begin expanding our currency support to include yen for players in Japan. As a result, players in that region may notice pricing adjustments to account for current exchange rates and taxes.
As with other non-USD prices, we will be adjusting these prices several times per year to account for currency exchange rates. Non-USD prices may fluctuate up and down based on the conversion rate between the USD and relative currency at the time of adjustment.
