Players can also purchase new limited holiday payment packages (game time) and receive special gifts for doing so, including the the best life leach gem around and outfits! As if that isn't enough already, players who visit an internet cafe will receive in-game goodies depending on how long they played. Scroll down for more details.
New Festive Outfits!
A new festive holiday outfit can be purchased for 1,000 in-game gold or $10 through the game's cash shop. Like most sets in Blade & Soul the outfit has a different appearance for each race and gender and can not be traded. The purchased outfit does not come with the Santa's Hat or Reindeer Antlers, these can obtained through a series of quests. The Red Nose head accessory can be obtained through the Internet Cafe Event, details can be found below.
Internet Cafe Event
Starting today, the 20th, players who play Blade & Soul at an Internet Cafe in Korea will receive goodies depending on how long they've played. Goodies include the Red Nose head accessory for one hour played and the Sparkly Red Nose for three or more hours played.
Everyone knows how a socket can significantly chance the value of a weapon. Team Bloodlust will seen be adding a coupon that will grant an extra gem socket on any weapon through an upcoming Internet Cafe event in Korea! The event will take place on January 16th at any Internet Cafe. More details to come.

Hong Moon School’s Glaring Amethyst (200 life leech when crit), 825 Gold in Broker (Went up from 700 in the past month because of new Dungeons coming out)
Hong Moon School’s Glaring Diamond (Attack Power +35), 420 Gold
As a guideline on how much Gold that is. You can currently buy the christmas outfits for around 12 Euro in the Cash Shop, those sell for 300 Gold to the vendor.
In other news that Black Tiger costume is amazing!
Attributes on item shop sales is dangerous. The Black Tiger outfit on female Gon looks amazing.
Totally reconsidering my main race now. Just for that outfit.
Wait...this is sounding like pay to win?...I know you can get it in game but...

Unfortunately...I have to agree here
Buying power is never good.
Also, I thought this is an "event".
Are we getting presents or are we giving presents to them?
All items and outfits have to be accessible in game if its a P2P.
If i want to see this stuff, I can just go play some F2P or B2P.
They're testing the players. if people aren't outraged they'll keep doing it. Nexon most likely asked NCsoft to test this. What they don't understand is that they might be able to get away with this in Korea but not in the US/EU.

What makes you think Nexon has anything to do with this? Seriously, it seems as if any time something you guys don't like goes into the cash shop it's like "NEXON DID IT NEXON'S THE DEVIL NEXON IS GONNA POISON BNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Like really, yes Nexon has much to be desired but c'mon. They'd need more than Nexon going "Hey do a thing!" to consider doing something other than what they planned on doing already.
EDIT: Also, in the games that are actually good, Nexon doesn't put stat stuff into the cash shop. They're also from different development subsidiaries.
