Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Somehow I feel like I am being roped into something that I could not be bothered with. What can be more interesting than Escape City Instance? The rest is like meh." Rong said as he was literally being dragged out of their apartment and teleported into the store instance.

"Welcome! Welcome! It's great to be bear again! I mean back again!" Bear Cub One said as he waved to the Pandarens who were waiting for the new instance to open after Jin once again revealed everything at the very last minute. 

"Does he know what is the meaning of hype? Who posts things at the very last minute and expects people to come?" One of the Pandarens complained as he had to cancel his dinner meeting to come here.

"And yet here you are! You do know that you cannot beat the thrill of going into his dungeons blind." Bear Cub One replied and the Pandaren could not help but smile a little from the side. The rest of the Pandarens also started clapping and Rong had no choice but to stand up and join the crowd like a normal person. (Or else, he would be seen as otherwise.)

"So, let us have it for the owner Jin to come out and say a few words since this is his first dungeon instance ever since his comeback!" Bear Cub One said as he welcomed Jin to the stand on a makeshift pedestal at the centre of the Events Station platform with the train towards the new dungeon right behind him.

"Greetings and good evening, everyone. Welcome to Dungeon and Pandas' latest Dungeon instance reveal! As much as I like to keep the tempo up and let you guys get on the train behind me and go vroom vroom! The reason why all of you are here in front of the ticket counter is because there is currently no way to buy the ticket for this Dungeon instance as of now." 

"Exactly! Waiting for you to finish talking and we might need to return to work! So, hurry up!" One of the Pandarens shouted and the rest chuckled a little. 

"Geez, now you make me feel like I am a politician," Jin remarked such a cold joke, no one exactly laughed. "Anyways, I have some news and announcements to share, and the reason why I did not allow the sales of tickets to the new instance until this announcement had been publicised." 

"And of course, I will make it short and the minor details will be out in the Pandamonium App," Jin said as he took a deep breath and told them about the passes. "In our bid to move forward and provide quality play for our fellow players and cultivators." 

People started booing because they knew that this was a rather standard line for a price increment.

"We foreseen that the price we had posted was not sustainable in the long run. Most of the dungeon instances would see at least a 30% increase in price to accommodate the prices we had to pay for the expertise needed as well as the maintenance of such expertise." And that caused a lot of mumbling in the Pandarens.

"Isn't that just you?" One of the Pandarens shouted and it allowed some laughter in the group for a moment.

"However, in order to allow affordable pricing for our Pandarens, we are pleased to inform a monthly tier based premium pass that allows our Pandarens to enjoy the Service Instances, Dungeon Instances, Events, and even the occasional Raid Instances at competitive pricing. An email via your Pandamonium App had been sent to all of you." 

From there, Jin put up several tiers of monthly pricing and even an annual pass package for those hardcore fans. The tiers differed so that they could accommodate different types of people's needs. From those who prefer dungeons or lean more towards service instances to casual cultivators who wish to come and enjoy the dungeons once in a while. 

There was even a student and elderly premium pass that as long as they were eligible for it, they would be given a discount to those selected tiers. And now with a brief glance, most of the Pandarens who were definitely educated could see that they were increasing the price of the individual dungeon instances to promote the premium passes. 

With the passes, they were also considered official subscription members of the Dungeons and Pandas store and even the lowest tier of subscription for the casual would have a 5-10% discount on selected dungeon instances based on the week's demand. Overall, people could count and calculate on the spot that with the passes, there was still a discount in comparison with the latest increase in prices.

"So, in order to commemorate the start of these passes, anyone who buys these passes within the next 48 hours would be entitled to one free run to the latest dungeon instance! And any referral to your friends and relatives or even strangers will yield you one set of potions that could be brought in for this particular dungeon! Limited stocks only! " Jin said and the official announcement for the premium pass had been sent throughout the entire Pandamonium Community.

"You will be sure that revamps to our mini games, new dungeon instances and maybe even an all raid instance will be out soon. There are also rumours that we might be hosting a grand event next year. So, please look forward to it and enjoy what Dungeons and Pandas can offer!" Jin added as he stepped backward with ceremonial scissors in hand.

"And now, this is the grand opening of a new installment to Dungeons and Pandas. We dubbed it Dungeon Series! Inspired by the famous game Dark Sols, this is Dark Days Dungeon Series. That should be enough information with regards to the dungeon series and I hope that you all will enjoy it as much as I did create it!" 

"Good luck and have fun!"
