Merchandise for Ashes of Creation was planned to be available by fall or winter 2021.[1]

I had a lovely meeting yesterday with our merch team and what they are cooking up for this fall/winter.[1]Steven Sharif

Cosmetic store

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.[4]

There is going to be legendary cosmetics that can be earned and achieved in the game through the game systems, but that's going to take a significant amount of effort and work; and those cosmetics are going to be on-par with the cosmetics offered in the marketplace... What that does is it provides additional revenue to the company so that we can continue to fund the development of content as well and bridge the divide that not having a box cost would have and not having any pay-to-win mechanics whatsoever.[5]Steven Sharif

The Cosmetic store enables players to purchase Cosmetics for use in Ashes of Creation.[6] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[7]

  • Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[7]
  • Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[8]

Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.[8]

  • Cash shop cosmetics will offer a diverse selection of unique looks.[9]

I want to incentivize purchase in the cosmetic shop for sustainability of what expansions we have intended, since we are not a box cost. I want to incentivize purchase by offering limited items: limited time, limited quantity, so you have confidence that when you purchase them, they won't be offered later on in some other way.[7]Steven Sharif

  • All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.[10] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[11]

I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the market to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.[11]Steven Sharif

Franchise

Ashes of Creation will be a franchise.[12]

Q: Given that you said that these story arcs are a module that get placed into the world, do you plan to sell or release your Ashes of Creation themed TTRPG module for other DMs to use?
A: There's a lot of things I want to do when we launch Ashes. One is, of course, a module that's set in the world of Ashes of Creation. Yes, I would love to release a throwback to the original campaign. It's very different from where Ashes of Creation is today. But I think it's- there's a lot of overlap between gamers who enjoy tabletop RPGs and MMOs and one of the benefits of telling a story through different venues, mediums and systems is that you reach a broader audience, because not all of us like the same things; and I think the story of Ashes is a rich one. And because of that, telling it through multiple mediums is definitely a desire. From a board game perspective, I'm a huge board game nerd. I love playing board games. A lot of us at the office do. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a board game as well. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a RTS. I would love to tell it through film and television. There's a lot of ways I think that the story can be told. It doesn't all have to be focused around the return to Verra. There's a lot of different opportunities across the many thousands of years of timeline that Verra's existed that we can tell the story and even other aspects of that.[14]Steven Sharif
