![]() ![]() Loki was a shapeshifter, and only a few days before the builder’s year was up he took the shape of an exceptionally well-formed mare. He knew that he would be blamed if Freyja were forced to marry a jötunn mason. Loki, however, would ensure that the work was not finished. Freya was horrified, and furious, to see that he might be able to finish the work before the year was up. The seemingly humble builder was completing his work with almost unbelievable speed. His stallion, Svaðilfari, had supernatural strength and stamina as well. They did not know that the workman was actually a jötunn, or giant, in disguise. ![]() He demanded Freyja’s hand in marriage as his payment.įreyja wanted to refuse the offer entirely, but Loki convinced the gods that the man’s task would be impossible. The mason claimed that he could complete the work in a year without any help beyond the use of his horse, but his price horrified the gods. Asgard’s walls had been damaged, so the gods hired a builder to remake the fortifications. Sleipnir originated shortly after the war between the Aesir and Vanir gods ended. Odin’s magical horse was a powerful symbol of his owner’s unique mastery of ancient magic. Instead, Sleipnir was an important part of Norse mythology because of what he symbolized. It wasn’t even due to the unusual circumstances of his famous birth story. Sleipnir’s importance was not just in his speed and agility. Usually shown as a large white stallion, Sleipnir is mentioned more often in written myths than many of the gods he lived among. Odin’s supernaturally fast horse travels between worlds on eight legs. Its generally in line or lower then other MMO's.Many animals appear in Norse mythology, but few are as immediately recognizable as Sleipnir. I only have played WoW/Tera where a cash shop was implemented so I'm not at all current with what other MMO's like SWTOR or GW2 charge. Sleipnir is in line with what other MMO's (WoW,Tera) charge for a mount. Its also was the number 1 item in the store for a very long time. There is a pokemon aspect in WoW but they were 10$ way before pet battles were introduced. Price on account services are also pretty low. 10 for a complete character redesign vs 15-25. You glance over the fact that mounts/pets are optional but it is an important distinction. They could charge 100$ for a gold plated moogle mount. People will buy it and it still wont have any effect on you. Is a 100$ gold plated moogle mount worth it ? Not to you, but it doesn't effect you so who cares. It makes the person who wanted it happy, it puts money in SE's pocket so they don't shut the game down. The prices on account actions I think are better then I've seen elsewhere. I remember when WoW didn't have any account services and you were stuck with the same stupid looking dwarf face you rolled day one. Since you were so excited to play, you pressed yes on the defaults and you character looked like he had defaults. Oh and you named him Gimmmmly since you were very original and the only person who saw LOTR. I wont touch your complaint on an expansion as big as the original and comparing it to current ARR price (2 years later) or the fact you have to pay a subscription to play a subscription based game. I think both of those are fairly justified and maybe your playing the wrong kinda game. Lastly to add, to repeat what my thoughts on when cash shop bitching comes up. Since that's basically what that this is. ![]()
