Awesome addition. Thanks for making it happen.

>> Wheeeee! Excited!

how many per month do gm accounts get? finally you can get those chrono orbs!

I like this a lot. Nice job!

What are the amounts for various subscription tiers?

Apparently it's 150 for a basic account, but that's all I can see.

Premium is 525. Not sure about plat. But kudos and congrats! This is awesome. If a premium player saves up for 10 months, they can get a free booklet/jar to Duskruin. That's awesome.

Hmmm, Issalya. Are plat simucoins seperate from prime simucoins? Interesting.

Cool. Never tried this, so not sure how it works. Say you have Character A in prime, and Character B in platinum. Both on the same account. If you have xx amount of Simucoins and redeem them when you log in to your account, how do you know which character they will be redeemed on? Do they appear as available for every character on that account until one redeems them?

<<Super amazing... can you now make the store work with opera so I don't have to use my phone every time I need to claim them or spend coins?>>

What doesn't work in Opera? I logged in and browsed just fine. I'm not going to buy coins, so I can't say if that is the problem.

Very cool. Thank you.

>>which seems like it would be much less interactive.

It actually isn't. The smaller instance prides itself on the interaction and strong roleplay. I spend time in both instances, and I can honestly say each has its benefits - but Plat feels very much like a community.

>>Serious question- what is the appeal of platinum? (Speaking as someone who's never tried it.) It looks like paying a premium to play in an instance with far fewer players, which seems like it would be much less interactive.

It's generally been the opposite for me with much more interaction, both players and otherwise. If you are on way late, in the 4-5am eastern area though, it is very very quiet, though several of the towns in prime are like that, as well.

Wyrom gestures at you, causing you to explode.

If you played table top RPGs in small groups it reminds me of that personally.

Its nice knowing everyone and remembering who their character is and all their quirks.


As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, "Adventure" in my ear.

<<That is odd. For me, the first page where you pick the game sort of works. When I click GS to go to the next page, the frames in the middle will load, but the background on either side and the buttons in the middle do not. When I click on the sign-in tab it just goes to infinite spinning load symbol and never changes pages. Thus far I have always grabbed my phone for my simucoin transactions.>>

Using any browser extensions/addons? Depending on how the site is setup, something like Noscript for Firefox would block part of the page unless you allowed it.

SGM Sleken

Yes. And at one point there was discussion about pooling those points as well. Not sure of the status.

All I use is adguard and a media downloader, but I have it disabled for the simucoin store. That was one of the first things I tried.

Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain,
And the stream that falls from the hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook,
Is a mug of beer inside this Took.

I don't know then. I'd suggest downloading chrome, but I think it and Opera use the same rendering engine.

SGM Sleken

Nice.

Now to go figure out the SIMUCOIN stuff.

It'd be great if SimuCoin Rewards somehow encouraged players to keep playing. If I get X SimuCoins at the end of each month, that's great, but what if it was X+10 after 2 months, and X+20 after 4 months, and X+30 after 6 months? Something like this. It's a small thing, but it'd be something to rewards players for consecutive months/years on a paid account. I guess this won't be a popular suggestion, but after seeing a number of players here threaten to cancel their accounts (for reasons good and bad), I think a loyalty program like this might help them reconsider. Something like this could be a pretty decent bonus for continuing players, and it would take awhile to work back up to. Or, maybe it's not built into SimuCoin Rewards at all, and is something else. Most of the reward systems I'm aware of in the game are more or less linear: you have X subscription level this month, you get Y.

>They do have such a thing, called PremiumPoints, for their two highest tiers (Premium & Platinum) of five (Shattered, F2P, and Standard being the others).

Hmm. Premium Points are pretty different from what I posted. They do reward you for having a premium account, but you get the same amount of points every month. If you close your account, or convert to standard, you just lose the months you aren't subscribing. You get 100 the month after you start premium back up again. The best PP analogy I can think of is starting out at 50 PPs for the first month you subscribe, then 60 per month after 2 months, then 70 per month after 4 months, up to 100 after about a year. Maybe with a bonus for a consecutive-1-year subscription, and a further bonus for consecutive-3-years, or whatever. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this for Premium Points, since they already require a fairly substantial subscriber cost. Something like the SimuCoin Rewards affect all subscribers, and having a sort of "tier-up bonus" for consecutive months as a paid subscriber seems fairer, along with maybe an annual or biennial/triennial reward.
