{Papillon} Gift/Reward Cards v2!
{Papillon} Gift Cards! v2!
Mon, Mar 27 2023 10:50:31 AM PDT
The new gift cards and converters are available from the big purple box near the entrance to the store. Please read the enclosed notecard for details on the changes.
Now, before you go off and convert five thousand seedlings...you may want to wait a day to do any bulk conversions juuuuuuust in case someone spots a problem that needs to be fixed =P
NOTE:
- Lives require a "bouncer' from purple rewards box in main store to work with the v2 system. Rez the bouncer near your card to convert lives.
- ONLY starters with the word "starter" can be converted in the new starter converter (for now)
----- NOTECARD -----
First of all! No, the old cards can't be used with the new system. The old gift card system, unfortunately, had an exploit that allowed people to get infinite points. As a result, I can't entirely honor the old gift cards even knowing that some people legitimately have hundred of thousands, or even millions of points stored. However, I want to give some kind of credit for all of your hard work. So, there's going to be a gift card turn-in for the old cards for anyone that wants to hand them in for prizes.
In order to receive some kind of prize for your converting, please place your gift cards in a folder (not a box!) labeled with your name, the word GIFT2023, and how many points (total) you're turning in. For example, "Jane Doe, GIFT2023, 345689 Points". I'll hand out prizes for your gift card turn-in as I get a chance to sort through them.
The new system supports a few upgrades and the ability to trade points with others, so I'll be able to reward all of your converting with a box full of points and maybe a little something extra to get you started with the new system. I'm well aware that some of you have thousands of seedlings that you've been holding onto for just such an occasion, so I split the gift server into five different servers (based on the first letter of your avatar key) to lighten the load of the gambling. We'll see how that goes =P
-------------------------------------------------------
Now, an honest opinion on the updated rewards system. Some of you don't need this stuff =P You have plush gardens with better boosters. You're going to get crystals and incense and who knows what that isn't really better than the crazy ten-year-old Tier-22 flutters that are still workin' at it after a decade. That having been said, I made sure to throw in some consumables and special prizes that at least give people something to aim for. Things like the Eternal Truffle, Colorful Cupcake (change the color of a pet), and Seasonal Cupcake (add mating cycles) are always helpful. The new 15% and 20% Very, Very Special boosters are quite shiny prizes, as are the Unlimited Gender Benders and Relaxers. So keep an eye out, and you just might end up with a prize that you actually value =)
--------------------------------------------------------
{Papillon} The Rewards System (v2)
As you breed, you will doubtlessly come to acquire many, many seedlings and the offspring of pets that you don't have a use for. The new Rewards System allows you to convert them into points that can be used to gamble with the Gift Servers. Deposit your seedlings and offspring into the Omni-Converter (Edit -> Content -> Drop them in), and a 'Convert' blue menu option will appear on the Converter that will reward you with points accordingly.
In order for the process to work, you must have a Rewards Card (v2) rezzed in the same garden. The Omni-Converter collects points for you towards better tiers of the Converter that grant more points per conversion, and keeps track of your statistics for convenience sake.
Once you have at least 1000 points on your Rewards Card (v2), you can click it to unlock Gamble options (x1, x10, x25, x50, and x100). The higher the odds, the more points each gamble costs, but also the better the reward.
A normal Gamble costs 1,000 points, and commonly rewards Candy and other Expendables.
A Medium Gamble costs 5,000 points, and guarantees at least a Common prize.
A Huge Gamble costs 10,000 points, and guarantees at least an Uncommon prize.
A Colossal Gamble costs 25,000 points, and guarantees at least a Rare prize.
A Mondo Gamble costs 50,000 points, and also guarantees at least a Rare prize with a much higher chance of Very Rare prizes.
A Grand Gamble costs 100,000 points, and also guarantees at least a Rare prize with a higher chance of Special prizes.
It's possible to get any reward on a gamble. The odds of getting something special are just much more likely if more points are spent.
It's still possible to end up with candy from expensive gambles, but the candy typically has several tokens and quite a big boost.
It is also possible to spend 500,000 points (a lot!) to permanently increase the minimum gamble value of your card. Each empowerment increases the base rating by +1, effectively permanently increasing the quality of your gambles. This can be done up to 50 times (that's a boatload of points, yes) to make every gamble worth far more. This is intentionally expensive to create a point-sink for serious breeders that have no other use for their millions of points.
A notecard listing the Gift Server Rewards is included with the Omni-Converter and Rewards Card. You may only have one Rewards Card rezzed in a garden at a time; they will disable each other if multiple are near each other. With the ability to make more expensive gambles there is no reason to have several cards full of points. The Rewards Cards can also Export points to be traded with friends or otherwise given away. Doing so ejects a box that contains the points for you to do with as you please.
Requesting a gift has a built-in LSL script delay of twenty seconds. This is unavoidable and out of my control. Please be patient between Gambles =)
As with the previous converters, please don't put more than a hundred things into it at once...it already has some hard sleeps to prevent the sim's event queue from getting too cranky. It'll take forever to convert them if you drop a thousand seedlings in at once =P
