Changes to Premium

Today, we will commence testing our altered premium system. From now on, the “long-timer” premiums will exist in the Union Pacific Shop instead of a separate menu. There, you will have the option of purchasing premium in three, fourteen, nineteen or three hundred and sixty five day increments. For your convenience, it also becomes possible to activate or extend every premium from the combined ‘VIP’ option. Additionally, two new long-timer premiums will be introduced:
  • Insurance: You will keep 50% of your cash on hand if you are knocked out.
  • Greenhorn: Your movement speed is increased by 2300%.
Furthermore, several new items will be stocked in the regular section of the UP Shop. These are:
  • Indian rite necklace: You will be revived after a knockout with no penalty.
  • Tent: You can sleep anywhere on the map, equivalent to the hotel’s apartment.
  • Enchanted nugget bag: Produces 30 nuggets every 24 hours for 100 days.
  • Energy bag: Your energy points are permanently refilled 10% each day.
  • Motivation bag: Your motivation is permanently refilled 10% each day.
I would like to stress that no premium offer has increased in price. Although the core of this change is not negotiable, we genuinely seek your opinions and feedback on this update. I would particularly seek your feedback on issues relating to game balance and value for money, so we can tweak the changes to minimise any negative impacts on the game. It is understandable that many people will be disappointed, but I hope we can nevertheless have an informed and respectful discussion to secure the best possible outcome for us players.

Based on feedback from our discussion thread, we plan to implement the following adjustments:
  • The greenhorn speed long timer will change from a +2400% bonus to a 2x multiplier.
  • The tent will become as effective as a level six barracks.
  • The enchanted nugget bag's cooldown timer will be reduced to 23h.
Some of these changes are already live on Amchitka and Enewetak already, since yesterday in fact, even if the translation has not been adapted yet.

These are the final* changes and bugfixes we intend to implement:
  • The insurance premium will no longer be available for purchase. Once it expires, it will no longer automatically renew.
  • Between the initial update and now, the insurance premium has been removed from the VIP premium. If you contact support for a previous purchase, we can re-activate it manually for the remainder of the duration it should be active.
  • The tent sleep duration will be decreased to 6 hours and the icon change to show six stars, since it already regenerates at the rate of a fully built barracks.
  • The energy and motivation bags can be used once every 12 hours instead of 24.
This is your last opportunity to comment on the changes, so please make sure you leave your thoughts in the discussion thread!
