And just to be 100% clear. This sale is 5 minutes long.

>The question has been asked if we could refund a SimuCoin purchase if the properties sell out before they are able to purchase one. I spoke with billing yesterday, and the answer to that question is no. While I understand the way the store is set up doesn't allow for a seamless transaction, this is how we've been selling them. We also realize they won't last more than a few seconds in the store. We recognize there is a lot of demand for them. So GM Kynlee and I had a powwow this morning and we feel we came up with a solution that will meet the demand and not leave people holding the bag.

Ever consider altering the Simucoin store to something similar to how services like PSN and Steam work? If you go to purchase something in the store and don't have enough in your account, you get a prompt that allows you to add funds to your account for whatever the item cost is.

Couldn't something similar to that be implemented on the Simucoin store? That way nobody will ever have to worry about getting stuck with unrefundable Simucoins that they bought in advance for a specific purpose, and can instead just buy their Simucoins during checkout. People who bought theirs in advance would still probably have a slight advantage in limited sale items as there would be slightly less stuff to click through since they already have the Simucoins in their account, but it would be up to the player if they want to take that risk.

Getting it implemented is certainly possible. Just becomes an issue of getting someone to implement it. Shopping carts and bulk purchases are something on a lengthy todo list.

Heh; just had another thought!

If I--as a key-holder of a founding room in a House--wanted to spend the Elans, could I get that key set to be a transporter to my House room?

.

(Or as a follow-up, if the initial response is 'No'... maybe if there are any that remain unsold once the actual Private Property owners are done shopping?)

@Krakii I caught Trachten lurking on Discord ... he says to say hi!

I have NO IDEA why he has no returned to GS, however. So I leave this in your capable hands!

I hope they aren't so rushed that their work is less than the high standards set by some of the older properties. 16 is going to be a challenge.

Hickapod!

Tell him Erek & Elysia are back, too; they were more likely contemporaries.

.

In other news, I note for the record that announcing my desire for Alexa to remind me at 9:00pm does not work... I was trying to figure out what "senior coins" were.

Sorry, Krakii. The script that goes on the keys is for Private Properties only.

Can I pick up a key when I'm back from vacation on Wednesday?

Currently closes Tuesday night unless they announce an extension before then.

It is transferable though so if you can't log in at all for even a couple minutes, send me a message.

> Have to say the boats are the biggest pain in arse part of my property.
I just want to say... as owner of Coral Villa, I feel your pain! I have considered picking an unnavvable ring just to get there quickly. I'm sure Stone Manor is a pretty awesome property, though. You'll have to give me a tour some time.

I'm guessing these keys don't transport everyone in my group? That's the one possible mechanical advantage I'd see for FWI properties that would justify the premium over a one-setting permanent ring.

And if you miss Roblar, let me know (email or post here), since I picked up several elan packages in anticipation of getting... some of the things that ran out before I found the shop.
So, yeah. Spare elan I can use on your behalf.

Thanks guys. It's a busy weekend. Will log in if I'm able and try to communicate if I'm not.

We'll be extending the event, but I need to wait for after Monday to make it official due to the office being closed. But we will likely be extending Summit until Friday.

1) Has the extended closing date/time been decided upon & posted?

.

2) Since a) 'room permanence' turns out to not be an issue for a new build (since the SC item said that as part of it [which I can't read any more, because I didn't keep a screen-shot, and it timed out after 9:05pm Eastern last Friday]), and b) the 'add a room' ran out, and c) getting more of the 'add storage' doesn't make sense because everything says you can only redeem one of any given thing...
...I'm sitting on a stack of (presumably) unredeemable and unusable Elans. (Although I am totally willing to spend them to get more copies of the +100 pounds. Because, closet. <nod>)

Is it worth keeping them, for <whatever future Elans-purchasable items get released>? Turning them in,through whatever Simucoin store mechanism exists/gets created?

The elans have to be REDEEM'd in game before you can use them in the store. The shops will be coming back with more inventory. If you didn't get something this time, or didn't see something that interested you, take a look next time. This wasn't a one time thing.
