Premium Packages Are Changing by ALM November 24, 2017 at 4:11 AM UTC

Here's a version in Spanish: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YewwDZE6ssVdPwqPyTZ5Z7d9dLKU0f_v5ZE4mvOnu-M/edit?usp=sharing

We have listened to your feedback and developed this new system to give you a wider range of choice for what you want to purchase.

Some of you may be concerned about how this change will affect YOU. Feel free to reply to this thread with questions and a senior staff member will reply. Here are a few pre-answered questions that we thought might be helpful.

Q: What if I already have a rank?

A: If you have already have a permanent rank, you will be upgraded to the next highest rankl.

Q: Can I upgrade from my current rank to a higher one, and how much will it cost?

A: Yes. Upgrading to one of the new permanent ranks will only require the difference to be paid. (LIMITED TIME ONLY | This offer expires on Jan. 17)

Q: What if I already have a recurring rank?

A: Monthly ranks will continue normally, and expire on their expiration date unless renewed.

Q: Do you guys allow rank upgrades now?

A: Yes, any permanent rank can be upgraded. Rank upgrade pricing is as follows: the difference between the two ranks + 10% of the cost of the new rank.

Q: When will this system be put into place?

A: We will be rolling out the system on December 18, 2017. This should give you all time to make upgrade arrangements and for any pressing questions to be answered.

Thanks,

The Avicus Administration

nice job austimistrators

profbananaslug November 24, 2017 at 5:11 AM UTC

can't part me from my shekels that easily

AtditC November 24, 2017 at 5:11 AM UTC

Diamond people have to pay an extra 25$ ontop of their 100$ for a 75$ rank YAY

Bleeple November 24, 2017 at 6:11 AM UTC

When I bought diamond, it was 2.5x credits. Also I was able to reserve scrim servers for 2,5 hours. Plus I donated $100 for that shit. I bought it bcuz its features. So make bedrock better than others, but you CANNOT touch other ranks. You lower the price, lower the features, and make a better rank which is less expensive than the old diamond. So we paid for nothing??

Riilo November 24, 2017 at 6:11 AM UTC

Pretty neat actually but refer to Atdit's comment.

Sweedie November 24, 2017 at 6:11 AM UTC

Cool

poofywoo November 24, 2017 at 9:11 AM UTC

If I'm a mod, that receives 2.5 credit multiplier, and I buy iron, will it take full affect, or would mod rank take priority. As in will I get the 1.5 multiplier, instead of mod perks or vice versa?

Lokigh November 24, 2017 at 10:11 AM UTC

Progress! very nice :)

EDJM9 November 24, 2017 at 1:11 PM UTC

This is AMAZING

Now more will buy ranks (including myself) :)

AtditC November 24, 2017 at 2:11 PM UTC

ALM please don't make the credits multiplier that low for the ranks!

Let's be honest, credits aren't really something what motivates players to buy a rank, but it is more of an extra feature.

Also, it's not nice that you lower the Diamond credit multiplier. We were told that we get 2.5x as many credits as normal users, and most of us paid ~90$ for that, and now it's lowered to 2.0x? That's unfair towards the Diamond donators and the .

I suggest that Iron is 1.25x credits, Gold 1.5x, Emerald 2.0x Diamond 2.5x and Bedrock 3.0x. Come on, don't do this to us Diamonds.

I like the other new features like Bedrock ingame chat + discord channel and the map voting stuff.

Another thing which I dislike is that the Iron rank isn't allowed to pick teams on any server. I think it should at least have permissions to pick teams on Destroy. Right now the only reason to buy Iron in my opinion would be the weekly map vote gadget. Nobody needs to be able to join full teams. I don't remember when I last joined a team on Avicus which was full.

Thank you

Woot

Rubikscrafter November 26, 2017 at 11:11 PM UTC

UPDATE: All current users will be upgraded to the next tier for no additional charge.

Does this mean that current diamond ranks will get bedrock, or will they stay diamond?

Skquid November 26, 2017 at 11:11 PM UTC

UPDATE: All current users will be upgraded to the next tier for no additional charge.

Suppose I bought diamond before the update date. Does that give me Bedrock, or is it current users before this announcement?

ALM November 27, 2017 at 12:11 AM UTC

This allowance only applies to users who purchased before this post was made.

RATTLEWARRIOR November 27, 2017 at 4:11 AM UTC

more ranks = more people = more money

right??

Nethersnow December 2, 2017 at 5:12 AM UTC

UPDATE: All current users will be upgraded to the next tier for no additional charge.

Does that mean gold will get emerald, emerald will get diamond, diamond will get bedrock for free?

ALM December 2, 2017 at 7:12 AM UTC

Does that mean gold will get emerald, emerald will get diamond, diamond will get bedrock for free?

Correct.
