Changes to the Vindictus Token System

• spazzyorbit wrote on 2010-10-27 02:39
  Greetings Mercenaries!
  
  We’ve been watching and listening very closely this week as you’ve bandied Vindictus’ Token System back and forth. Given the seriousness of this issue, we’ve taken some unprecedented steps to make sure that any response we gave on this issue would be extremely well considered. After numerous internal discussions and meetings regarding this, we’ve even met with a select group of players to make sure your views were represented.
  
  After considering many ideas, we’d like to announce the following changes to the Vindictus Token System:
  
  Silver Token Giveaways
  
  Silver Tokens given away will be increased to 150
  Silver Tokens will now be refilled 3 times per week. Refills will occur every Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 10:00 AM Pacific.
  Platinum Token Pricing
  
  Platinum Tokens prices have changed:
  1 Platinum Token = NX 300
  10 Platinum Tokens = NX 2600
  50 Platinum Tokens = NX 6900
  Players who purchased Platinum Tokens at the original prices will be given the difference in Platinum Tokens during the scheduled maintenance on October 26, 2010.
  
  These changes become effective following the October 26, 2010 patch.
  
  Please note that we are currently reviewing other possible changes which we may implement to the Token System in order to create the best play experience.
  
  The Vindictus team would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Vindictus players who came to our office to discuss this issue. We found this meeting an extremely positive experience and we were impressed with their maturity and perceptive insight into the game, the token system, and about Vindictus in general.
  
  We would also like to thank our players for their patience as we fine tune the Token System. Our commitment is to create the best possible experience for the Vindictus community and we greatly appreciate your input.
  
  See you at the docks!
  
  -The Vindictus Team-

  tl;dr version: Tokens are virtually nonexistent now. Have fun~

  ...Who can spend 150 tokens?!

  How does this help/affect the game?
  Just curious even though I don't play Vindictus.

  I'm guessing 150 per week...
  either way, I like this.

  Hardcore players can play longer daily, without spending a fortune on Platinum Tokens.

  Yes, platinum tokens have been reverted (in essence) to $.138 cents each from $.30.

  That's... really impressive for such a big change.
  
  Four days to spend 75 tokens each (23 runs), three days to spend 50 tokens each (17 runs).

  And this will definitely bring me back into Vindi. :)

  I've never ran out of tokens...

  Hey that's pretty cool. Sweet.

  Well, this is a bit too much, plat lower is good, 3 day reset is good. 150 Token per reset. Noty, lower to 75 please T_T..
  
  Now the grinders will have all their grinding needs, yay~
  
  Edit: Wonder how this will last, oh well, might as well take advantage.
  
  Edit: read that wrong, so its 150 total, per week, not per reset. I r fail, change is good :D

  I guess some good things did happen after as a result from that get together about tokens.

  Nexon game service is changing for the better, I remember when all they had was MapleStory and it was a hacker's den with little player support. Now they're trying to push content out much faster and increase their relationships with the players.
  
  If only their customer service team could show some sort of growth too.

  Oh I was thinking every time it resets it gives 150. Was gonna say that's a bit much, no one will bother buying platinum tokens. They need to word that differently...
  
  Anyway, 50 extra tokens per week sounds good to me! Gotta use as much on Evie tomorrow as possible. =D
