[Announcement] New VIP System – What would you like to see?

[mnsewerrat]

In my humble opinion, the current system is fine.
Of course, by opening the door and asking. "What should be changed?" you are going to get multiple responses of "Add more, more, more."

* Any additional benefits to the existing system should be given as a tradeoff to current benefits.
For example, adding an additional bath, training or redemption attempt, should remove one of the additional dungeon attempts.
* If additional benefits are given, they should be minimal to not throw off the balance of the game.
For example, if an increase in exp gain is given it should go from 1.5% to 1.6% or maybe 1.75% max.. or an increase in the hourly coupon gain from 2 to 2.25 or 2.5 max, so VIP members gain an extra coupon every 2 to 4 hours, not doubled as has been suggested.

I do, however, agree with the following suggestions already given.
* Switching the "VIP" designation to an optional title that can be changed if you choose to.
* The suggestions of a multitiered VIP system with additional benefits per tier/level with multitiered pricing. (either "white, green, blue..." or "bronze, silver, gold" as previously suggested)
* Adding the possibility to purchase VIP into the in-game Item Shop
* Adding the possibility to purchase different lengths of time for VIP rather than just the current 30 day.
Not only the shorter one day, three day or one week memberships as previously suggested, but longer 60 or 90 day, or even 6 month or one year VIP memberships, with discounts for purchasing additional time in advance.
For example (obviously R2 can work out their own pricing scheme): $7.99 for the current 30 day VIP, $14.99 for a 60 day VIP membership (~ $7.50/mo), $20.99 for a 90 day membership (~$7.00/mo), $39.99 for a 6 month membership (~$6.67/mo), $69.99 for a full year (~$5.83/mo), etc.


P.S.: Although, some players mentioned green dragon coins now available as a possible reward for Day in Vidalia quests, they fail to remember (or mention) that red dragon coins are also possible rewards in the green dragon hunt, and black in the red hunt. Changes to the additional green dragon coins given to VIPs are not necessary. The additional 2 chances every day to get something extra for nothing are sufficient.

the only thing i can think of this time to change for a vip. is in seed. where its like doing championbluffs seed you can choose which seed you can plant. thats it just removeing the random seed. just see a lot of ppl going to get seed plant and leave them. so giveing the option to chose which seed you want may help even if you have to put a price. exp. white jade 3g. it may seam high but the gold receved its well i guess more worth it. the think i like to see changed so far is the coin toss after the 5th toss when vip toss kick's in has a random % to cost 3 6 9 12 115 coins instead of just being 15. i know theres a few statement about things being cash players vs none cash player and keeping it in a even area ground. but i also see to where 7.99 a month is affordable to about any1 but children. so here is something i am going to toss for the childern who needs the extra drive. the day in vadiala. can give a 1 day free vip. where as if your lucky and get over 5 in one day you get 5 free day. i just think adding that will keep the ballence and make every1 happy so we dont have to hear about the game being out of ballence.

[dalicana]

oh wait 1 more idea i just got. vip being vip you can actually chose which things you want active like lets say you dont do your coin toss dayly you onlly do 5. you can turn that off. and use maybe how people are wanting extra baths or ladder. the ladder giveing out more shards you can get 4 here but not throw into an imbalence. getting 2 extra shards a day from soul root crystal is not going to put things at an imballence. even with the 1.5 it takes none cash users time to lvl or there more slowly at lvl. saying dont give what 2 more shards going to throw it into an imballence is an incorrect statment. it give the vip the little 1.5 the need to stay ahead. i dont see any pain here so i am 100% for mor shards. but wont be bothered at all not to get them. as of the color of the vip and the monthly payments to make a ballence in vip would actually be better i think i would co to orange vip and pay more to get the extra stuff.

Hi R2 and all Crystal Saga players

Further to the request of idea submission regarding the Crystal Saga (CS) VIP System, I have drafted proposed VIP system changes as follows:

Base case – current Crystal Saga VIP System (only one VIP system available)
Cost to CS players: $7.99 USD / month
Benefits received by CS players (compared to non-VIP players) include:
• 800 Crystal received
• Additional permanent 50% character experience (i.e. 1.5 times non-VIP)
• Additional permanent 50% pet experience (i.e. 1.5 times non-VIP)
• Additional 2 AFK hours per day (i.e. 3 hours total bonus / day)
• Additional 2 Dragon Coins per day (i.e. 3 total coins / day)
• Additional 3 attempts for each dungeons per day(i.e. 8 attempts total / day)
• Additional 7 extra well wishes per day(i.e. total 12 wishes / day)
• Additional 1 Level 6 delivery Quest per day(i.e. for an extra 25 crystal cost to total of 2 deliveries / day)

Proposed case – Tiered Crystal Saga VIP System

Argument: to provide a comparable benefit based CS VIP system for those players who have loyally play and also willing to regularly contribute to CS gaming experience improvement. This will also bring benefit to R2 in enabling a constant monitoring system to the development of a particular server (VIP players and non-players ratio) i.e. for future server merge or better utilise of R2 company resources.

The proposal is to expand the current VIP system into three classes as follows:

Tier 1 – Silver VIP Class current Crystal Saga VIP System
Cost and Benefit to CS players – as listed above i.e. remains the same

Tier 2 – Gold VIP class (Gold plated character name)
Cost to CS players - $11.99 / month (50% more)
Benefits to CS players – additional benefits as compared to the non-VIP Players as follows
• 1200 Crystal received
• Additional permanent 75% character experience
• Additional permanent 75% pet experience
• Additional 3 AFK hours per day
• Additional 2 Green Dragon Coins and one Red Dragon coin per day
• Additional 4 attempts for each dungeons per day, increase chance of rare item drop rates by 50% (any difficulties level)
• Additional 10 extra well wishes per day
• Additional 1 Level 6 delivery Quest per day with no crystal payment required.
• One daily Gold Class gift (contains either 2x torches / 1xmorph crystal / 1x Dragon Crystal / shining gem coupon / 3 x soul shards)

Tier 3 – Platinum class VIP (Platinum plated character name)
Cost to CS players - $15.99 / month (100% more)
Benefits to CS players – additional benefits as compared to the non-VIP Players as follows
• 1600 Crystal received
• Additional permanent 100% character experience
• Additional permanent 100% pet experience
• Additional 4 AFK hours per day
• Additional 2 Green Dragon Coins, one Red Dragon and one black dragon coin per day
• Additional 4 attempts for each dungeons per day, increase chance of rate item drop rates by 100% (any difficulties level)
• Additional 10 extra well wishes per day, additional 2 special well wishes (with better drops chances for title shards and golden fruit of honor)
• Additional 1 Level 6 delivery Quest per day with no crystal payment required – no changes
• One daily Gold Class VIP gift (contains either 4x torches / 2x morph crystal / 2x Dragon Crystal / 2x shining gem coupons / 6x soul shards / 1x Greater MUT / 1x Ethereal wing)

Overall, the tier based VIP system will reward those players who will to contribute more for a better CS improvement system. If this is implemented, I probably go for the platinum directly!!
Give and you shall be given!
Cheers

i love to see this central starglade stay around also. maybe only make it acessable to vip member where it has a shop guy like in ladder at lvl 40 or 50 that sells shop items at disconted rates. or sells items for gold rates. giveing a ballence to thoughs that cant make it to 40 or 50 yet.make it accesable through the vip agent. maybe haveing here a series of vip quiest. i dont know i just enjoy the veaw of central staglade and like to see it stick around even if it dont give nothing it be nice to swing by there and just chill from time to time.

I think an idea for an Extra bonus for being VIP would be that once you have bought VIP you can gain access to a mailing sytem. Allowing you to send messages to ppl who are offline send items etc

I agree with most of the posts about VIP LEVEL. Isn't this implemented in the Chinese version of crystal saga ? I saw some GM with [VIP10] or something, whatever that means.

Another thing I would like to add is....

1. Soul Shard Exchange per day for higher lvl VIP, for example, VIP lvl 1 = can exchange 7 soul shard per day, VIP lvl 2 = 9 soul shard per day, and so on. It would also give some meanings to Soul Root Crystal. The ridiculous amount of soul shards needed to get a complete soul is just nuts. I mean, if this got implemented, you don't even have to worry making so many events that give out soul shards, maybe just once in a while during big event.

2. More discount to buy cash shop items maybe ? This won't reduce your income, if anything, people will buy more, since it become cheaper, and it's not like few packs of ethereal wings, soul shards, gmt will get you to the max...

3. Green, Red, Black dragon coin is a must for higher lvl vip IMO, how many of each are according to r2games, you should decide what number is fair.

I like squatog's post the most, maybe extra ladder chance (just in case the first one messed up because people got dc, crash, etc) , extra training , extra seeds of life, etc.

More exp, pet exp are already covered by most people.

agree with this

[frdchan222]

my idea for new vip system
1: change delivery pay 15 silver will deliver lvl 4 delivery instead of lvl 1 and for paying 25crystal will deliver lvl 7 instead of lvl 6
2:recieve 2 pcs green dragon coin instead of 3 then change the other 1 to red dragon coin
so its 2 green dragon coin and 1 red dragon coin per day
3: additional attemp to infused soul shard
4: recieve vip pack per day wich will recieve if open with the following:
1-2 or 1-3 pcs afk card or
1-2 or 1-3 pcs 2x exp token

5: 5% -10% discount on cash shop to all vip player

6:applying vip will recieve a pack wich can recieve either one of the following
a) white tiger 3 days
b) seiryu 3 days
c) or great phoenix for 3 days

hope it help

Im not VIP but i do purchase crystals now and again, so these are the things that may make me consider becoming VIP:

* Soul Shard Exhance increased from the current 5 per day
* Better Drop Rate in Dungeons - Things i need like Dragon Crystals and Major Enchants dropping more often would be a major boost.
* Additional Seed Event for VIP only - new feature perhaps that gives random goodies and not just gold
* VIP Skill like the insignia rage explosion - could be used only in PVE or in both formats. Would speed up monotomous dungeon runs.
* Increased % on enchanting items and upgrades - I think everyone gets frustrated enchanting etc, just so random and getting an edge here would be well worth the VIP fee.

Could add a lot more obviously but these I hope are achievable for you without affecting gameplay or crystal purchases for R2.

[millenius22]

I hope you guys realize the more benefit VIP gives, the more crystal it is required. I'm sure R2 has their own way for benefits/cost. But having too much ridiculous benefits would obviously shoot the current VIP price up high. I'd suggest increasing the xp/pet xp to 2x. Add a 1.5x/2x for drops and additional try, maybe 1 or 2 for Soul Shards by the Ranger.

Or, you could change some of the current benefit like 2 extra Green Dragon Coin, into a Dragon Coin box. This pack would give chance to get either green, red or black coin.
What about 1 extra run for escort and plunder ?

[KnightOChaos]

i was thinking maybe we could have extra (A Day In Vidalia) quests, maybe +2 / +5 for VIP members.
give a % off items in the Item Shop, maybe 5% off everything bought with Crystals that would entice more people to become[VIP].

PLEASE DON'T INCREASE THE PRICE

[R2CS_Alba]

All your suggestions shall be noted . R2 is constantly improving its platform to satisfy our valued clients. Thank you for your suggestions.

[Shaiel34]

Instead of revamping the VIP benefits since I like how it is already set up. I would actually prefer having more options of how to buy it. Instead of the 7.99 recurring every month, give an option of having a person being able to buy it monthly, 3 months, six months or a year of time. I would be more likely to keep a VIP if it was a once a year hit on my paypal or credit card. I think that there should be more options of how we buy it.

[usanjay77]

pls i request don't upgrade we free players already sacrificing in this game......
