What's new

News Tidbits [1-6-2017]

  • All of Christmas related activities and features have been disabled. If you have any items, it is now safe to delete them as they will be never again usable. The snow battle arena was fun but not quite popular, so for time being it's also disabled, with possible return in very long time when we start messing around with Bar's PvP/MvM.
  • Introducing Rewards Page ( https://devxf2.piratekings.online/forum/link-forums/reward-programs.36/ )
  • Rewards Page contains dashboard to our incentives to purchase rum, there is now currently three primary programs that focuses on purchasing rum itself. Not to be confused with upcoming HoP system, Rewards Page focuses on Rum Barrels itself alone only.
  • The purpose of inception of rewards page is to encourage and promote healthy malling for sake of players and project. We strongly encourage all players to purchase rum barrels as they play PKO as mixture of purchasing rum and playing hard will deliver the best combination of enjoyment playing PKO. Rewards program should be seen as friendly agent to make your purchasing rum little bit more fun and our programs are designed in a way to promote fair and reasonable purchasing, IE purchasing too few rum barrels will not entitle you to most benefits, just as much you purchase too many rum barrels will reduce effectiveness of benefits.
    • Affiliate Earning: Provides a quick and secure way to earn bonuses when your invited friends purchases Rum Barrels A simple program that rewards you rum barrels when your friends (they must have signed up under your refer) purchases rum barrels, you too, get portion of their purchases for yourself. When your referrals purchase 100 rum barrels, you will receive 13% of their purchases as bonus, 13% of 100 is 13 Rum Barrels.
    • Monthly Quotas: Allows you to secure tiered benefits depending on how much Rum barrels you have purchased this month. Month-to-month reward basis, as you purchase rum barrels, system will keep track of how many rum barrels you have purchased in this month and by end of the month you will receive a lump sum rum barrels, there is currently three tiers, as soon you have met a tier's requirement you unlock it's bonus for the month. And when new month begins, your quota starts anew and if you unlock tier again, you will too receive rum barrels bonus for that month.
    • Cumulative Earnings: Grants flat bonus when you reach appropriate amount of Rum Barrels purchases. When you've purchased enough total rum barrels you will receive once-off bonus too, should you purchase many small packages or one big package, or a few medium packages, as long you reach necessary cumulative total, you will receive bonus. Once you've reached cumulative bonus, your count is reset back to zero, and begin again tracking.
    • All programs are unlimited: there is no limit how much you can earn or how many times you can use, when you purchase rum barrels, the purchases will count on all of three programs but however, any events-gift or bonuses received from other programs will not be counted into the rewards programs itself. For instance the rum barrels bonuses you receive from your affiliation will be not put onto count into your monthly quota or cumulative earning.
  • There is upcoming expected "extended" maintenance where we will be taking down servers for several hours along the website, the forum will be too unavailable, during this period, all players are recommended to join our discord server to chat with other members meanwhile. The purpose of this extend maintenance focuses on huge back-end changes, we are moving from multi-database-multi-engine consolidating into single-database-single-engine for rock-solid performance and data security, along tons of server environment changes that will enable us to accelerate development growth due to fact our programmers now no longer have to worry about looking over too many databases and database engine complications.
  • As stated above, the extended maintenance would create lots of great consequence including finally finalizing the HoP details, we've had lots of discussion and ideas but always curbed by technology limitations and so that gave us the final push to truly transform (rebuild) the back-end so great ideas can become great features instead of being stuck at idea.
  • Our website/forum has been continuously improving, our recent most latest addition included new BBCODE for forums, where you can embed items and monsters directly into posts and mere moving mouse on them will reveal information in regards of object. Some examples includes a item bbcode, a pictured item bbcode, and a monster bbcode, hover your mouse over the item/monster names to see a dialog popped out, and click on them to visit the page containing all information of object Kylin Armor Kylin Gloves Black Dragon Phyllis
  • Previously, when character accidentally changed into second class without opening golden newbie box, would result into limbo due to fact the chests required first class, we've made it so that you now may open the chest even if you are second class.

Based on the details provided "as soon you have met a tier's requirement you unlock it's bonus for the month. And when new month begins, your quota starts anew and if you unlock tier again, you will too receive rum barrels bonus for that month." More like just a bonus rum everytime you meet the required tier or quoata. So the higher the tier you are in, you get more rum i suppose.
 
does it mean we only have 12 tiers since there are only 12 months? I think its better to have 1 - 5 tier, or so, based on the rum purchased per month and resets every month. Because if there is like 500 rum bonus on the 12th tier, then its like waiting for December which is killing the hype?
 
No, it's called "monthly" for a reason, it always resets back to nil (zero) after month's end. Program focuses on every other month, it tracks and rewards you for given month, and next month everyone begins as new. Tier 3 is the max, Tier 1 is the minimum tier, and Tier 0 is no reward (not enough purchases).
 
We're still working on adding a table for quota tiers, but to cut the chase,

Tier 0 - Under 100 Rum Barrels = 0 Rum Barrels Bonus
Tier 1 - 100 or more, until 249 = 10 Rum Barrels Bonus added into your account at end of month
Tier 2 - 250 or more, until 999 = 30 Rum Barrels Bonus added into your account at end of month
Tier 3 - 1000 or more = 180 Rum Barrels Bonus added into your account at end of month

I wish you implented a system, for a "loyality system" for users who's previously bought thousands of rums before this montly quota got added, to show some appriciation to us too ;/

We didn't had yet acquired funding to secure development, but last six months has allowed us to. There is much more forward in future. Please don't see this as bad thing, but as great beginning for future growth.

I find this system great and whats better is to add new items/featured items from mall every month. Anyway 'loyalty system' is a good idea.
 
Zankza I bought 3000 Rums this January. do I get 3x 180 rums this end of January?

I'd imagine not since it does say 1000 or more. Check your rewards page though and see if you got tier 3. Not sure if they implemented it just now or for the whole month. If you bought rums before it was implemented I'm not sure if it'll count for any bonuses at all.

If anything, buying that much rums would be best for cumulative earning. You'd earn 330 rums extra if that counted, i believe.
 
yah its working since december and I earn 180 rums the end of december..
And this january yes there is.. it say You've purchase 3000 Rum Barrels this month, You've already reached the highest possible quota tier this month
