Hello,

After talking to Jackencola in game today I have found out that it is not possible to use the backer pledges in order to get VIP memberships after the first pledge. I feel that this really should be in the information about the pledge. Jackencola said that it was a given since it was a backers pledge, but I don't understand why that is the case. I thought that I was backing it twice as much. (I'm taking it to the board since it's not possible to use tells with GM's, and I didn't feel that using general global chat in game was appropriate)

In december there was a discussion about Steam vs gorgon shop VIP programs and the GM (I think that was Jackencola too) said that you guys gain more from buying from the shop because Steam takes 30% or something of all purchases and that we get more value for our money from gorgon shop with regards to VIP. Then, later in december we got the message that the backer pledges would be taken down soonish. That was when I desided that I wanted to be VIP for longer and I bought another backer pledge. I got the lowest one again, because I don't really want the extra skills, I only wanted the VIP anyway.

I really really love this game, but this feels bad. I don't feel that it is implicit that you can't use the packages back to back in order to get VIP, I genuninely thought it was a win win for you guys and for me.

So that is the backstory.

So, my questions are:

How is it supposed to be a given that you can't buy more packages in order to get VIP longer since it is a backer pledge? Is there something about backer pledges that are well known that I dont know? Why not say something about it in the description? From the discussion in game it seemed like more then me was confused about this.

Is it possible to return the package or somehow get VIP time from it? Is it somewhere I can sell it to a player? Is it ok if I do this on the discord? It feels wrong to go use the discord to try and sell it that way. Jackencola said that I could upgrade it to a new one, but that would mean I would have to pay even more for a package I don't really want and I would only get 3 months of VIP.

I really hope we can solve this, so I can go back to really really loving the game without a bad taste in my mouth from this.

Kind regards,
Rabids
