CosmicAndyMemberI’ve sent you ESP Mail to meet IW today and sort this.
Thanks
-

CosmicAndyMemberMorning,
Currently we are booked up for the next 4 months with things planned so it won’t be possible for anyone to pick a theme. You’ll be able to help/host different things and get involved in the coming months.

CosmicAndyMember -

CosmicAndyMemberI had over 30 ESP messages yesterday so some I’ve imported as tickets/posts so they can be tracked/replied to.
I’ve posted you vouchers for this to last this week coming and next month.
Look forward to it 😀

CosmicAndyMemberYeah i like it 🙂 good thinking.

CosmicAndyMemberWhat .img for these?

CosmicAndyMemberNow sent. Thanks for taking the slots.

CosmicAndyMember@beannie you don’t need to request them. They are sent via the bot based on the last months games that were hosted.
-

CosmicAndyMember@angelslove3333 apologies this needs to be manually done by staff each time. I’ve set a reminder for someone to do it now but if it’s not done by Wednesday please post in the forums.

CosmicAndyMemberI would think you already know who Pyewacket it as you are both long term citizens.
-

CosmicAndyMemberXie, thank you for the post. All feedback good and bad is taken on board. We have a dedicated manager for festivals like this and all comments will be passed onto that person while we work as a team to improve. I understand a lot of changes at once and not just with the weekend festival but with bots ( prize delivery), forums etc which it’s not great especially if you have expectations on how something is going to happen which then for some can lead to disappointment, if it’s not what was excpected.
It’s been a week since the change in vouchers and my suggestion would be to give it some time and see how things go over the next few weeks and months.
-

CosmicAndyMemberTo confirm Gia if you need last minute event prizes for taking schedule slots you will need to request them via the hosts forum.
Please let me know the host who needs a replacement sending to?
-

CosmicAndyAdministratorSeems like a problem with ownership on the turf. Please submit a support ticket at https://www.vzones.com/submit-ticket/ and I will look into it for you.

CosmicAndyMemberThe only free slots for regular games today thta are left are 11AM, 12PM

CosmicAndyMemberIf you average 120-150v per month I am confused why you can’t buy anything from the easter prize area? You could buy 50% of the items for 120v.
I think your point shows the issue at the old rate you could buy every single item in the prize market every single month and still have left over vouchers but your looking at a smaller number of people who currently have a lower voucher count. The majority of member have a high enough level to still buy everything from the prize mart monthly.
No point adding 3 games per hour unless every slot at 2 games per hour was on the schedule and full of players. Currently it’s not.
It’s been a week since the change. My suggestion would be to give it some time and see how things go over the next few weeks and months.
-

CosmicAndyMemberI will try to clear up the confusion.
You pick the items, you decide the items, you pick the paint colors.
If you want the items to be the same for collectors then thats what it will be.
If you decide you don’t want collectors items then thats what it will be.
You decide.
You tell me.
I deliver it. -

CosmicAndyMemberIf you are free at 9PM VZT today thats also free today if you want to take that spot in the festival area?
-

CosmicAndyMemberI’ve sent you an ESP.
-

CosmicAndyMemberIf you don’t tell me what items you want for the show for May then during May I will host a prize club and the members (you are more than welcome) will come and pick.
I suspect as last time they will want the same items in different colors with extras but it’s either upto you to decide for May and let me know what you want or let the members do it.
I dont mind either way. More than happy for you just to tell me the images and codes and I will send them over.
-

CosmicAndyMemberThanks L’AD you can take the slot and host in the festival games 1 or 2.
-

CosmicAndyMemberLooks okay yep. Emm is hosting.
-

CosmicAndyMemberThis is down to the host. They have the prizes and are able to add it to the schedule listing to advise players what type of prizes they have.
-

CosmicAndyMember50% are festival games on Saturday. You can host in the other 50% of slots.
You can arrange a private game in your own turf or on the street with your regular players (it just wouldn’t be on the schedule and prizes wouldn’t be supplied).
-

CosmicAndyMember@Emm Sadly you can’t pain t the head from cans if it’s not a real head so it wouldn’t work.
-

CosmicAndyMember@Emm looking now.
-

CosmicAndyMember@PopTart I can supply easter egg hunt #4 items for you. Can you take this slot?
-

CosmicAndyMember@Gemmy the only schedule we have now is the games schdule at https://www.vzones.com/games/ which shows all easter weekend games. Every game/host/slot during this weekend has different prizes, volumes and amounts of prizes/vouchers.
-

CosmicAndyMemberSorry for the confusion…..the idea is trying to make a festival weekend thats different from every other day of the month. So by removing the same games that are played every day we try to make it a little different for 2 days of the month.
-

CosmicAndyMemberThese items were designed in Prize Club by the members. Can you let me know the images you want and the paint codes for May?
-

CosmicAndyMember@Kaari If we didn’t remove the games it wouldn’t be a different weekend of games. That was the point and then to fill gaps at the end.
All these slots are okay for regular games currently that you can add to the schedule.

CosmicAndyMemberPrizes & vouchers sent. You can decide how you distribute them.

CosmicAndyMemberYou can see all easter games at: https://www.vzones.com/games/

CosmicAndyMemberTo answer your question we do not have an exchange rate for vouchers.
An $8 going for 16 vouchers means 65% of members could buy this 18 times and still have enough vouchers to buy everything in the prize mart.
Adding to that a response sent to FB post this morning:
As we have an oversupply of vouchers putting a designated gold item into the prize market and then offering for a low value of vouchers compared to the average members holding balance then devalues to the AW item to the point it can never be sold for gold which means less funds go back into the pot for new art which leads to less new art come in, less work from the artist and a slow decline of new art. You have to consider a typical VIP member who never plays a game is creating 120V per year. If you are in the USA go to https://www.chuckecheese.com and you’ll see that you can play games for a day, win a few which will then let you get a small item on the same day from the prize stand. Similar to the 5 – 10 items we have available, but if you want something bigger then you need to save up the vouchers through the month. We got to a point where 50-65% of members have enough vouchers to purchase EVERY SINGLE item for the next 12 months without ever playing a game.
So to answer your question on why some of the items have increased and how that effects new art, it’s simply to not devalue an AW item to the point where it becomes worthless to stop the funding pot and as with limited new art supply then we need to protect the flow from artists to get more new art. I am aware less new art is an issue and something I will focus more on in the coming months.
-

CosmicAndyMemberWe don’t have fixed values for the voucher shop, thats really the point of the shop that items change and values change. We don’t specify a fixed number of items, rooms or values. So every single month it should be different with the expection of a few higher ticket items that people can save up for.
To clarify the main reason for the latest update to the prize mart was with a longer term view that people want to see better quality new items compared to recycled old items and this update was one of the steps to do it.
The balance of all member vouchers was considered and the values updated to a level where for the majority it’s still more than affordable.
-

CosmicAndyMemberI am not sure what you are asking me?
It might be a game but the effect is still the same which has a direct link to growth/change & improvement of the prize mart.
-

CosmicAndyMemberI understand that some people dont have enough vouchers to purchase what they want, However more than 50% of none hosts have a balance greater than 300V.
We are trying to resolve multiple issues but in short it’s hyperinflation with oversupply. It’s also been less than 2 weeks since the change. It will take time for things to balance out. The direction vouchers was going was similar to the historical token issues (pre 2017).
A strong currency in any form is needed to see growth. Without this you get everything you want in the short term but then you don’t see anything new in the future which then goes to an economic collapse. In world terms that means no new art and nothing you want to buy or win, which then causes bordem.
The drop in the number of rooms is slow process to realocate time to monthly festivals where in time you will see new art and prize shop items available.
-

CosmicAndyMemberThis is not the goal from VZones so not something we plan to offer. Speak to people IW and see who is willing to sell.
It’s been a week since the change. My suggestion would be to give it some time and see how things go over the next few weeks and months.
