⭐️ COMING FEBRUARY 24TH ⭐️

Big, big things are happening over at the PIMD Web Store. We’re shaking up how you get rewarded for your purchases to give you more power, more choice and way more bang for your buck!

Why the Change?


These changes are significant so we want to make sure we're clear and direct about what’s happening, why we're doing it, and what it means for you.

To start with, the current Web Store reward system was built a long time ago. As the game has grown, it’s become harder to keep high-value rewards meaningful while preventing certain items from flooding the economy. It's also a been a challenge to add new kinds of rewards quickly in response to player demand, as well as making those rewards feel fair across different spending levels.

This has led us to restructure the system in what we hope is a more transparent way that benefits all!

Introducing Reward Point Tokens


Instead of most rewards being earned directly by completing tiers, you’ll now earn ✨ Reward Point Tokens✨ with each XC tier!

Reward Point Token

HOW IT WORKS
EARN Reward Point Tokens as you reach different Web Store Challenge reward tiers when you shop from the Web Store.
REDEEM your Tokens in the brand new ✨Reward Point Shop✨ section in the PIMD Marketplace.
CHOOSE the exact prizes you want to spend your Tokens on!

These Tokens
✅ Do not expire
✅ Can be saved over time
✅ Can be spent on the rewards you actually want
✅ Removes RNG from high-value rewards

You’ll still receive ECs and other prizes from completing tiers, but the bulk of value now comes through Tokens that you control.

Having this brand new Reward Point Shop will allow us to rotate new rewards more frequently, respond to player demand faster and keep older rewards available in a structured way. This system gives us more flexibility and gives you more control. We'd like to think it's a win-win!

Blast From the Past Boxes


Blast from the Past boxes are moving from tier rewards into the Reward Point Store, and there will be fewer available per week! This was a necessary change as the previous rate they were being given out was putting a long-term strain on the game economy and reducing the overall value of those boxes.

We know Blast from the Past Boxes are really popular though, which is why we are making sure to include new, direct-for-purchase content in the Reward Point Shop that ticks some of the same boxes (sorry), like...

💫 Bringback avatars
💫 New misc
💫 Furniture slot boxes with furniture in them that you can recycle

tl;dr: under this Reward Point Shop system:
BFTP Boxes will still be available in the Reward Point Shop!
You can save your tokens for them every week!
We are making sure to include things you like in the Reward Point Shop to make up for the lowered rate of boxes.

If BFTP Boxes are your priority, you can focus your Tokens toward them specifically but we hope you will like the other things we've added too 🤗

What About My Old Rewards?


You can still get the rewards you like, we're just redistributing them between tier rewards and the Reward Shop so that you have greater choice in the matter.

The total reward value you get from purchasing from the Web Store will remain comparable to before. The difference now is:
✔️ Less Box RNG
✔️ More choice
✔️ More targeted rewards (furniture slot boxes, avatars, misc, etc.)
✔️ The ability to save for specific goals

For e.g. if your preferred reward was something niche from BFTP, this system makes it easier to aim for those specific types of items! The choice is all yours.

XC Tiers


We’ve expanded the XC tier track. That means:
⭐️ There are more milestones overall
⭐️ The highest tiers will be harder to reach (naturally)

We did this so top participants can still have meaningful goals, while also shifting more value into the Token system where players have flexibility 🙏🏽
​
If you don’t reach the highest tiers every cycle, your progress still matters because Tokens accumulate and can be saved strategically to get you what you want, what you really, really want.

Let Us Know What You Think


All of this being said, we want to hear your feedback, especially after you've experienced this new update. We’ll be closely monitoring how this feels in the first few weeks, and if the system misses the mark, we’re open to revisiting it.

Thanks for sticking with us as we keep evolving the Web Store to support the long-term health of PIMD.
This is a big shift, but it's one it's all about making the Web Store better for everyone and giving US more flexibility to offer you exciting rewards.

Keep an eye out for the new Reward Point Shop section dropping on February the 24th!

And what about those who can't buy from web store cause we are in "the wrong country" ?
 
Genuinely another disappointment and a big L. Stop recycling content and especially content that no one wants. Instead learn to listen to your audience and community. As one of your male players we are genuinely so fed up with getting zero content, zero masculine hunts and zero good male avis
 
I rarely comment on forum posts, but the recent changes to the webstore are unacceptable. As a frequent customer who spends SIGNIFICANTLY in the store, I am calling on my peers to halt all webstore purchases until the previous system is restored. Let's stand together and sabotage the webstore until we are heard💪🤓

The current update is far inferior to what we had before. Beyond the lackluster token rewards and exchange options—which are particularly disappointing for long-term players—the reward tiers have been increased while the actual extra rewards for items like ECs, DNs, cats, and dogs have been reduced. This does not feel like a reward system but rather an attempt to reduce the value of our purchases.

ATA, I strongly urge you to listen to players feedback and address these concerns by restoring the value we previously received for our spending.
 
tbh it’s actually getting pretty old seeing people constantly moaning and groaning. y’all actually had your hopes up for this? i’m not going to say that the complaints i keep seeing aren’t valid, but there comes a point where you gotta realize that when you point a finger, three are pointing back at yourself. the devs don’t give you what you ask for and what do you do in response? you open up your wallets, then bend over and take it right up the tail pipe!! y’all love to call ATA greedy (they are), but y’all are no different. it’s no secret who the biggest spenders are on this game. just take a look at who is participating in t10 in b2b2b hunts. look at the TB and Valuable leaderboards. look at who is topping the XC leaderboards. their showcases are full exclusive items, avatar boxes, and thousands of black market bentos. if you pay attention, it’s very obvious who is earning their way honestly and honorably without breaking the TOU and who is not. and the ones who are not are the ones you should be pointing the finger at. they are the ones who have been annihilating the economy for years. they’re the ones with 50-100bcs+ in their showcase who destroyed the misc market. they’re the ones buying up all the EC drops to fund their leaderboard endeavors and their solos during promos, destroying the supply for others. you’re selling cats that you bought for $6 and they are paying you the equivalent of about 60-70 cents for them with their bought bentos. they keep growing on this game while your peasant asses remain where you’ve been. from a business standpoint, why in the world would the devs listen to any of your requests? “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” the portion of money they lose to these black market players is made up for by you guys. there’s an unspoken agreement with these players that as long as they are still spending more than others, they are free to continue on with their black market activities without consequences. these people are the ones you should be pissed off at. 75% of the blame belongs to them. even though the devs are guilty of allowing this to go on, if these people weren’t doing the things they are doing, the gap between you and them wouldn’t be so massive. you wouldn’t envy what they have as much because they wouldn’t even have those things. the change you want is a change you are never going to see unless you all band together. stop selling your stuff to them. stop funding them. stop hosting flashes for them. stop letting them book at your clubs. sure, they’ll cry and maybe farm you guys, but they won’t keep it up for as long as you think. there was once a group of people in this world who chose to walk instead of ride a bus, and in doing so, they achieved a common goal. no, it wasn’t immediate, but it happened.
 
I am going to agree with majority of everyone else in this post and say that this is yet again, the opposite of what we as a collective have asked for.
it seems like another money grab directed toward the top few percent of the people that are just salty that they’re too big to get any bigger while the majority of the player base are free to play players who are constantly trying to work around, said paid players.
maybe if we were given things like a daily login bonus, some thing other than the spinner, to receive rewards from . then people would be inclined to stay active on a regular basis.
Its hard when I have to decide between saving up tokens a week for the free light boxes,
(that for some reason regularly have been glitching into regular boxes which I can’t even open without keys! Fix that please)
or spinning spinner at 100 a spin for a CHANCE to win a chibi when mostly its cash —_— !
i was a free to play player only, RELIGIOUSLY, since the game released. Last year things were so bad in progression no matter how active nor how many parties or tuts that i had, i started getting gift cards to spend for the black friday boosts just to gain what felt like solid progress! Insane! I even felt this past newyears boosts vs the prior years were lacking.
give us another dorm room already to use these dorm tokens on, or let us easily clear the furniture when changing furni. Like a reset button.
It took us YEARS for yall to listen on the speed up buttons for boxes and u STILL gotta click 3x to do it. Smh plz Dont make the divide between players and company larger by hopping on the battle pass cash grab bus and offering more rewards for those who are spending vs those who are routinely active and putting in SERIOUS WORK to grind on this game. 😭😤😤
