⭐️ 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! Sneak Peek of Reward Point Shop Prizes Here are some of the rewards that are going to be in the Reward Point Shop!
It’s already hard to get 999s. Will it be even harder now? When will us normal players be able to collect enough 999s to max it?
So instead of listening to players who've begging yall to go back to the way things were you're—not doing that, recycling more content and only adding new things people have to pay money for? So same crap, different avenue for you to wring more money out because you're not worried about the PIMD economy. Your constant dropping of shards, avi boxes, re-releases, lucky boxes and only putting out QUALITY content when it's pay to win proves that time and time again. Just say you want more money atp because the excuses you keep rearranging ain't it
I think ata is more worried about items and their value than the actual players.. you guys are making stuff harder to obtain, in other words, spend more or get fxcked 🤷🏻♀️. You guys truly do not value your free to play players even though they still make up at least 85% of your player base. Money grabs should’ve been left in 2025.
I can see the vision you were working towards, but perhaps it didn’t hit the mark appropriately? I feel like there’s constant disconnect between the ones actively playing and high up devs - while not every idea is feasible, it helps if we hit all levels of players and not just those of us who do spend money.
Just seems like you guys are trying to pawn off more recycled content for our money. Yk what would be cool ATA that we’ve been asking for? How about if we receive an avi that we do not want, we have the option to switch its gender. Or where we can switch dorms easier without having to remove everything? I mean you guys haven’t done anything “important” in a while…amongst other things. This is one the highest pay to play games, and you think you’d value your customers and players a lot more.
Can you for once make a system that isn't predatory and not targeted toward the 1%? Putting "effort" into recoloring some avis and making new stats just to lock them away from most ppl 💀
And can we talk about how everything is a lucky box? I mean ata we used to be a community. What happened to the 20 dollars avi deals. Don’t forget that the customers were the ones that brought you up. You need to show some appreciation at least to your consumers, contributors, buyers and players…and damn also while we’re here, is it hard to have a bit more representation? I’ve never seen a POC lucky box 👀.
Ngl this is terrible. Add more tiers and give us more dns/ecs/keys/bentos/etc.. as an avid web store buyer, I don’t want to rack up reward point tokens and use those for trash looking Ava’s in the reward point shop 🙂↔️🙂↔️ we want more bang for our buck, the more we spend the more we should get back. So please, add more reward tiers in the web store
Yeah, not thrilled about this. Again give even more to the spenders leaving the rest behind. Instead of this, what about ya know....maybe just maybe...a daily log in reward system like most games have? That way everyone would get something. Smaller little things daily leading up to something more worth it at the end if you've logged in every day for a month. But that wouldn't make y'all money so doubt that'll ever happen. Greed has no limits when it comes to ATA.
Literally a useless change 🧍🏾♀️ will us normal players be able to easily collect these XC tokens??? Or will this be yet another t100 exclusive item only heavy hitters/big spenders can exploit and monopolize?
i get new players want old avis but at what point do we give it a rest? as a player who’s (sadly) played so long, it’s pretty boring to see the same avis i saw 5 years ago get recolored and come back out like they’re brand new. this goes for monthly avis and old shard avis. there’s not much new exciting content and doesn’t entice me to want to spend bc everything is recycled atp
