The idea of potentially losing cash has me a little nervous, you guys 
And obviously leaderboard will get more insane with drops too so I don't really see the point of this much somehow improving the game play really. Maybe think about fixing more important things like the lags, errors or even better ec earnings/cost somehow those barely get fixed for long-term purchases.

I wonder if the group are based on combined stats of intelligence and strength only (without the bonuses of stat items and dorm and equip pet) instead of how long the “account “ exist ?

The PVP range/dorm imbalance has been a long standing problem. The fact a 300-400mcs account can hit a 50-60mcs is insane which is why this specific update was LONNNG overdue.

And they never really did say how much they gonna takeThe idea of potentially losing cash has me a little nervous, you guys
Hire tutors so you have 0 cash out. And your cash on hand according to pimd staff can't go below 0The idea of potentially losing cash has me a little nervous, you guys
I will say, I am incredibly disappointed by this statement specifically
So you're telling me, that players who have maxed out right now are likely to get a cash rebate, and others will have their banked cash taken away from them.
To some players, this has been worked for over a long period of time, and used to withdraw as needed to protect their tutors from being hired away.
I have expressed this concern, several times over the last 12 months and it has seemingly been ignored.
The solution to all of the concerns raised in this thread is, as previously expressed, to convert players to the nearest stat dormmate or lower. And refund the difference. Players could have then chosen to upgrade to the tiers, or, stay at the approximate size they were.
Almost every 1% hitter in the game, bye bye goodluck with that.

The Great Dorm Tower Update
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be making some major updates to the Dorm Tower and Dorm Mate progression to fix long-standing issues, improve balance, freshen up visuals and make upgrading feel clearer and much more rewarding!
This exciting update has gone through a lot of testing and iteration, and we want to give a huge shoutout and thank-you to the beta testers who helped us get here! Their time, feedback, and honesty played a massive part in shaping the version of the Dorm Tower changes that players will be experiencing soon.
What is Changing & Why
Guaranteed Upgrade Value: We have rebuilt our progression mechanics from scratch so that every level and tier upgrade will now give a clear increase to your stats and plunder. This will make progression simpler, easier to understand, and way more rewarding.
:man-running:A Faster, Smoother Early Game: Early Dorm Tower progression is getting faster and easier, helping newer players unlock their first 10 rooms within hours and jump into more of PIMD’s core gameplay sooner.
Long-Overdue Bug Fixes: We’ve updated tutor payouts to better support balanced progression and fixed a long-standing issue where pet stats were contributing more power than we intended.
A Glow Up for your Dorm Tower: A new cast of characters have moved into the dorm, including many familiar friends from PIMD stories. Dorm floors also have a new look, with unique art for every floor. Our goal is to make growing your dorm feel more fun and exciting!
How Do Players Get This Update?
To keep things running smooth like peanut butter, we’ll be rolling this update out gradually to groups of players instead of the entire playerbase all at once. No game downtime is expected.
Brand-new accounts will receive this update first, then gradually to our early and mid-game players, and finally conclude with our dedicated late and end-game veterans. Our goal is to have a week’s time between each group’s updates, with everyone receiving the updates within a month’s time after launch.
PLEASE NOTE
Because different groups of the player base will experience these updates at different times, you may experience minor, temporary balance variances during parties and even PVP. This is temporary and an expected side effect of a phased live rollout.
Important Updates on Economy & Cash Refunds
For our loyal players: If your current Dorm Mates would cost less under the new system than what you originally paid, we’ll add the difference back to your account. If they cost more under the new system, the difference will be removed from your account, but your cash will never go below 0.
We’ve got tons more information about this update if you’d like to dive in! See our forum post for details

I don’t really see anything useful there. Am I missing something?
-not a dig on you, genuinely confused on what they thought they’re adding to the pointless post-

Idk , I just saw it . I have no idea if it could be useful, honestly, I prefer to share it here as I’m unsure who use what to get their information from.
Totally understand (and thanks for letting me know)
If they Converted current T14s to anything less than the New T11, that would really suck.
Because a lot of people specifically upgrade to a few highest tier dormates than a lot of lower tier ones.. because that saves cash in the long run .
Instead of having 98 T9s or T10s in new scenario , i would rather have 50 T11s once it gets shifted. (If new t11s cost more than current T14s)
So yeah players should have the Option to choose how they would like to upgrade/convert their dormates or be refunded all the cash spent on dormates( and that cash can only be used for upgrading purpose).
That way , everyone chooses to upgrade how they want and ata won't get blamed/cursed/whined-to later

Sometimes people are so stubborn that they refuse to understand new change might be beneficial so it's better to ignore them . At other times they want to be seen in public so they comment and sometimes people just whine whine whine its a habbit nothing else it's in their blood to whine whine whine. No one is effected . Only effected people are lcbc or close to lcbc not that they lose anything but because they use to feel proud and make themselves feel superior by looking down on countless ants around them . Now goodbye to ants and ants will become cockroches with the new update
