️ 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 rewardsYou’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 recycletl;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 goalsFor 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 overall️ 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!

literally who asked for this though
. 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.
.
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?
