Next week, on Monday the 20th of December 2010, a new micro-transaction system will go live for World-of-Dungeons. This will allow
us to make the game and some features more affordable to all players.
The new micro-currency will be called "Sapphires", and can be purchased via Account->Sapphire Market, but can also be won over the tombola banner.
Through the use of sapphires, you can activate features in game, and set them to auto-renew if you wish. If you have enough sapphires for the renewals, it will extend your services automatically. Here is a list of the features that can be activated with sapphires.
Each new player account starts with 60 Sapphires. These are not trade-able in game, so creating multiple accounts will not be very beneficial (and is of course a breach of the Terms and Conditions)
Monthly Features:
* Premium Account - 50 Sapphires per month will unlock a 2nd active hero and access to all premium classes and races, as well as increase your combined cellar size up to 6000 storage slots.
* Additional Active Heroes - Play up to 4 additional heroes actively for 25 sapphires per month per hero.
* Backpack Upgrade - You can retain up to 40 items in your backpack after exploring dungeons. This adds up to 10 items per expansion. Up to 3 expansion are possible. Each level will cost 25 sapphires per month and expansion.
* Item Repair - in the detail view of your items, you will now see a link to repair the item. Repairs cost 30 sapphires standard. There is currently no way to scale the cost of repair of an item that has 8hp max or 100hp max. Either the item is worth repairing, or it is not. This feature is available upon reaching level 5 to circumvent players creating multi accounts to repair their items "for free".
* Graft Reset - for 25 sapphires, you can remove all grafts from an item. All grafts will be destroyed, and you will be able to re-graft the item. This feature is available upon reaching level 5 to circumvent players creating multi accounts to clean their items "for free".
* Sub-Class reset - For 30 sapphires, your hero will be able to select a new sub-class. The gold and experience used to select the current sub-class and skills will be reimbursed.
* Conversion reset - You can re-activate a conversion point for one of your heroes for 40 sapphires
* Reset points - A reset point can be purchased for 10 sapphires, there is no limit on how many you may purchase for your hero.
Permanent Features:
* Storage Expansion - for a one time fee of 200 sapphires, the item limit for your account on a single world will be permanently increased by 6000 for a total of 12,000 storage slots for premium accounts, or 6600 storage slots for non premium accounts.
