In Preparation for Star Legends Launch, Platinum is Now Game Specific

[Samhayne]

During the course of the Star Legends beta test we have tested balance, game play, and the Platinum Store. We have allowed players to access their Pocket Legends Platinum balances to fully experience Star Legends. In anticipation of the live, global launch of Star Legends, Platinum is now game specific.

In celebration of the coming Star Legends global launch, we are granting all accounts that purchased Platinum in Pocket Legends 30 free Platinum in Star Legends (a $4.95 USD value).* The Platinum has been granted to your account, all you need to is log in to Star Legends and it will be there waiting for you.

We can't wait to get Star Legends: the Blackstar Chronicles into everyone’s hands!




*To be eligible for the 30 free Platinum Grant, an account must have purchased Platinum via in-app purchase or the Webstore since 12:01 AM, March 1, 2011 and be in good standing.

Can't wait, too! This rule actually, I think, favors the small game developer.

I made a purchase after the Star Legends beta was released with the full intention of using that platinum purchase for Star Legends. Will I be able to keep it for Star Legends?

[Abaleuibub]

Will it stay this way, or just till beta ends?

[Redbridge]

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo.....................

Thanks, Justg! I asked Sam in Chatbox for clarification, but I think he was doing 15 things at once.

[Mennddoza]

Les, this applies to iOS users as well. It will be there when you log in.

yes but people in beta can buy plat for SL get the plat they bought IN sl. And the grant. While people who are not in beta would buy plat in PL with the intention of using it in SL. They get the grant and some plat on PL that they probably dnt really want.

Platinum purchased in Star Legends should be in Star Legends.

I had 7 plat or so and then after this i have 30...Where did my 7 plat go lol

Thank you, Gary, for trying so hard to get this feature. It's a bummer that it didn't work out.

In discussion with my wife, though, it started to be clear to me why the rule exists. We envisioned a huge company like EA doing it, and it was pretty clear that they would have an instant player base for each and every game they made. Then a little start-up would have the hardest time trying to create a player base. Players would all gravitate to the company with the most games because they already had credits they could spend.

So, miserable as I felt when I first heard the news, I got over it when I realized it was more fair for everyone this way.

Thank you SO MUCH for trying to do this. I think you spent a lot of time on it. I don't imagine anyone is less pleased with it than you. I know it's small consolation, but I do think you will gain more from the ruling than you will lose.


LOL!... and now G just deleted his post. Anyhow, thanks

Argh! Now I have to spend another $90 for SL. I just reloaded my pl account.

Your 7 plat was originally purchased in Pocket Legends, so it is available to you in Pocket Legends.

Ok, so Platinum purchased/earned on tapjoy in PL can only be used in PL?

Curious... I think I have purchased many platinum during the qualifying dates, but I did so in PL. As an iPhone user, I have yet been unable to play SL. When SL is launched, will I get the 30 plat on my account there? I reserved my name so I assume I should have an account when SL launches globally.

In the other thread he confirmed iOS can qualify

If your account qualifies, then yes, the 30 Platinum will be there waiting for you!

[Ixillicus]

Yay.

[Abaleuibub]

correct me if i'm wrong,
but wasn't there a special info a few weeks ago, saying that the purchased plat will be usable on all sts-games?

or was that in a fever dream?

in case i'm healthy, why the change?
