- that's an interesting suggestion to have them for sale for 24 hours and then take them out of the Cash Shop and only release normal tickets after that. We'd still get people that were upset that they'd missed that day, and that might still end up with much more tickets on site than we'd wanted (which wouldn't make them VIP, in my opinion, it would just make them a more expensive ticket).

The way we looked at it, is that you're getting the entry ticket + a package of 5 extra VIP items, + an extra item on each food truck menu, + access to the VIP lounge + the achievements + another little extra thing that hasn't happened yet, all for $2.50. The same as one item in the monthly collection. This felt like /overkill/ to us - originally there was only going to be the five items that the tickets came with, but we opted for the lounge too so we could add in the achievement feature.

How users have chosen to buy and sell the lounge items is out of our hands, we weren't going to make them account bound items, or make them cost a huge amount as VIPs usually get things for cheap or even free. They were more of a humour set of items based on what experiences we've had in VIP areas before.

(Also, we have been trying to theme the VIP items a little - after Tempest's showers, we had the tissues for your inevitable summer cold for example - but also we've just been trying to do /nice/ things that are items that users would want, or that could be consumed and enjoyed.)
