We unfortunately had a bit of a scheduling conflict and had to choose between getting this out today or some other event-based stuff, and we had to go with the latter to keep on schedule for the rest of the month.

We're looking at another day or two before this gets released, and this won't change the overall time that the card is available.

I'm going to ping to this as well.

Like I said, we hit a scheduling conflict and had to choose between morostide stuff or finishing up this card. We decided the morostide stuff was more important and hope to have the card released in a day or two.

The cards are a bonus for purchasing cash shop credits. I'm sorry that the system makes you not want to spend money on credits in the future, and it's possible that is something we should look at about the system, or replacing it with something else or removing it.

I don't know why you're trying to put words in my mouth. I do care, which is why when we had to make the hard choice between working on the card, which brings in a little additional revenue, or making sure that the fun stuff that we've been working on for morostide, we made sure to go for the choice that was better for all of the users on the site.

When I said that it was a bonus: I was just trying to point out that things like the cards put us in a really difficult position where I think we're being nice (giving bonuses for people buying CSC, which we really appreciate) but in fact we're shooting ourselves in the foot because people aren't willing to buy CSC if they can't get any more bonuses / bonuses outside of that card. It's a double edged sword and we're trying to figure out how to best do it.

I just don't know why you think I'm sitting behind my computer being malicious.

Speaking for the art team, we've been working non-stop on Morostide for the last month. The WHOLE art team. And then we unfortunately became down one full time artist, and what was already hard became even harder, in terms of being able to delegate the art needs around. We prioritised Morostide over finishing up the card, but now Morostide has begun we have a little time to finish up the card and get it released soon.

I'm sorry that you guys have to wait, although I suppose rather thankful that you're so eager to spend money on our site to get the bonus items! And I think the new release date of this card is actually going to benefit people, so I'm hoping that will lift your spirits.

Yeah, we wanted to try and make it as simple as possible which is why we didn't make it so that you could do multiple cards, work on all of the cards, etc. We just wanted a simple bonus system. We didn't get it, haha.

- if we announce an end date and then only 4 people finish that card in that time, then then the end date would be too soon. Likewise if everybody finishes their card by a chosen end date, and the items end up low-value, the date would be too distant. We have to watch how the card is used, and figure out what works accordingly.

Loyalty cards in places we've used as a kind of model do not give an end date, their cards are simply ongoing. They usually give away consumables, that people will want again and again and will keep their value constant. We can't really do that, as items on here tend to decrease in price with mass ownership, and even consumables aren't needed or wanted over and over again to the same degree as say, a free coffee (without drastically altering the mechanics of the game, anyway).

Like we said with the first card, out estimate is about three months. When we are a month out from it being retired we will make a news post, like we did with the last one. :)

We're pretty happy with the communication we've done on this. When it's set to retire we'll make a notice, as of right now we don't know exactly when.

Further communication will come when we have that information :).
