Fringe Magazine Update





There has been a change to the way the current, and future, fringe magazines work. Instead of opening the magazine to get a random coupon, you can now just buy the coupon directly from the Cash Shop. The actual magazines in the future will only be books, instead of having the option to open for a random coupon.

The Fringe Magazine Spring 2014 Edition still has the option to open, though!

Thank you so much. I hate games of chance, especially where real money is concerned.

We are keeping the book around (as a book) because people do like them for the readable option + TC use. We have been trying to move away from where you have to buy x item to choose to get y item (examples: trunks like so coy, transformable minions, etc.)

Thank you Keith and staff, this makes me very happy. Just the randomness of getting 3 (or more) of the same hairstyle drove me crazy.
I know I didn't buy this season's magazine yet for that reason.

We will make sure to put in the news about the changes next fringe release as well and will keep an eye out on the forums to clear up any confusion. :)

Really happy about this change - if only it happened earlier. I never got the coupons I wanted!

I agree with Speiro here, but I'm sure a lot of people welcome this change. Cheers for not getting rid of the magazines altogether though; they're useful for TCs/people who need the book achievements.

I can understand the keeping of the magazines. Some people might horde for collections or tc's. They are kind of neat lookingo 3o

I wish the mags worked the same way as the collection bags did - you open the magazine up and then choose the coupon you want

This actually makes more sense I think.

Plus, if you keep the magazines and have the coupons separate, you just know there's going to be confusion in the future. People who missed this change will end up buying the magazine for coupons, only to be disappointed when they find that it's just a book.

Also are you guys gonna do the same to the other fringe magazine in the CS?

While I love this change don't get me wrong (as a person who only buys coupons for character hairfuel, I'm sure I'd be a lot more likely to just buy a coupon I want vs. not buying squat because that's too much gambling for a person who never changes her HA sans maybe a BG change)... I have to say I don't really understand the reasoning behind still making a book but it's only a book and otherwise now unrelated to the hair coupons?

Why not just nix the book entirely (like I think book collectors have been gouged more than anyone else this year, everytime I turn around there's more high dollar books in the MC or CS)? Or make it where the mag/book functions like a collection item? As in you have the read options + "pick a hair coupon" link that takes you to all the hair coupons so you can pick one? Then people wouldn't have to impulse buy hair coupons they might like, and can instead just grab a few mags and decide when they know what they want?

Otherwise it seems silly to keep up the hair magazines if all they are is a $2.50 book and nothing else.

Yes please! This means I'll actually be able to get the hair coupons I want instead of ending up with ones I didn't!

Going to miss the random chance. The wigs I wanted always dropped fast and quick. Good change though.

Love this so much more. I never bought them in the past because I was always afraid I'd get a coupon I didn't want and reselling them is challenging.

Boo. I go for the male wigs, so the randomness always worked in my favor because they'd end up really cheap. Oh well. :P

Oh wow this is great. I never bought them before because it was random & I knew I'd only get ones I didn't want. Thanks.
