The Woes Of An Original Vip.

Wynncraft is fun. We all know this by now, surely. Minecraft has changed things since the beginning, being bought out by Microsoft, changing the EULA. This has induced changes upon Wynncraft as a byproduct. When Wynncraft first started gaining popularity around 2 years ago, I bought a VIP status, along with my friend. This was the highest rank that could be bought, and granted access to VIP town along with an increased soul point cap. Today, I continue to play this server, feeling like a quality crafted gamemode inside of the voxel game itself. But I also feel abandoned. Abused, even. When the EULA imposed the changed, the makers of Wynncraft were forced to remove most of our privileges. Instead of making this up to us, the people who had faith in them from the start, they forgot us. They made two new ranks, and gave them the world.

I'm just asking for some respect. We've been given nothing to make up for what has been lost. We don't have access to the jukebox, the daily crates have been awarded to the VIP+&Heroes, the extra class reskins (Ninja, dark wizard) have been given to the new tiers, and the heroes get Beta access. There is an imbalance here. We gave you faith, you gave us a slap in the face.

The VIPs like myself who were around for a few years now, are owed something more. I know this sounds entitled, but we were promised lies.

 

you get vet. Stop whining its not wynn only

 

I bought into the game, supporting the server because I enjoyed it. As a reward, I was promised little extras. The Vet isn't any sort of compensation for what I bought being essentially ripped away. I didn't pay for the VIP that exists now. I payed for the VIP of yesteryear.

 

Not all VIPs have been around as long as you. Those who have were able to benefit from pre-EULA benefits back then, and aren't entitled to new features.

VIP will probably get more perks in the future; right now, Wynncraft has been forced to comply with EULA and needed to make completely new things to buy to be able to continue to exist.

 

And I understand this, but the people who were VIPs at that time should be given something more. Just as a token that shows us we're appreciated. The VeteranVIP rank should be separate from the normal VIP. Not give us advantages necessarily, but the things a daily crate for cosmetics.

 

she paid money to get perks not a title

All servers have to comply to the eula but i get your point even if the eula is a thing vips should still have some type of usefull perk
also kind off topic but why is your best class level 42

 

Agreed - the current best perk to VIP is two new classes and a green name tag, it it pretty useless. It is way more worth buying VIP+ these days because of the lack of VIP perks.

 

you should add a voting poll with options
1 vip needs better perks
2 It may need some improvement
3 Vip is good were its at

 

While I do think VIPs should get more perks in the future, and will, I don't think it's fair for older donators to get more than newer ones.

It's not against EULA as far as I know, but it is just unfair to the newer VIPs. Wynn shouldn't be forced to give older donors more appreciation than newer ones. You got plenty of perks then, and the newer people never got to experience them, but they still bought it.

 

My highest level is currently a 42 because I was in a coma for half a year a month after I started playing, then I was in-out of the hospital after that. But yes, I didn't pay to get the Vet title, I paid for the VIP status and what came with it. The EULA has screwed over many people, but the perks can be awarded in different ways.

We don't even have our increased soul point cap any more. The cosmetics are out of reach, and the other two classes are $25 more away.

________________________________

It's more the fact of how Wynn was back then. It was small rodent compared to the beast it has evolved into these days, but the older donors still bought into it. The new ones never experienced how small and limited the game was in those days.

 

I really like your point of view at this situation i like how your thinking kinda positiviley and saying that they can be awarded in diffrent ways , because they could be and they should be.

Also congratulations on surviving the coma

 

Just a tidbit: old VIPs do actually the increased soul point cap, you start with 15 SP cap as opposed to others having to earn the cap through levelling.

Granted, but I still think that the smaller server to more perks cancels itself out; 2-year old donors still had plenty of content, plus the perks, and newer donors have tons of content, but less perks.

 

I did not know that, as I haven't experience new Wynn without VIP. We still used to have a 20 soul point cap instead of the 15.
What about the people who paid for the perks but then hadn't any time nor ability to experience them, wake up, and see everything all screwed up.

Thanks, and thanks

 

So your whining about you not getting anything special..... I don't see any other old VIP complaining. I don't see it fair to new donors. HEro is $100 and it doesn't even give shouts or anything anymore

 

im not complaining but i'm kinda pissed

 

I've been VIP for a long time and I don't remember that being a perk, but that might just be me.

The only people who would experience that were people who bought VIP right before the store was changed the first time for EULA, and they had plenty of warning to not do that if they were expecting to use the perks. For the vast majority, anyway.

 

I don't care to juxtapose against the new $100 rank. I talk to the old VIPs I still have friends who played in the old days. I only found out this new forum existed today. It wasn't around back then. So I don't expect many of them really know about it.

This was at least two years ago. The store wasn't a thing, it was just an upgrade to VIP button.

 

I got VIP more than 3 years ago. I already said it might've just been me; it was probably just a case of bad memory.

Anyway,

 

I got VIP in april of 2014. There was no forewarning, because no one knew at this point. By the time the news broke, I was on death's door.

I appended a poll to the thread.

 

There was plenty of warning on the forums and in-game by the time the Ocean Update rolled around in August 2014. EULA was announced a while before, and there was a thread just like the recent one, detailing the possible and definite changes to the VIP rank. Even if you bought it during April, you had several months of use.

If you were in a coma at the time, then you are an unfortunate and unique case, and I'm sorry that you missed out on the rank's perks.
