Taking it to the next (membership) level
A new year, and it’s time for change.
We’ve been mentioning for a while about the changes coming to the membership system in 2011, and I’m now able to give you a few details about what it will entail.
Put simply, we will be waving goodbye to recurring subscriptions. All ongoing subscriptions will be cancelled without penalty to the account and everyone will be moved onto the new membership tier.
“What are the membership tiers?” I hear you cry. Allow me to explain.
There are five tiers of membership; Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. If a player has spent £5 on Football Superstars then they are moved up to Bronze tier. If their total spend goes up to £25 then they would move up to Silver tier and so on. Below you can see a breakdown of the tiers and associated benefits.
This takes into account the total spend of a player up to now and into the future, including bond/credit purchases and subscriptions. So if you have spent £30 on a recurring subscription before now and a further £25 on Credit purchases then this will be added together to give a total investment of £55 and thus you will be set to Gold tier when the changeover happens. Any further investment will be added on top of that. Lifetime Subscriptions which were purchased last year will be given a value of £50.
You’ll be able to check your membership status at any time from the My Account section of the website.
The membership tiers do not degrade. Therefore you could spend £5 and be moved up to Bronze tier and will remain there even if you never spend another penny. On top of this, there will be no membership restriction on the owning or running of a PMC.
So check out the new membership tiers below. This is something that we look forward to expanding on with the upgrade to the way items will work within the game and some of the other new features we have brewing away. I look forward to giving some more news on that in the days to come.
