[Info] Incentives & Restrictions [NEW, 03/01/19!]

Joining Incentives

There are many things that the staff would like to keep balanced; if anything ever becomes a bit too unequal, we will incentivize joining specific types of characters. Check this thread whenever you're interested in creating a new character - you may be able to earn some sweet rewards by helping us out!

The only time the staff will restrict anything is if the incentives we post go unused and the imbalance grows larger. Please know that if a restriction is listed below, we do it with a heavy heart and it will be removed the moment things start to even out again.

Monitored Statistics
— Here is a list of items that we may incentivize or restrict, just in case you're curious! —

▶ Courts
▶ Ranks

General Regulations
— Rules to keep in mind when considering our incentives and restrictions! —

1. If you are redeeming a restricted item (ex. outfit), please post in the appropriate Restricted Item Redemption thread.


2. Incentives can only be used for the specific character being joined.


3. Rewards cannot be transferred to a different character.


4. If you switch Court/Rank to gain an incentive, do not switch back immediately.


5. If you are caught breaking the above rules, please be advised it is considered cheating the system and will result in a Tier 2 Warning and all rewards revoked.
