We are going to be making the following changes to our rules, effective immediately:
Entry Fees
Entry fees charged for CoP zones will be reduced to 10,000 gil. Minimum payouts and entry fees for non-CoP zones are not being adjusted at this time.
I'll also take the opportunity to note that we will be having free runs on a somewhat more regular basis than we have previously.
Lotting Penalties
The current penalty system has long since needed updating due to the potential amounts of AF that a member can accumulate. Thus, the amount of runs a member will spend in a penalty phase will be furthered accordingly:
0-1 AF = 0 runs
2-3 AF = 1 run
4-5 AF = 2 runs
6-7 AF = 3 runs
8-9 AF = 4 runs
10-15 AF = 5 runs
16-20 AF = 7 runs
21-25 AF = 9 runs
26-30 AF = 11 runs
31-35 AF = 13 runs
36+ AF = 15 runs
As it is possible to continue to receive "free lot" AF while in a penalty phase, all penalty runs must be satisfied before a member will be allowed to change their main job again.
Currency Costs for Upgraders
The costs for hundred-piece currency to members will be adjusted to be exactly 100 times the cost of single currency. Thus, the current rates will be:
1 Byne Bills: 3,000 gil
Whiteshells, Bronzepieces: 4,000 gil
100 Byne Bills: 300,000 gil
Jadeshells, Silverpieces: 400,000 gil
This price will be retroactively adjusted to include hundreds that are currently assigned to upgraders.
