A Few Updates! Game Corner, RT Costs, and More

[Lamont]

Good day all! We staff of ZZ have been busy busy behind the scenes reviewing various aspects of the forum and have shambled together a few fixes to some well known areas of the forum.


Game Corner Prizes!

Out with some old and in with a ton of new! That's right! We have updated all of the things that you can spend your glorious coins on. While the fun bundle of new pokémon available are probably the most noticeable, you will also find that the TM costs have also been re-evaluated to make more sense with the RT exchange rates as well as just accessibility in general.

Make sure you take a look! *cough* Spend!



RT Shop & Mod Reward TMs

We noticed some very very odd conversion problems with buying things with RT vs. Coins and have now fixed the discrepancies. As well, Attract was removed. You guys'll just have to go through and beat Whitney for that one! Good luck ;D

The same thing was done for the same TMs available via Mod Rewards.



Quick Guide to Moderating

While this is less relevant to the forum on a whole, it is still an important update for any mods. We have updated the lovely guide Andrew composed with another important section that is worth a read whenever you have some time. Keep up the good work everyone.

That's all for now Though, there are certainly more things on the way! Such as the MotM announced next week, a new Quest, further Game Corner updates, plans for Alola after the festival, and other such goodies you'll just have to keep your eyes open for ;D

Cheers all!

Hullo all! I considered making a new announcement thread but figured this one was suitable since it's just a small update regarding the Game Corner, plus having it here reminds anyone with concerns about coin gain & buying prizes that on the previous update we significantly decreased the cost of many of the old prizes in the Game Corner.


As many of you are already aware we have done some work on the games in the Game Corner. Most notably would be the lowering of the Hi-Lo winnings. We found that it was far too low risk for such great/easy rewards in comparison to all the other games. And while we were trying to make the other games (Roulette & Slots mainly) more fun & rewarding to play we discovered that Hi-Lo was so good that it was impossible to balance around. So please don't hate us for nerfing the coin winnings of your favorite game ;p

To make up for Hi-Lo winnings being lowered we have done a few things.


First off, Gogoat Races held at the end of every month will reward coins now for all placings! Though there is a small entry fee applied, that all goes into the winning pot (already stashed with a set # of coins) and is redistributed to those that place. It's expected that 1st place will win ~500, 2nd ~400, and 3rd ~200+. So, the more people that race the better the rewards! And don't worry, the RT & Pokémon awards are still there too.


Next up is the Slots. They have been adjusted to 5 plays per week now, but the winnings have been drastically increased. Noting that 777 now wins 500 coins instead of 100!


Roulette we are still working on but will hopefully have an update to that dust-collecting thing in the near future.


We hope this helps brush off some of the cobwebs in our Hi-Lo Corner Game Corner.
Cheers all!

Just a quick note here for those that miss it in chat, Roulette has been updated!

New Rules

Now it's not just a coin sink. Hope you all enjoy!
