Last week we released a software update which gives you a new menu option to view how many vouchers you own. This is the first stage to a new feature that is coming in the next few weeks to change gaming prizes.
Think chuck e cheese in vzones
The original model of game prizes needed to be updated to make it more exciting and to get more hosts, players and developers for new games.
In the past a set of prizes would be created for a fixed period of time and players would get the chance to win during that period. With a goal of getting to 24/7 gaming after you've played a few games and won a few prizes you have less incentive to keep playing games until another month/set of prizes are released which is why change is needed.
When the voucher system is released prizes will be vouchers rather than items which are given based on winning position. For example first place will get 3 vouchers, 2nd place 2 vouchers and 3rd one voucher.
Now the magic.....
You can save vouchers. They can be stored as normal items.
You can trade vouchers with other members.
You can bank/collect the vouchers in your game voucher account (similar to paying cash into the bank). Once you bank the voucher you can't trade it with another member (it's stored in your game voucher account).
The best bit.....
You can take your voucher down to the prize shop on temple street and trade them in right away for a prize (same as you would have got when prizes were hand delivered) or you can save vouchers to claim a better prize later on.
The prize shop will have special vendos to exchange game vouchers for prizes.
The prize shop will have monthly prizes which rotate each month and permanent prizes which will be higher voucher items that you can save for. Example items may include AW items, free turf rents, free membership, rare prizes, one off items and much more.
Play more, get rewarded more
