-----------------------------------------CONTACT US-------------------------------------------- | | | The Premium staff can help you with questions about Premium benefits. We are also always | | interested in hearing your ideas and suggestions for a better Premium subscription. | | | | You can ask questions and offer suggestions in two ways: | | | | 1) The "Four Winds Hall/Premium" folder in the GemStone IV message boards: | | The Premium Staff view all topics in this folder. | | See - http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Four%20Winds%20Hall%60Premium/view | | This is the preferred method of contact, since if you have a question, it's very likely | | someone else does, too -- and a good number of benefit improvements come about directly | | from player suggestions and discussion on the boards. | | | | 2) Or, if you prefer, you can email the Premium staff at the following addresses: | | | | GM Wyrom, QPP Senior GameMaster and Platinum Guru -- GS4-WYROM@play.net | | GM Jainna, Premium and Mist Harbor Guru -- GS4-JAINNA@play.net | | | | Please note that the Premium staff cannot help you with billing questions. We will | | not intervene in lockouts or disciplinary matters, nor overturn decisions made by other | | GameMasters about anything. We also have no influence over the results of normal game | | operation, such as events, guilds, deaths, item loss, etc. | | | -------------------------------THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING PREMIUM----------------------------------
PREMIUM 2
----------------------------------------PREMIUM BENEFITS--------------------------------------- | | | The current list of what Four Winds Hall members receive is as follows: | | | | -- Extra character slots! | | Each premium subscription comes with 15 free extra character slots. | | | | -- Extra Locker Space! | | As a Premium member your locker space is increased by 30 items on every character! | | Since you also get 15 extra character slots with a Premium subscription, that is a | | total of 450 extra items you can store. | | | | -- Premium Transport System! | | Inside each town's Four Winds Hall, you'll find a Transport Room (see PREMIUM 4 for | | directions to the hall in your town), and in this room is a ticket and a portal. | | You can purchase a ticket to then enter the portal. Once inside, you'll be in a nexus | | of rooms that leads to all the different towns, allowing you to choose your ultimate | | destination. This system provides you instant, inexpensive, one-way transport to the | | town of your choice up to ten times per month. A sign with more information can be | | found in the Transport Room of your local Four Winds Hall. | | | | -- Lockers In Every Town! | | All Premium members have access to a locker in every town. (Note on lockers: when | | first upgrading to Premium, you must visit your original locker before your lockers | | will convert to the Premium system.) You will also notice the contents of your locker | | are automatically sorted by item type, and your locker manifest (located in the Mist | | Harbor Bank) can show you what you currently have inside. | | | | -- Increased locker moving speeds! | | When you use the locker moving company, Premium members have a greatly reduced cost | | for all moving speeds and an additional speed choice. Effectively, this allows | | Premium members to nearly instantly move their lockers from town to town, increasing | | your available locker space because you have easy access to ALL your lockers spread | | out across Elanthia. | | | | -- A home of your own! | | Premium members who maintain their subscriptions for 90 consecutive days can | | purchase a fully-customizable home of their own in the game. Homes also allow you | | to own your own interactive pet that will even follow you around the neighborhood. | | | | -- A second type-ahead line! | | Tired of seeing "You may only type ahead one line" messages? You get an extra | | type-ahead line as a Premium subscriber! | | | | -- Four Winds Halls in every town! | | Enjoy roleplaying opportunities as well as a unique mixture of tangible services | | offered by each Hall including Premium flowers, location specific transport jewelry, | | gambling tables, super nodes, and wandering live merchants who chance to stop by. | | | | -- Previews of new systems, areas, and spells! | | We regularly add new features to the game, and where feasible, allow our Premium | | customers to see them first. | | | | -- Quicker responses from staff! | | We handle Premium assists and Feedback letters before all others. | | | | -- Quarterly Premium Meetings! | | These meetings provide a place for you to express your ideas and opinions about your | | subscription. You can also learn what projects or events are being worked on for | | Premium members, and even suggest your own. | | | | -- Premium Only Contests! | | We hold monthly member-only contests on the GemStone IV message boards, with the | | winners able to choose from various fabulous prizes. | | | | -- GM-assisted Wedding Services! | | Premium members get a discount on GM-assisted weddings. See the Weddings area of | | our website for more details. Marry your loved one in style! | | | | -- Discounts! | | Premium members enjoy a 10% Discount on all Simutronics merchandise, quests, festival | | tickets, and convention fees. | | | | -- Advanced Ticket Sales! | | Premium members enjoy the first pick at event tickets when they go on sale, giving | | you an advantage for the events with limited amounts of tickets! | | | | -- Merchants and Raffles! | | We have special merchants that work only for service Premium members. | | | | -- Special Premium Goodies! | | As a Premium member you will receive Premium only items such as scripted flowers, | | useful bankbooks, and locker manifests! | | | | -- Isle of the Four Winds! | | Premium members have an island of their own. Visit Mist Harbor, which houses | | everything from lockers to shops, from nearly anywhere in Elanthia! The island also | | features two extensions, the Eastern Harbor and Western Harbor, which contain their | | own unique atmosphere, shops, services, and activities. | | | | -- Premium Long Term Benefits! | | You are eligible to choose from a number of items to work on with your Premium Points | | For more information on point costs, please see Premium 9. | | For more information on how to use a Sadie scroll, please see Premium 10. | | | ------------------------------------END PREMIUM BENEFITS---------------------------------------
PREMIUM 3
--------------------------------------PREMIUM GOALS FOR 2013------------------------------------ | | | Updated June 23, 2013. | | | | The following is a list of the current projects planned or in progress for Premium | | members. When these projects are completed, there will generally be an announcement | | in the in-game news and/or on the boards. Keep in mind that these are goals and there | | are no guarantees as to when/if any will be released. We are planning to bring exciting | | new and improved things to Premium and Mist Harbor, and will keep striving to do so! | | | | Current Premium Projects: | | | | * Ongoing Monthly Premium Contests | | Check the GemStone IV message boards and PREMIUM 5, 6, and 7 for contest | | entry instructions, prize choices, current winners, and contest rules. | | | | * Ongoing Monthly Premium Only Raffles | | Raffles will occur monthly in the various Premium Halls and in Mist Harbor. | | Many items to be raffled are based on Premium members' previously stated requests! | | | | * Premium Only Festival(s) | | The Premium only Summer Festival will be returning from Friday, August 9th to | | Friday, August 16th 2013. See you then! | | | | * Quarterly OOC Meetings | | This is an excellent opportunity to hear about completed projects, future goals, | | and ongoing endeavors in store for Premium. It is also a time to speak directly | | to the Premium guru to voice concerns, offer suggestions, and give feedback. | | | | * Monthly Unlocking Merchant | | A frequent request we've received was a way to unlock scripts via Premium points, | | and while we couldn't make that work, we have the next best thing! Xerria comes | | to Mist Harbor once a month to unlock items from her extensive list of allowed | | wares. She even takes requests for additional scripts to ask for for the future! | | | | Current Mist Harbor Projects: | | | | * Professional Guild additions to Mist Harbor | | Wizard, Sorcerer, and Warrior Guilds are all in the works! | | | | * Paladin Sanctuary | | They may not have an official guild, but Paladins deserve a nice place to | | congregate, relax, meditate, and trade stories. | | | | * Storylines | | Several more storylines are in the works for the denizens of Mist Harbor, whether | | they call the town home, or just like to visit! | | | | * Upgrades to Mist Harbor Shops | | Requests have been made to spruce up some shops in Mist Harbor. Plans for several | | upgrades are in the works. | | | ---------------------------------THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING PREMIUM---------------------------------

You must be a Premium or | | Platinum subscriber at the time of entry. | | | | 2. Platinum entries should specify that they are a Platinum subscriber next to the | | character name for documentation purposes. There is only one pool of entrants. | | | | 3. Only ONE entry per account is allowed. | | | | 4. Contestant should copy the entry form below and use it to submit to GM Jainna at | | GS4-Jainna@play.net. | | | | 5. Contestant agrees that his/her entry becomes the property of Simutronics and GemStone | | IV. However, there is no guarantee that any winning submissions will be created or | | used in the game. | | | | 6. Entries will be judged by Gemstone IV staff, whose decisions are final. | | | | 7. Prizes will be awarded after member eligibility is verified. See PREMIUM 7 for the | | list of winners and the current prize choices. | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------CONTEST JUDGING------------------------------------------ | | | Jainna will take the entries and number them, then in a separate judge's file, remove the | | identifying information from the entries. This "blind" file will be sent to a panel of | | GM judges who will select their favorite designs. Those entries with the most votes will | | win the contest. Jainna does NOT vote unless stated so in the contest description or in | | the rare case of a tie. | | | | We'll select approximately ten winners from all the entries submitted (no matter if from | | Prime or Platinum).

DO NOT PUT SPACES BETWEEN EACH | | LINE. Any entries that do not follow the example WILL be returned to the owner as | | unacceptable. It will be up to you to correct it and resubmit it if you want it to be | | entered in the contest. Entries that are deemed acceptable will not hear anything back | | from Jainna, but should keep an eye out for their name on the message boards in the "Four | | Winds Hall/Premium - Contests" topic.

PREMIUM 8
-------------------------------------PREMIUM POINTS FAQS--------------------------------------- | | | Updated January 20 2012. | | | | When do I get my benefits? | | As soon as you have enough points to spend for the item you choose. | | | | Where do I pick up my benefits? | | All benefits are available in Mist Harbor. | | | | How do I know how many premium points I have? | | PREMIUM START lists this information. | | | | How do I know when my premium service started? | | To check on your premium start date as our billing office sees it, type in PREMIUM START. | | If there is a problem with your start date, you will need to contact the billing | | department. A GM will not be able to help you with billing information. | | | | How do the alterations work? | | Alteration scrolls follow the policies outlined in the ALTER verb. | | | | How do I use PCALC? | | PCALC allows you to calculate the point cost for an enchanting, padding, or flaring | | service (see cost lists below) for a specific item. You must be holding an alteration | | in one hand, with the item you wish to have worked on in the other. you will then use | | one of the following: pcalc flare / pcalc enchant / pcalc pad | | | | If you have enough points to get the work done that you want, PCALC will tell you how | | much the total cost is estimated to be. If you do not have enough points, it will note | | that to you instead. Bear in mind that if there are any costs that PCALC is not | | accounting for, the GM who handles your Premium Point request will apprise you of those | | costs at that time - PCALC is a tool, not a final word.

--------------------------------------ALTERATION SCROLLS EXPLAINED----------------------------------- | | | The scroll alteration system is different than that of the typical merchant coming to town doing | | work. You will not be in the same room with the GM's who are doing the services for you. | | Instead, you will communicate with them through the alterer's scroll. Once you get your scroll, | | you do not have to stay and wait for your work. GM's will be doing these services (under the | | name of Sadie) in as timely a fashion as possible. It may take a couple days for you to get | | feedback on your request. It may take a couple of weeks. You will have to be patient. Do not | | give your scroll to another character. The best thing to do with your scroll would be to keep | | it in a safe place on your character. | | | | IC Note: Sadie will be coming to Isle of the Four Winds to do the Premium Plus alterations. | | You will not get to personally meet Sadie as she will be very busy working on the alterations. | | However, you will be able to communicate with her through scrolls. The scrolls will be | | available on a table in her room in the lighthouse, which is located on the Isle of the Four | | Winds, Mist Harbor. You do not have to wait there for your service, and your item will not be | | taken from you during the process. You will be informed when your item is ready. | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------HOW TO USE YOUR SCROLL--------------------------------------- | | | Below is an explanation of how to use the scrolls. The words in all caps are the phrases you | | will use to work the scrolls. | | | | 1. First you GET SCROLL, making sure the item you want be work worked is in your *left* hand. | | The system will see your item and make a copy so Sadie knows what the original item looked | | like. Please note - The Sadie scrolls are used to request any service using Premium Points | | not found elsewhere in Mist Harbor. See PREMIUM 9 for more details. | | | | 2. You will then WRITE a NEW request. Example, WRITE NEW I want this broadsword to have rubies | | in the hilt or WRITE NEW I want a ruby-hilted broadsword with a show of: The broadsword is | | made of polished steel and... or WRITE NEW Please add acid flares to my broadsword. | | | | 3. The message is copied and stored for Sadie, so she may complete your request at her leisure. | | At this time the scroll will still be in your possession. | | | | 4. Sadie has found your request and decided that what you wanted was well within the guidelines | | she works under, and therefore she has approved it. She will send a message out to you | | telling you so. At that time you should READ your scroll just to make sure she did | | everything the way you requested. If it is correct, you then WRITE ACCEPT. The message | | that you accepted the alteration will be sent to Sadie, and she will then send a runner to | | you with your alteration. At that time you must WRITE ACCEPT one more time. The scroll | | will disappear from your hands and be replace with your newly altered item! Once you WRITE | | ACCEPT you no longer have the option of changing the item. You cannot assist to get | | something changed or fixed. It's done! You own it! Don't even try! | | | | 5. If between the time you made your alteration request and the time Sadie got back to you | | approving it, you changed your mind about what you wanted (which Sadie highly discourages), | | you would then WRITE REPLY with a message. Example: WRITE REPLY I changed my mind about the | | ruby hilt and would rather have a gold-hilted broadsword. Sadie will get your message and | | then reply back to you if that is okay. From here on the information in step 4 applies. | | | | 6. If your alteration/service request is not okay, Sadie has two options. She will either send | | you a message telling you the alteration is rejected, or she will send you a message telling | | you how she can make the alteration work with a few changes. You then can communicate with | | her by WRITE REPLY (message). | | | | Some examples: | | Let's say Sadie is not happy with your request. She will send you a message, and it will | | look something like this: | | A runner approaches you and recites a message from Sadie, "I don't have enough veil iron | | to make your entire suit of armor out of it! Let's keep it imflass like it already is. | | You can READ your scroll for more details. Please WRITE ACCEPT if this is okay, WRITE | | REPLY to respond, or WRITE NEW to start over again." | | When the runner asks you to READ your scroll, it is because Sadie probably rethought your | | alteration for you, and she wants you to see if that is acceptable since she couldn't do your | | original request. | | | | Let's say Sadie liked your request. She will send you a message that will look something | | like this: | | A runner approaches you and recites a message from Sadie, "I can do this work for you. | | You can READ your scroll for details on how it will appear. Please WRITE ACCEPT if this | | is okay. To start over WRITE NEW." | | After Sadie gets your approval (WRITE ACCEPT), she will then make the item. When it is | | finished, you will get a message that looks something like this: | | A runner approaches you and recites a message from Sadie, "I'm finished working on your | | armor. You can WRITE ACCEPT it when you're ready for it." | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------ALTER SCROLL COMMANDS----------------------------------------- | | | A final look at the commands: | | | | GET SCROLL: Allows you to get a scroll from the table. | | READ SCROLL: Gives you information on how to use the scroll as well as showing you what your | | request looks like. | | WRITE NEW: To put your alteration request on the scroll. | | WRITE REPLY: To send a message to Sadie. | | WRITE ACCEPT: To accept the alteration. | | | | Reminder: Sadie's alterations follow the policies documented in the ALTER verb! | | Reminder: Sadie scrolls are used to request any service using Premium Points not found | | elsewhere in Mist Harbor. See PREMIUM 9 for more details. | | | ----------------------------------THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING PREMIUM!------------------------------------
