Hot Summer Nights Release #3: Urchins

Effective immediately, all Premium Subscribers have the ability to claim five (5) uses of the Urchin Runner system every 30 days. Subscribers may claim their Urchin Runner uses by venturing to the Mist Harbor Bank and ringing the bell near the teller.

>ring bell
You must confirm that you wish to redeem your Premium benefit runners with this character.  Repeat the command again within 30 seconds.

>ring bell
You ring the bell, and it chimes gently.  A clerk walks over and nods to you before making a few marks in a large leather-bound ledger.  He smiles to you and says, "All recorded.  See you again in 30 days!"

[You have gained 5 uses of the LOCKER GET, LOCKER SEND, BANK DEPOSIT, BANK WITHDRAW, and/or SHOP PURCHASE commands.  You now have 5 available.]

You can view your available uses of this system (and others) with use of SIMUCOIN DURATION.

Enjoy!
***
Note: These runners are good for the character who rings the bell ONLY. These are not account-wide.

Note: There is a 30 day cooldown from the time the bell is first rung. This does NOT function on a 'once a month' schedule, but on rotating 30 day cooldowns.

Hot Summer Nights Release #4: Premium Points for Profession Points

Discord Message Link: https://discord.com/channels/226045346399256576/796619454477500416/1128004146793025548

Hot Summer Nights Release #4: Premium Points for Profession Points

Effective immediately, all Premium Subscribers have the ability to claim 25000 profession points (50% of your weekly maximum) per week for 25 Premium Points. This is done on a per-account basis, and utilizing this benefit begins a 7 day cooldown before it can be used again.

If this benefit is used and you do not have enough 'room' in your weekly maximum pool, any extra will be lost. For example, if you have 30,000 points accumulated this week (which can be seen using RESOURCE), you would only be able to receive 20,000 through this benefit, though the cost would remain the same, and the 'extra' 5,000 points would be lost.

To use this benefit, you must head for the Library and LIGHT the lantern located in the West Wing.

Enjoy!

Many kudos to GM Tamuz for the coding on this one!
