Diamond purchasing disabled until Midnight

[Seiichi]

I will be disabling Diamond purchasing until Midnight again so that people do not buy before the Diamond sale.

This is done because we have had a policy to reimburse any purchase made within 12-24 hours before a sale with the sale price, however with a larger number of players this isn't easy to maintain so I am currently handling it by doing a one-day stop to purchases before the sale goes live.

The current options are a) stop doing reimbursements and keep the shop open, or b) close Diamond purchases the day before a sale.

I also want some input on how we should handle this in the future, so please vote on this thread.

hi, option b) close Diamond purchases the day before a sale.

If you are reimbursing people who purchased to early anyway, and not just as OTC for the newcomers, like after DP/SH EU were closed, why not save yourself the extra work and just disable the purchase option for 24h? If there is a sale every 2 weeks, I would assume people plan their spending/purchases accordingly, anyway.

Most people don't keep track of when the next sale will be .

Keeping track of a sale every 14 days, like twice a month, 24 times/year can really be difficult. I agree. *not*

I say B. Most of them just don't read or want everything right away. So they can also learn to wait and read.
it's not that bad to wait for 24h
