Replacement of Resident's Permit

In conjunction with the start of the new world, I will be making some changes to the benefits of in-game purchases.

For now the game will remain free to play and the restrictions for players who have not purchased items will be significantly reduced. Please remember that purchasing store items helps fund the development of the game, which is written and maintained by a single developer with the help of volunteers.

• The Resident's Permit will be replaced by a seasonal membership. Those of you who have purchased a Resident's Permit therefore receive the membership benefits for the next year.
• All trailers will be unified into a single item that provides 2x vehicle storage.
• Basic fishing equipment will be available for game currency (90d at the Fish Market). The purchasable, real-money 'Fishing Equipment' provides the extra benefit of an automated catch system.

The specific benefits of having membership will vary over time, and will be more apparent when we venture into space and to other worlds.

For now, the membership benefits on Lovelace are:

• Non-members will be able to own/rent 4 production buildings and 2 houses/warehouses, members can have 6 and 10 respectively.
• Skill learn times for members will be 15% lower than for non-members
• Members can claim a Membership Startup Bonus pack, providing 5s plus some Bread, Tea, Steaks and Beer.

Those of you who have purchased the trailer, fishing equipment or resident's permit prior to these changes can claim an exclusive decoration item, please contact me by PM to claim this. Finally, also please note that I have updated the game's EULA, which can be viewed here. Please do not continue to play the game if you do not accept the terms of the new EULA.
