After a lot of headscratching and legal investigation, we have finally found a solution to the "lootcrate problem" that works for both us and the players:
In the regions where lootcrates are banned, all lootcrates will contain the SAME three resources:
For a basic chest, it will be:
- 100 gold (universal currency for cosmetics)
- 20 moonstones (universal currency for events and tournaments)
- 1 universal coin (can be turned into any role coin)
This is calculated based on an average of what a regular loot crate will contain.
This will only affect players in the regions where the anti-lootcrate laws are in effect, and we checked with local legal experts in Hawaii, the Netherlands and Belgium, and this fully complies with the recent laws (that seem sure to spread to other regions, but it's impossible to say when and where.)
For everyone else, lootcrates will continue to contain either normal or rate loot, and we will publish the full lootdrop tables, once they are finalized.
It will be possible for players to opt in to this flat-rate system, if you feel that either a consistant flow of loot is better for your playstyle, or you have any addiction-tendencies that might be triggered by the randomization. We offer a permanent one-way conversion, where your account permanently is switched to this method.
Will post an update again, once we have finalized the method and have loot-drop tables to show.
