Naohhi, Solomon and I were discussing this earlier this evening. I'm going to provide Naohhi's response:
>what are the chances of this happening?
Right now, pretty low. One of our current drives (as soon as the proposals are approved) is to give Prem/Plat areas and perks some love. They've needed attention for quite some time, and doing something like this could be misconstrued as devaluing something they are actually paying for, for us to offer it in the store.
That said, yes, we have offered perks (for example: homes) in the store, but these decisions were not made lightly, as we're not seeking to devalue or "piece meal" out Premium perks at all.
I'm also going to add that the mentioned proposals were approved today, but they cover a lot of work in a lot of areas by more than one GM. New stuff is on the way for Premium when we can work through the list.
For myself -- I am incredibly hesitant to offer any other Premium perks in the Simucoins store at this time. Our Premium and Platinum players consistently pay a substantial amount each month, and I'm not fond of overly parceling out individual things at this time. As it is, we have a housing crisis (too few homes!) which can be an incredible storage boon to basic and free accounts. For now, I wouldn't hold my breath for new Premium things showing up in the Simucoins store. I'm not saying "Never", but I am saying very clearly "Not soon".
We still have a substantial list of approved projects to get added, possibly after Guild Fest and (secret project) wrap up, we can get back to pushing those. If there are things you'd like to see in the Simucoins store, other than existing Premium perks, we're happy to consider them!
