|p=Hi folks! This isn't a [[Tuesday Tidings|Tuesday Tiding]] addition, it just worked out that QCs cleared at the right time for a release today! At long last, I'm happy to say that the Login Rewards system is now live in [[DragonRealms Platinum|Platinum]], and will be coming to [[DragonRealms Prime|Prime]] and [[DragonRealms: The Fallen|TF]] later today after some initial observation!

I want to let folks poke at things for a while, but there are some basics that I wanted to cover in the announcement. For quick responses to questions, I'll be monitoring [[Discord]] this afternoon and evening and will touch back on the forums if needed in a few days with a recap of info from there. Elanthipedia will also be a good resource going forward!

* The '''{{com|BOOST}}''' verb is how you access/use your rewards. You can also view the schedule for your subscription level and modify your login bridge settings.
* Login bridges help you maintain your streak in case you miss logging in! You can earn free ones on certain days of the cycle, and more can be purchased directly in game with the BOOST verb for SimuCoins.
* Login rewards are '''per character''', not account! Bring on the alts!
* The first 30 days (starting today) are for '''Premium''' subscribers in all instances. [[Accounts|Basic]] and [[Free accounts|F2P]] accounts will begin earning rewards on day 31. (If you have an old account that hasn't been active in a while, there's a promo active that includes returning as Premium!)
* Characters affected by a recent warning do not gain login rewards. You may check {{com|WARN}} {{tt|HISTORY}} and {{com|NEWS}} {{tt|5 18}} for information related to penalties from warnings.
* Premium and Basic subscribers share the same 30-day cycle of items, though Premium get extra rewards on some days. F2P accounts share many of the days, but some days are different with F2P-specific rewards. {{tt|BOOST SCHEDULE}} will show you what you'll get for each day at your subscription level.
* Premium and Basic subscribers who are online at midnight when the date changes over will be automatically processed at that time without needing to log out and back in. F2P characters will need to log out and back in (you get a message indicating such). Those not online for the date change will be processed the next time they do log in.
* For those who have opted into sharing messages to Discord via the '''{{com|DISCORD}} {{tt|PRIVACY}}''' options, a message is sent to <code>#kudos</code> for completing a 30 day streak. These messages are disabled for the initial 60 days just as a precaution in regards to how many may trigger the first cycle or so.
* Some days award items (like translocation orbs, or crafting material bags). These items are generally bonded to the person who earned the reward, though in the case of the bags that spawn additional items -- those spawned items are not bound and can be handed off / sold to others if desired.

That should get us going for now! Login rewards are live '''now''' in Platinum, and will be coming to Prime/TF later this afternoon (or evening) after some monitoring. Thanks for playing DragonRealms, and we hope these help out with your characters' adventures!

[Also -- this project has been in the works for several years, and some of the rewards should seem familiar as we intro'd them to pre-test along the way! HUGE thanks to [[Ynami]] for major coding and QC support on this project, as well as [[Armifer]] and [[Grejuva]] for some big QC lifts here at the end! Several other staff also helped with selecting, updating, or creating the rewards -- this was a big team effort, and I appreciate all the help in getting it out for you all to play with!]
