Main Content =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A. What is a Power User? [WHT] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Power User is an EX item that you buy to earn extra GP and gold on the game. As a Power User holder, you'll stand out over other players who don't even own a Power User Card. For a nifty price of 4,000 Cash, you'll gain exclusive access to purchase Cash avatars, a special background avatar for your player and much more. These and a lot more are explained in detail in the next sections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. Benefits of a Power User [BEN] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Being a Power User holder has so many benefits and advantages. You are entitled to the following privileges: > Extra 20% bonus GP and 10% bonus gold. > No gold deduction penalty while playing the game. > Power User holders get an exclusive background avatar. > Speech balloons have a nice golden color outline touch to it. > Your game room (or waiting room if you're not in-game yet) is displayed on the first page of the channel you're in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. Downsides of a Power User [DOW] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite being an advantageous item to have, power user holders have their own downsides as well. The following are disadvantages of being a Power User holder: > Players have to pay cash to be a Power User. > Power User Card cannot be worn. > Power User Card has a period of expiration of use. > Power User Card is a Cash-only avatar. > Power User doesn't have stats that increase the Power User holder's stats. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D. Detailed Explanations [DET] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this section, I will explain the benefits and downsides more in detail. ++++++++++++++++++ - Benefits [DET-1] ++++++++++++++++++ Extra 20% bonus GP and 10% bonus gold: > Power User holders receive bonus GP and bonus gold while playing the game. This means that the bonus will take effect after a game has ended (where the results are given and GP and gold are shown). The change is reflected immediately. This is the main focus of a Power User Card. No gold deduction penalty while playing the game: > If you've accidentally damaged yourself or your teammate (the minimum damage is 50 to get a penalty), you'd get a penalty. As a Power User, you're entitled to avoid this penalty. Just because you don't get a gold deduction penalty, it doesn't mean that you should start hitting your teammates recklessly for fun. Power User holders get an exclusive background avatar: > If you haven't purchased a background avatar yet, you'll get a special background avatar for being a Power User holder. Speech balloons have a nice golden color outline touch to it: > When you send a message in-game, your message balloon turns to a golden color instead of a regular blue color. This signifies that you own a Power User Card and have purchased it. Bragging rights purposes, if you ask me. In a waiting room, it returns to the blue color though. Your game room (or waiting room if you're not in-game yet) is displayed on the first page of the channel you're in: > When you acquire a Power User Card and want to make a Game Room, your Game Room will be on the first page of the channel. It will not be always as such especially if there are so many Power User Holders that are on the channel the Power User Holder is in too. However, that's already ten times better than having your game room at the very last page. +++++++++++++++++++ - Downsides [DET-2] +++++++++++++++++++ Players have to pay cash to be a Power User: > Yes, you have to pay in order to become a "Power User" and to be able to purchase the "Power User Card". You have to pay through PayPal, VISA etc. to have cash which will be used to purchase Cash-only avatars or avatars that can also be bought by Cash. A Cash-only avatar is the Power User Card which needs 4,000 Cash to purchase. Power User Card cannot be worn: > You cannot wear these like a usual avatar but the Power User Card gives out a big advantage to anyone who manages to have it. Power User Card has a period of expiration of use: > There is no Power User Card that has unlimited expiration of use irregardless of how much Cash you will be needing to purchase it. Power User Cards can expire for 1 week or 1 month. After they have expired on the specified time, you can re-purchase them to continue enjoying its benefits. Power User Card is a Cash-only avatar: > You cannot buy Power User Card through gold irregardless of how much gold you will be needing to purchase it. Using your Cash is the only way to do it. Power User doesn't have stats that increase the Power User holder's stats: > Power User holders doesn't get increase in Popularity, Attack, Delay, Defense, Item Delay, Bunge, Mobile Shield and Life when they purchase it. They only get the advantage as explained on the Benefits section. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E.
