📈 MYO Slot & MYO Add-On Price Increases

On August 1st, we will be increasing the prices on various items sold for real-life currency (USD) in the MYO Slot Shop.
Due to the fee that payment processors such as PayPal take on our business account, we will need to raise the rates of any items which cost $3 or less (for instance, when we make a $2 sale, PayPal takes $0.60, which is a 30% fee).
Normally, our exchange rate is $0.01 = 2 seashells. For the following items, this will not be the case. These will be the only items whose seashell-to-dollar ratio will not be 1:2, as there is no need to double the seashell price.

These are the only items changing in price:

• Random Special Trait Increases from $1 / 200 to $3 / 250
• Common Blepper MYO Slot increases from $2 / 400 to $3 / 450
• Common Goom MYO Slot increases from $2 / 400 to $3 / 450

The following items will also receive a slight price increase as they are pure upgrades to the prior items and should not cost the same amount:

• Chosen Special Trait increases from $3 / 600 to $4 / 700
• Uncommon Blepper MYO Slot increases from $3 / 600 to $3.50 / 650
• Uncommon Goom MYO Slot increases from $3 / 600 to $3.50 / 650

You can purchase the above items before the price increase on August 1st from the MYO Slot Shop (for USD) and Slay's Concessions (for Seashells).

I (SlayersStronghold) do apologize for any anger or unrest this may cause. I've done my best to keep prices reasonable for the last 10 years in the ARPG, but due to increasing tax rates, these fees do add up, and a few prices of items must be raised. Below is an additional topic up for discussion that I'd like the community to weigh in on before I make any decision.

Options when it comes to handling the Sand Dollar premium currency:

1. Remove Sand Dollars from the MYO Slot shop permanently?
2. Sand Dollars also receive a price increase?
3. Only sell Sand Dollars in a bundle to retain their $1 = 1 Sand Dollar ratio?

Option One 1️⃣

• Sand Dollars are described as a premium currency, which is usually meant as a currency players can purchase with real-life funds. If we decide to remove them from being purchased with real-life currency, we will also ensure to change the wording and remove all mentions of "premium currency".
• This currency's drop rates would remain the same and still be earnable through activities like exploration, games, events, etc. Earning Sand Dollars through the game would not change

Option Two 2️⃣

• Sand Dollar price increases from $1.00 to $2.00
• This currency is meant to be a 1:1 dollar ratio, at this time we only make $0.40 for each $1.00 spent, so by raising the price $1 wile we will still be taking a $0.60 (30%) fee on these purchases, we would still be receiving at least the intended 1:1 dollar value.

Option Three 3️⃣

• Make a bundle of no less than 5 Sand Dollars costing $5.
• Ideally, we could even do a larger bundle than that.

Note from SlayersStronghold - "I favor options 1 and 3. Also, next update will be adding an option to buy Sand Dollars with Seashells from Darwin's Exchange Center."
