Upload Token System

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, we recently added upload tokens on Era. There has been some confusion about the system so I will try to clear it up.

Upload tokens work like gralats, except they can only be used to purchase custom graphics uploads, such as heads, bodies, or shields. Refunding uploads now gives you upload tokens instead of gralats. If you purchase an upload, it will take upload tokens before it takes gralats. If you have no upload tokens, the upload system will work the same as usual, and take the full cost in gralats. If you have enough upload tokens to cover the full cost of the upload, it will only take upload tokens. If you have some upload tokens, but not enough to fully pay for the upload, it will remove all of your upload tokens and then take gralats to make up the difference. For example, if you want to upload a head, and you have 0 upload tokens, it will cost 20k gralats. If you have 20k upload tokens, the head will be paid for entirely with upload tokens and not cost any gralats. If you have 10k upload tokens, the head will be paid for with all 10k upload tokens, and then 10k gralats to make up the difference.

Unfortunately, we had to switch to this system due to a serious exploit that was allowing some players to abuse the refund system to gain gralats for nothing. It was an issue we tried to fix in other ways first, but the problem exists in server code that we do not have access to, so this was the best solution available to us. If you have any questions about the system, feel free to post them here.

By refunding your custom, it gives you those tokens instead of gralats which can laters be used to upload with them.

I know how to do the upload glitch, although I didnt want my 300k gralats reset and being jailed for 2 weeks

I have an idea that would work around it basically dont think I can say much but it's something they can control I do believe

So you can buy a upload with either tokens or graalats correct like noyhing rlly changed?

Yeah, we tried to keep it close to how it was before. You can still use gralats as well as upload tokens, but all refunds are in upload tokens now.

We figured players getting free uploads from the glitch was not as bad as players getting free gralats. It is still against the rules to abuse the glitch as well.

This is the best way to get in contact with me currently. If I turn private messages on in game I get swamped with them and it's really hard to sort through them.

Yeah.... no one is expected to like this update. It is something that we had no choice but to add.

Thanks for you clarification about Upload tokens. It will be easy to use now.

Lmao

I replied to the PM on May 12th, though it can be hard to notice when you get a PM. I try to check my PMs every day but there are days when I'm just not online. Look to see if the red "Notifications" button near the top right of the forums is lit up for you.

You only responded to my first message when I tested it and said lmk if you see this as far as I saw/know.

Is it that hard to view pms lol

That was the only message I received, as far as I can see. Send it again I reckon, and we will hope for the best!

I would like to talk about the new update they have done with the tokens. They should when they want to sell an upload that you no longer want, they should give them the same amount of tokens with which they bought the upload, I mean that if I, for example, buy a head, the head as we all know is worth 20,000 gralats if I have some time with That head and I don't want it anymore and I want to buy another one so give the corresponding amount, which is 20,000 tokens. That was it and Thank you very much.

You can get a full refund of any upload within 2 hours.
