There has been a lot of chat regarding VIP status, is this real and how do I qualify, I am CEO on HL and DL and play BL at brigadier lvl. I run a free raiding policy in my groups and need to be able to support my members with strength of troops when they call on me for help.
Difficult to maintain troop levels when I offer support to others, any help would be great.
Thank you
First off, it's a lottery.
Here's a list of what is known to contribute to your chances of being picked (nothing is guaranteed at any point).
- How much you spend monthly (seems to contribute the largest amount to your chance)
- How active you are (time spent in the game, what you do in the game etc)
Pretty sure there's a third point, but I cannot recall right now (2 might be a combination of those I saw on Plarium's list).
Benefits of being a VIP
- Enhanced package deals
- Troop revival discounts
- Advanced notice on certain tournaments (perhaps one of the most useful perks, especially when involving combine tourneys)
- Advanced notice of MC drops
- Access to a support rep (from what I've seen they're not always around, but it is a direct line to support)
- Free stuff
There is more, but again I cannot recall the rest atm.
1, 2, and 6 are not constant, but do appear from time to time for VIPs only.
3 and 4 are not constant either. Only some tourneys and MC drops will be notified to each player. Overall, advanced MC drop will be given to the player-base every time, but not necessarily to every member of the VIP group.
You can use 5 to gain some additional insights into the game mechanics, although they don't seem to give much beyond hints. For stuff beyond their hints, you can ask in the forums. If I know (and it's not a game breaking mechanic) I will help out.
