Rewards system implemented
2024-01-11
The second part of the major changes in The Lone Detective structure are now in use - the rewards system that will award the active users even if they are not the donors.
As you might have noticed, the first premium case was made available a few days ago, which can be accessed for the Premium Tokens. Premium Tokens are the points that you get for making a donation to support The Lone Detective and the work we put into the project.
But now you can also earn the Premium Tokens through solving the cases. For the Level 3 cases you will solve you can be awarded 1 Premium Token, for Level 4 case 3 Premium Tokens and for Level 5 case 5 Premium Tokens. Put together, they could give you enough tokens to access a premium case, if not, you can use them for the help of the informant to solve other cases.
Also, solving the premium cases will get you some Premium Tokens back - for solving Level 3 you can be awarded 10 Premium Tokens back, for Level 4 case 20 Premium Tokens and for Level 5 case 30 Premium Tokens.
