Premiums are grandfathered in: if they've subscribed a total of 3 months at any time, they have access to all chat channels. All Premiums (meaning all returning players) have by definition applied a retail code so they all have access to at least /tell.


(Whew! I think I got it finally.)
Almost. For Free players, if they spend $30 they will have enough tokens for all channels. 1 for the first purchase of any points (everybody gets this, even if you only buy $5 in points.) then 1 for each 1200 points they buy. (Note that a $15 purchase actually gets them 1320 points, and the extra 120 bonus points count toward another Reward token.)

Access to broadcast and global channels requires 5 reward tokens. Not 3.

Meaning it's $45, not $30, like I said.

C.f. Snow Globe's guide.

Tier: 1 -- Free, 1 Token
Tier: 2 -- Any purchase, 2 Tokens
Tier: 3 -- 5 Tokens, all chat channels

So you basically get two tokens for any purchase, then it's $15 x (5 - 2) = $15 x 3 = $45 for the Tier 3.

Tricksie, but I think I'm getting it. The first purchase counts as part of the first $15. So if you buy $5, you're Tier 2, and then you only have to spend $10 to get a third token. I think that's what is tripping everybody up. Myself included, because I had to be corrected at least three times on this stuff.

After you get the third token, then it's a straight $15 per token. Or 1 month subscription per token, if you're VIP.
