We've moved even closer to alpha since the last news post. There's still two rather large features to push out of the way, but it's looking good. When we have a definite date, emails will be sent out to those who requested to be notified (email admin@wunderkin.com with subject "Alpha Account Notification", and you will receive an email back when we've got a date/time set! Tomorrow probably we'll be putting up a page where you can sign up automatically and verify that your email was indeed received and good.) Prices on alpha will be changing slightly. The first twenty alpha accounts sold will go for $25 USD as already noted on the alpha page ( www.wunderkin.com/alpha.php), but after that they will have a price drop to $20 each. You will have the option to choose the cheaper version of the two, but your number will be awarded after those first twenty accounts. I don't know that we will sell even those many, but you always have the option to choose a cheaper account (still including the free 15 Soulstones) if you wish to. Accounts start at #15, so #15-#34 will be $25 each, #35 onwards will go for $20. Other accounts are reserved for staff - admin, mods, and artists. It is a bit pricey for alpha, but it comes with 15 Soulstones free, so it's more worth it. The Soulstones that come with alpha accounts can be used for upgrading your account to benefit from a slightly extended gameplay, or to buy custom colored kins or items. Keep posting competition suggestions on the Wunderkin discussion forum, and participating in the currently open ones!

Thanks for the info, Daeros <3 I'm glad that the site is coming along well, and I bet it'll just be smooth-sailing from here. c: Even though $25 wasn't that steep to begin with, I think that was a decent move to make. There will probably be a lot of competition for the first twenty, though - they'd probably sell for $30, even if you didn't up the amount of Soulstones. The $20 will sell like crazy, too. I'm even more excited now I am kind of disappointed at the accounts starting at 15 - my favorite number's 11 - but oh well. I'm not a whiner. xDD

Ooh...I'm so excited! Quick question though (sorry if it's been answered already) but how are we going to be able to pay? I kind of assumed it would be Paypal, but I need verification!

Awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge up $25. I think I'd really like #16 or #18, if I'm quick enough to buy them!

Payment is through Paypal, yes.
effigy - when you post for your account, just make sure to include you want #16 or #18, whichever is available at the time of your post. If three or less people post before you (15, 16, and 17) you're guaranteed to get #18.

I wanted 13, but since I can't have that I'mma buy the $20 one.
Stupid falling exchange rate has made the price of the $25 one shoot up £5

Any possibility for Interact Online? I don't have a credit card to make a Paypal account with, either am I the age to even get a credit card. I don't know what you need for Interact Online, but I have done it before on other sites, but more known ones.
I don't know the ways in you getting another payment type. xD Just wondering if it will be easier for me.

Demmy, you can also use prepaid mastercard or visa gift cards to buy stuff over paypal. MasterCard gift cards are in 7/11 convenience stores, and I've found Visa gift cards in most A&P grocery stores.

I tired to sign up to Paypal to see if I could use my Interact, but I need to be 18 (how old you need to get a credit card). And, I understand that I can get a gift card Visa or such things like that, but the tax it a rip off. Soon it will be even more a rip off here where I live. It would be more convenient if I could save some money, time, gas, and trouble. I think a lot more people would be able to buy Alpha accounts if they where able to use Interact. Dx Not looking good for me, I guess.

I've seen other sites let you get free credits for completing third-party offers. Maybe that could be an idea.

InteracOnline seems to be a Canadian thing, and we're not Canadian-based. Unfortunately that's not going to be an option.
Third-party offers only work if you have third-party companies paying you for having people complete their offers. It's just not viable in this case. Alpha will be here soon, but there's free accounts to be given away from the Competitions, and even if you can't get one of those, the site will eventually be open and free to play.
