News Store & Forum changes

[Patrick]

Starting May 19th 2024, all forums will be set to a read-only state (except the store support sub-forum)

The store support sub-forum is still strictly for help with a store purchase when you have an issue. Posts made there that are not related to a purchase will be deleted.

 

The store will be closing on September 25th 2024 and a new store integrated within the game will be made available.

This new store, when made available will bring a rebranding and pricing structure change to the current Premium subscription; the subscription will be renamed to PV+ and will be $10/month and have a cheaper version called PV+ Lite priced at $3/month which includes all the benefits of PV+ minus the monthly Mystery Boxes.

In addition to this, the new store will see the country restrictions lifted for all locations that are currently unable to purchase from the store. (This restriction lift is a trial basis and may be put back into place at any time)

 

Starting May 25th 2024 Gift cards will no longer be purchasable from the current store.

 

All gift cards and account credit balances must be used/spent by September 25th 2024, they will not carry over to the new store.

 

On September 25th 2024, the forums will be shut down completely and the domain forums.pokemon-vortex.com will have a permanent redirect to www.pokemon-vortex.com.

 

There will be forum-like channels set up on our Discord server to report bugs, provide ideas and feedback and report players for scams and various rule breaking.

 

 

FAQ

Why is the forums being shut down?

• It has become apparent that forums are no longer a desired method of communication for Pokémon Vortex's demographic. Many players find them confusing to navigate and unhelpful in conversing in a timely fashion.

What will happen to my store credit if I don't use it by September 25th 2024?

• It will no longer be usable. Please try and use any store credit and gift cards you may have as soon as possible. If you feel like you won't be able to, come and speak to me on Discord explaining why and I will see what can be done for you if the reasoning is valid.

Will my current PayPal auto-renewal for my Premium subscription carry over to the new store?

• No, all automatic payment methods will be cancelled prior to the opening of the new store. You will then need to wait for your current Premium subscription to end before you can move over to the new PV+ or PV+ Lite.
