I'm also intrigued by what you mean exactly by "price change". I can see this as a currency change from your perspective, at least, but how is it a price change? Is it something terrible like some AAA companies have been doing for years, where the same offer costs €10 by default if your account is based in Europe, but $10 if you buy it from the US shop (instead of the USD equivalent of €10).

Hi DvDivXXX, At the reset where we got 3 new bundles priced in Euros that everyone is talking about. I received my bundles in CDN, as I always do, as I play in Canada. I went to work and when I came back, everything was priced in euros, and Im not talking about the euro value equivalent, at least for me, my packages went from 19.99 CDN to 19.99 EUROS. Euros are valued at x1.5 my currency rate, so please fix this or have better worthwhile packages. Literally the majority of the bundles value is the event pachinko and its using combativity as a disguise, the event pachinko is locked to only 4 girls for an 8 day period and the last 6 bundles gave out like what? 12 spins total? gg no re but we'll still buy yknow, its just upsetting and underhanded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this has been the case for years. Some other currencies (I only know AUD off the top of my head because that's my currency) do have more proper conversions, but Euro and USD are 1:1 for Kinkoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial reply to my Support Ticket indicates that this "change" wasn't necessarily intended.... I have not attempted a bundle purchase to see if it's a "visual bug" since Euros aren't at a favorable exchange rate for me. 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I'm not a Kinkoid employee, just a player and forum moderator. I certainly don't have any say in how they design or price their real-money offers. -------- Anyway, local currency suddenly getting replaced with € for players outside of Europe, especially just the currency with the price tags staying unchanged seems weird enough that it might be unintended. I'm sure a bunch of reports were made on this issue already, but perhaps @Noacc will be able to tell us more here. -------- If that's here to stay, can I change my account's location to South Korea? Some of those high-price, low-value bundles tailor-made for whales would become pretty good at that price. /jk /s ^^ 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do think it may be unintended, I had followed up with support and they asked for my ip to look into it. Side note: Whale transactions in South Korean won will fund irl squid games 2022, best to avoid that 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornyCat Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) This is yet again another example of why I think that the people in charge of doing this, do NOT actually play this game, otherwise doing things like this most likely would not happen. DOH!! LOL I'm also not finding the Thread of what it is they are doing. It says to visit the Forum to find out, yet I'm not seeing anything about this.

WiiWii1212 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 This was pretty bad timing, what were they thinking? Sniping the first place of contest is one of the best things on the game, and they do this update right in the last minutes!! Btw, how long are usually this maintenances ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, why do updates at all during daytime in Europe? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inuzuka Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Damnit, I had one daily mission left to collect, so this maintenance means I missed out on today's 150 kobans :( 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isonitro Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 It looks like a panic shutdown. The energy got screwed up so they were obviously fiddling with something and then all of a sudden shut it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojot Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 MF'ers back at it again. Gladly I got my 150 kobans and didn't leave it for the last second. A minute of silence for our brothers and sisters who wasted resources on the yestedays contest and didn't finish daily missions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today's update is not a normal update, it seems they have a very nasty bug they had to fix (no idea what it might be, but shit happens).
