Premium Features
Upgrade your Experience!
For an extra $25.00 per month, you can have all these cool additions:
Private Homes!
Premium members who maintain their membership for 90 consecutive
days are eligible to own a private
home in one of GemStone IV's many player neighborhoods!
Buy furniture and pets! Decorate in one of billions of possible
styles! Designate someone as your guest, allowing them to
enter your home even while you're offline!
Fifteen Extra
Characters!
Want to try something new? Eager to test that new spell we
just released? Here's your chance to roleplay all the unique
characters you've always wanted to create! Not one, not ten,
but fifteen extra character slots to play with -- and
all of them are eligible for Premium membership benefits!
More and Better Storage
Space!
More Locker Space: As a GemStone IV Premium member,
the locker capacity for all of your character slots is increased
by 30 items. Plus, Premium members may access all lockers
in all towns simulataneously (unless the locker is currently
being moved by the Paspartu brothers).
Locker Inventory Shipping: Premium lockers can be
swapped between two towns while the other towns remain accessible.
For example, the Wehnimers locker can be swapped (shipped)
with the Icemule locker. At the same time the lockers in the
other 6 towns will be fully accessible.
Locker Inventory Organization: Premium lockers contain
5 furniture items which can be used to sort items. In addition
to the 5 furniture items, the locker itself acts as a "sorting"
mechanism. When you drop something into your locker it will
be sorted and moved to the appropriate furniture item. Items
placed in/on the furniture items will not be sorted. Don't
be suprised when you type LOOK IN LOCKER and see
nothing, as you'll find your belongings in or on the furniture
items.
Type-Ahead Lines!
Tired of seeing "You can only type ahead one line"?
As a Premium member, you get an additional type-ahead line,
enabling you to type more commands into your buffer! For more
type ahead lines, participate in our Long
Term Incentives program.
Premium Merchants
Every month, Premium membership gives you access to special
Premium-only merchants, many of which are scheduled in advance
on our Premium
Event Calendar!
Special Halls, Town
and Services
Want a quiet place to relax or roleplay? Premium members have
access to a special clubhouse in each of GemStone's major
towns where they can chat, buy food, and more! They also have
access to the Isle of Four Winds, a lovely island
in the tropics with unique shopping, service merchants, long
term Premium membership offerings and more. Even getting
there is fun, with the help of Four Winds Teleport Jewerly,
available in every Four Winds Hall. Learn
more about Premium Four Winds Halls and the Isle of Four Winds!
Advance Ticket Sales!
Unique quests, auctions of rare and fantastic items, gladiatorial
combat, and GM-run merchants are the most popular and exciting
events in GemStone IV.
Some of these events are free, and exclusively for our Premium
customers. Others are available to anyone with purchase of
a ticket for U.S. dollars -- but Premium customers always
get the chance to sign up first!
Faster Customer Service!
We pride ourselves on our customer service! Simutronics offers
the deepest customer support in the entire online gaming industry,
with hundreds of Mentors, Hosts, GameMasters and Feedback
staff on duty throughout the week to handle your questions
and problems.
As a Premium member, you will gain access to faster assistance
lines to reach a GameHost and faster referral lines to speak
to a GameMaster. And letters sent to our Feedback department
by Premium members are also routed to a special mailbox and
answered first!
10% Discount on
Event Tickets!
Interested in signing up for one of our quests? Want to attend
SimuCon, our annual roleplaying
convention? As a Premium customer, you will receive an automatic
10% discount on all play.net event
tickets. Buy enough goodies, and your Premium membership
will pay for itself!
Long-Term Incentives
If you maintain a Premium subscription for one or more consecutive
years, you become eligible for long-term incentives. Each
year you may choose one benefit from the list, however most
incentives require a minimum number of years before you may
select them. Learn more about our
incentives program.
In addition, after one year of Premium you may apply for
membership in the Architectural
& Landscaping Association of Elanthia! Design your
own forests, dungeons, caverns and castles, build them with
powerful magical tools, and attract creatures with bait to
create your own hunting area!
