Kingdom Karnage: September Vote

This vote is so significant it deserves its own Medium page!

*** Update: This change was voted through with 70% of votes supporting this proposal, read more here: https://t.me/KK_announcements/775 ***

We’re fast approaching this month’s Midas Vote (21st - 28th of September) and wanted to give you guys a heads up about the vote subject so you can have some thinking time on this one.

Background

Currently, all character levels can be sold on the auction house which means characters available for sale are spread over 10 levels. We’ve noted this is making it difficult to both find, compare and value items; this is something we expect to only worsen as the game grows and new characters are added.

Proposed Solution

We propose limiting auction house trading to only levels 1 and 10 of common/uncommon/rare characters (Levels 2 to 9 will be removed from the auction house). In addition to making changes to the auction house, we will also add functionality to reset levelled-up common/uncommon/rare characters back to the original number of level 1 characters (which can then be traded).

Making this change will increase liquidity (availability of characters). This should save users time comparing items and should help ensure that everyone gets a fair market price for their items.

We respect that Epic and Legendary characters do not have the same issues as the other character rarities. By their nature, Epic and Legendary characters are much rarer and so their will always only be a small number on the auction house. Epic and Legendary characters also have a separate levelling process involving enchanted coins which creates additional problems if they were reset. For these reasons, Epic and Legendary characters will not be involved in these changes and will remain from levels 1 to 10 on the auction house.

Please note:
- Dynamic characters, hero equipment and other items will be unaffected by this change.
- Rentals will be an independent system from the auction house and will not be affected by this proposal.

Resetting Characters

As mentioned above resetting common/uncommon/rare characters to level 1 will be implemented at the same time as the auction house changes. To stop the market from being flooded with level 1 characters there will be a staggered fee for resetting characters during the first month:

Week 1: 1000 KKT per reset
Week 2: 500 KKT per reset
Week 3: 100 KKT per reset
Week 4: 10 KKT per reset
Week 5: Free reset
Week 6: Pricing as per below

The pricing model for resetting characters from week 6 onwards will be 1 KKT per level, so resetting a level 10 character to 512 level 1 characters will cost you 10 KKT.

Epic and Legendary characters will not be able to be reset to their level 1 variants.

The Vote

As normal, the vote will go up around 12:00 UTC on the 21st of the month. All voters will be directed to this medium article to read the proposal and then simply be given two options “FOR” and “AGAINST” to indicate if you support the proposal or not.

This is a big decision so please give it some serious thought. We look forward to the discussions on Telegram & Discord (Links below).
