Suggestion for TLRPG Beta Testing Rewards
I would like to share a suggestion regarding the recent announcement about grabbing VIP Emerald for exclusive benefits, rewards, and future advantages.
While I understand the importance of supporting the project financially, this system feels quite harsh for many of us who have been actively supporting TLRPG since the beta testing phase through continuous participation, grinding, and feedback.
Many beta testers may not currently be able to afford VIP Emerald, but they may be able to invest in the coming months. If these exclusive opportunities are limited now, it creates a situation where long-term beta supporters could miss out permanently, while future public players with more financial resources may advance much faster simply because they can spend more money immediately.
For example, imagine 100 dedicated pioneers who have been testing and supporting the game from the beginning, grinding hard for years, but cannot afford VIP Emerald right away. Later, when the game goes public, new players with larger budgets may quickly gain major advantages over those loyal early supporters.
My suggestion is to offer recurring VIP Emerald opportunities specifically for beta testers—perhaps every 1 or 2 months during the beta phase. This would give loyal supporters a fairer chance to access these important benefits over time, while still rewarding their dedication and contribution to the development of TLRPG.
This approach would help maintain fairness, strengthen community loyalty, and better recognize the players who helped build the game from its early stages.
