The link you provided discusses the strategy involved in reducing and simplifying the pledge tiers. Forum tiers, however, were recently changed to reflect influence only, as per the April 6th update:

Wow, LOL well yeah this isn't the first time new posts totally change old posts information with really no rhyme or reason.

Information should be organized better in sticky posts or an information FAQ and updated accordingly.

They cannot hope to manage a playerbase with this kind of lackadasical approach. The store is still broken with regards to Count tier as well. I guess they figure it's only a few hundred really active people on the forums, users haven't really ramped up yet - they probably think they have time.

It's just not that hard to take a day and organize information. They clearly don't have any OCD people working for them. It would bug the crap outta them how this website is.

I'm having the same issue. I paid for Mayor Package when on 10% discount, so the price was equivalent to Proprietor Package. Thus my Forum Tier is now 6 instead of 7 and my Influence Points is lower aswell. 2250 instad of 2500.

Not a big deal I guess, it'll probably be fixed sooner or later.

You're at the correct tier. 2250 influence is Tier 6.

No I'm no at the correct tier. I know how the tier systems works. But as I said I bought the Mayor Package which according to the wiki is Tier 7.

Reason I posted here is because there might be a bug with Forum Tiers, people getting Tier and IP based on how much you paid, and not what you paid for.

The forum tiers go off of influence, not package, as you bought the package on sale at $225 you have 2250 IP, not 2500 IP, which is required for Tier 7. It's just displayed in the store package levels to show you how they worked out the IP need for each tier.

Click your name in the top right. It'll list your pledge package on the general info.

Barghest is quite right though. Forum borders are based on IP, which for the moment is cash spent.

Ok, guess I misunderstood how IP and tiers work then. So my forum tier and IP would be higher if I bought package for full price?

Ty for answers tho ;)

Hi. I have the same problem: I pledged for Bloodline, and this reflectes me as tier 3 with 1125 IP. However, it should be tier 4 with 1200 IP.

I have checked your links and look for oficial info. They all idetify the packages with X tier and X IP. They don't specify if the sales ALSO decreases the tier number.

Your theory makes sense, but they didn't say it anywhere, so, I'm not sure if this is right or if this is an actual bug. Has anyone checked this out with the SUpport Service?

Thanks for the anwers :)

IP is 10 x ($$ spent + store credit earned). If you spend less money because the package is on sale, you will earn less IP. It's not really fair to everyone else, otherwise.

I didn't know that formula! Thank you very much.

Tier 4 is 1200 IP and above, if you have 1125 IP then tier 3 is the correct tier for you.

I'm glad someone else pointed this out! Yes this is the process. I have an alt account with a KS Count tier. My IP is only 5000 because of it! You are in the correct tier based on the money you spend. Remember IP is not EP~!
