Site Update
This round of Teos has something different from the previous two! In this round, you can participate in an auction for a "PSD Use" of your favorite line set. That way, if you missed out on a certain Teo set, you can give another shot at getting one!
Teo PSD Use Auctions!
The auctions are based on a tier system, where your auction reward increases based on the final bid:
$5 - $99 -- PSD Use of Teo. Send an admin the colored image and it will be uploaded over your "blank Teo."
$100 - $149 -- Comes with MDT Your Teo will come with an MDT so you can commission one of our MDT artists to color it.
$150 - $199 -- Skilled Teo! Your Teo will come with all Hidden Item adventure skills as well as the Lockpick skill.
$200 - $249 -- Breeding Pair! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, and two MDTs. Great for bidding with a friend!
$250+ -- Breeding Upgrade! You will get two Skilled Teos of the base you won, two MDTs, and a Rare PMBC Pack. Great for bidding with a friend!
Note that these auctions DO NOT count toward Bonus Credit!
These auctions end in seven days, so have fun and enjoy them! Be nice and don't hurt each other over the Teos! ;)
And thank you for voting for us in the Chase grant contest! Keep voting -- there's no harm in having more than the minimum number of votes to qualify!
We have a very, very big change planned for June and we had hoped that this sale will help provide some "financial padding" for the change... we think you're going to like it, as it's been asked for for a while! Please purchase what you can so we can confidently give it a shot!
TO CLARIFY- These auctions are NOT to drive the new change. These auctions are intended to raise the $17,000 promised to the Teo artists if their sets sold on the first day (170 sets x $100 bonus). Because most people spent bonus credit saved up over months on the Teos instead of spending USD in the sale to get them, we are now severely in the hole again and will not be able to pay people anymore (programmers, artists, server, etc) if we cannot make this money to pay the artists. It was an oversight with the implementation bonus credit and will be rectified if we survive this mistake.

A Teo Pot. That would be... that would be really great! Like, I could just put some cash in a little at a time, over the course of how ever long, and eventually cash it in for a Teo egg to use at "Insert this Event". I love that idea. But like, I'd want that kind of Teo to be a guarantee instead of a chance. Or just being able to buy Teo lines outright for X amount.
If it does go the way of the wind, ample time to either cash it in or use it at any time on like... a year round bonus credit tier, would make me feel a ton better.
Like I'd get the option to be 'Hmm.. I've got $10 I can spend on Aywas this month... How about I buy this for $X in the USD Shop and put $X in the Teo pot! Now I can get this neat thing for $X credit I've been wanting for a while."
To me, I've always seen the bonus credit as encouragement to spend/put into the USD Shop.
Kind of like a Aywas 401K program.

I think one thing people need to keep in mind as far as it seems everyone is blaming build up bonus. I don't think it would have been such an issue had people not pushed to receive credit for the USD fundraiser auctions as it sorta defeated the purpose, especially with an upcoming teo event. =/
In short: it's not just months of build up(lot of people did buy those transitional eggs at 100 not long ago), but a lot of things this month that have factored into this situation.

Valice & Fenris (#20488) You just list the e-mail of your paypal account in the bidding where it says "Paypal Address".

...maybe, if artists wanted to, they could opt to get another unique edit teo in place of their bonuses? Then, if they sell them for either GP for paintbrushes, people will be buying GP/paintbrushes to get the uniques. Or, they could just keep it.

Slash has not said anything about what will happen to bonus credit, but I'm sure if it were to expire we would be given PLENTY of warning and plenty of time to spend it before that happened.
The most likely thing I could see happening is probably selling the Teo eggs for events like this for USD in the future rather than bonus credit (so the site is getting a straight 50$ or 75$ or whatever per Teo rather than 100$ in credit that the user has already received 100$ of items/GP for). -OR- making a straight up "Teo bonus" pot where you pay USD in directly and it saves money for you to get a Teo when they're released. Then Teos are still getting bought directly with USD instead of basically being free with a purchase of 100$ of items/GP.
But, I'm not Slash and nobody knows what he's planning to do to fix the bonus credit issue. I highly doubt bonus credit will expire though, so I wouldn't worry too much about that D:

Possibly allow artists to opt out of bonuses or choose an amount less than 100$. Or, offer them the option to make another OOAK on the lines rather than getting the bonus for it (could be an option next time a Teo sale happens.). I think the auctions are the really cool idea though and would honestly love to see them happen every time a Teo sale happens (and if you give the artists the option to make 2 OOAKs instead of a receiving a bonus that PSD could just not be put up for sale in the USD auctions).
