    OK, I just received my "Claim your SeedInvest Investor Perks" email. Since one of the perks is game access, I was planning on creating a new account to claim these rewards on so I have another account to play on (perhaps for a friend or family member). However, I want to give all of the "golden" items to Daxxe.

    @Berek - Can you please find out if the "golden" items in the first tier will be tradable to another account once I claim them in-game (and also if the emotes will be teachable or not)?

    We are unable to split perks unfortunately. They must remain on one account.

    Newly created accounts will be receiving Game Access, we just have to tie the perk (both Game Access and any lot deeds) to your accounts yet. This has lagged behind the other confirmations, but it will be added. Please standby on this being completed.

    Berek, I'm not asking you guys to split rewards between accounts. I just want to know if the items that I receive in-game will be tradeable to my other accounts? And will the emotes that I get on the claimed account be teachable or not?

    Emotes didn't say they were teachable - but the others that you claim in-game are tradeable.

    Thanks Lord Andernut. The SeedInvest page did not say whether the other items were tradeable or not either... yet, you say they are. Did a Dev confirm this somewhere?

    Since @Berek "liked" your post, are we to assume that this is an official confirmation that what you said is true?

    I'm not trying to be a PITA... I just want to have all my facts confirmed before I decide which account to claim this stuff on.

    If the emotes will not be treadeable, then I will have to decide whether I want to have an extra account for someone to play on, or have the emotes on my main account.

    Yes, Confirmed that emotes are teachable!

    Also, you will be able to trade the gold items after acquiring them.

    We are still working on getting all of these to show up on your SeedInvest linked accounts. Please allow us some time to complete the process, and for the other perks, to award them in R46 and R47.

    We're also going to start a SeedInvest Perks Q&A in the forums here to help consolidate these questions for all investors. Please standby on that.

    Either way, we can't use our accounts to bot on (not that anyone does that sort of thing) because @Atos will lay the smackdown on our whole family Seedinvest/devplus or not!

    Thank you Sir! I sincerely appreciate you checking into that for me and I'm sure others will benefit from the official response.

    Also, I think a SeedInvest - Q&A forum is a fantastic idea!

    Ok, I have created a new account to link to the SI investment rewards. I'll wait for the game access, etc. to be fixed before claiming my rewards via the email.

    I'd rather not get a partial set of rewards and then have to have Portalarium Support sort it out later. They have plenty of other stuff to do already. @Berek if you could just let us know here or in an announcement somewhere when the game access perk should be available to claim, that would be appreciated.

    Hi everyone! We're drafting up a SeedInvest Perks FAQ right now. We gathered up some common questions and concerns and will be posting answers shortly. Keep your eyes peeled!

    Are they Gold? There were Silver LB Rewards given out as rewards for his Birthday Bash Teleton... Those have been delivered... The Golden Seed Invest Perks have not yet been distributed. I just checked.

    I'm glad things are getting sorted out and, I hope something has been learned from the experience. I think this time the cart ("claim your perks") got in front of the horse (web page with FAQ)

    @Serafina I do have a question;

    If we're using this on a new account is it possible to upgrade the basic access to a bundle? I hate the idea of having to buy a bundle, which ofc has acct access on an acct that already has access.

    oh also. I'd like to see the totals and, how it broke down. In other words.. how many of each lvl package were sold?

    I can answer that with yes the game access we get (i already got) is upgradeable to bundles - I tried till payment but reclined because i wait for a discount on the bundles.... ;)

    Hi Serafina! Question for your FAQ... One of the perks is "Game Access". Without really thinking about it, I connected the whole thing to my main account that already had game access. However, what I was really hoping was to get game access on a new account. I was somehow thinking that we'd receive a code or something to apply to an account. Looking back at the perks list, it appears "game access" is connected to the $500 tier bundle. Am I to understand then that to get the game access perk, we should create a new account using the email address that we used for SeedInvest and then claim the rewards? Too late for me if that's true. Or will this be a giftable account item that we can send to another account? (Or ???)

    I would assume the game access follows the same rules as on bundles. Each of the bundles has this disclaimer on it:
    @Serafina The bolded part should probably also be added to the FAQ page.
