    As a special limited time promotion we are rewarding all players who login by the end of May with two rewards! The first reward is a miniature greyhound pet, inspired by the lovable "Mojito" (pet of Chris "Atos" Spears). The second reward is a 3-story Wood & Plaster Row Home which is an extra floor upgrade from the default home that comes with the free row lot that all players receive.

    To receive the rewards, simply login to the game before the end of May and check your rewards tab!

    Since we cannot place the greyhound on our lots as deco (since it is flagged no-trade), then I would suggest replacing the dog pic for one where it has the pet flag from being summoned. This since it gives the wrong impression.

    @Spoon Hopefully they can one day reconcile a no-trade flag with placeable objects. It would be nice if placing such an item automatically flags it as owner-only as opposed to refusing placement permissions.

    Also annoying is that we can't hide something away in a box, and it cannot be destroyed - it must be in your inventory or in your bank (unless it can be sold to a vendor?).

    I suspect that Port was not aware that they were not placeable and are addressing it as we speak.

    Does this indicate that there are going to be regular (monthly) rewards for all backers? If so, I have a couple questions/suggestions.

    Should these be tied into the monthly theme (which would then help drive sales toward the monthly goals)? For example, in July we generally have a Lord British theme to celebrate his birthday. A login reward for July might be a Lord British Cape (the Cloak without the effect, basically). You can include an in-game letter that says what the monthly pledge rewards are and how you can earn them (bonus points if they are on a deco LB card that you can place).

    Also, please make sure that these rewards don't directly compete with the player market. The free home is just like the one you can get from vendors for in-game gold, so its not a big deal; I like how its only 3-Story so it doesn't compete with the player-crafted homes that are in more demand. Its just a slippery slope, so be sure to consider what impact certain rewards will have.

    Thanks!

    Would also be nice to receive a puzzle peace every month, that results after 12 months into a specific portrait, a scene from New Britannia or a Virtue ...
    ... which can be used as decoration :)

    I expect to feel really dumb since I'm surely missing something but when logging into the game and checking the Rewards window I see nothing beyond the housing guide. Am I doing it wrong?

    Leave the window open for a bit while it refreshes the dog and home are inside a bundle named Login Reward.

    I popped on for a couple of hours to try your idea but still no luck. In any case, thank you for your help.

    Try typing the word "log" (without the quotes) into the filter field. that is what I had to do to find it.

    No items are returned for "log" (sans quotes). Literally the only think in there is the "Places to Live" note. Double-checked the bank for "log" also to be sure I didn't accidentally store it but still no luck unfortunately.

    Check your inventory and filter there. Everyone got this reward and you can also try your bank. The reward window is the treasure chest last icon in the upper right hand of your screen. So check there, check inventory, check bank. You can filter all 3. Then if no luck click on the bug report and paste your info into the window to let the devs know. Best wishes to you.

    Are you positive you are clicking on the treasure chest icon at the top right labeled Rewards? Just making sure.
