Playershops Update: Evictions (ouch!) and Claiming your Shop Crate

NEWS: GM Eusah announced an update to better Playershops: Claiming your crate after an eviction just got automated – and naggy! You won’t miss your items this way, for sure! On the other hand, please remember to go to your player shop at least once every 90 days and issue SHOP INFO, even if no inventory needs to be added! Details on the new reminders:

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes to fully automate Playershops once again! As part of this update, we’re introducing a feature to help players know when to collect their evicted crate. Starting today, any player with a Playershop crate ready for pickup will receive a daily reminder until the crate is collected or eventually deleted. Below is an example scenario that will describe the flow:

Example:

Player last steps foot into their shop on January 1, 2024 (01/01/2024)
Shop will be marked abandoned on March 31, 2024 (03/31/2024)
Shop will be evicted on April 1, 2024 (04/01/2024)
Player will begin receiving daily messages to retrieve their crate (04/01/2024)
Shop crate will be deleted on June 30, 2024 (06/30/2024)
