Can we rename "Gold" purchasable items?

[Archived Post]

OK, this is more of a suggestion, but I phrased it as a question to get past GMDestra. ;}

Looking at the matrix there are several items which are called "Gold" (Gold Archetypes, Gold Travel Powers, Gold Costume Sets). However,
1) These items are not limited to Gold members, since Silver players can purchase them.
2) The Gold members are not limited to these things (for example, Gold members do not need to use a Gold archetype -- they can use a Silver archetype or an Open character).

So can the team consider renaming them to be less confusing?

Thanks,

Premium sounds like it would work.

Premium was my first thought too, but it is already used for items that require purchase by anyone, such as Premium costume packs which are purchasable by Gold or Silver players.

This is sort of a middle level -- free for subs, purchasable by free players (like Adventure Packs, Gold archetypes, etc). It also needs to be distinguished from those rare items that are truly Gold-only, like Open characters.

Umm lessee... how about...

Pyrite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite)...

Pyrite items are free to Gold members, but pay for Silver... Silver members who buy them may LOOK Gold, but they're really not...

:D

How did you avoid my traps?!

Also, these items are now referred to as "Special" - check the Free-to-play matrix (http://www.champions-online.com/f2p_matrix) to see the new references. :)

Awesome suggestion, I second it.

Haha I replied to this thread instead of making a new topic.

I suppose this is a moot point since the name change is already official, but I've personally always liked the idea of something that's not quite gold, but not quite silver "lustrium".

But I guess Lustrium Archetypes and Lustrium Travel Powers don't roll off the tongue as well.

We renamed them to "Special". There was a lot of confusion and hopefully this alleviates most of it.
