With V_r709145.WizardDev or the initial update of the Fall 2021 Test Realm on 8th November, we were getting indications of a rather self explanatory "MembershipLoyalty" feature. Below is the "MembershipLoyalty.lang" file introduced to Root with this update.

(Spring TR) V_r715879.WizardDev

It's finally here! This wouldn't actually be enabled until later in on test realm but for archival purposes this feature was included with the **spring test realm. **Please read the very cool information box below, along with some additional info.

1. Yes, the tokens cap is 12. At some point you will have to spend tokens to get more. Your tier is equal to the tokens you get each month.

2. This feature is known as "Loyalty Program" officially - and is server sided, so we can't tell what will be added at a later date.

3. The **Chaos Wizard Hat **is here! This is from the Shadow elegant set, and leaves the robe and shoes to go...

Today's changes to the files mainly brings the re-brand of Member Tokens to Loyalty Tokens into various art associated with the feature. Though, twelve of the Vendor NPCs are added with what's likely test items, such as elixirs.

With today's changes, any mention of "Member tokens" is replaced with "Loyalty tokens", a new Purchase Log UI (and supporting code) was added. Also a lot of "behind-the-scenes" stuff was added to test this feature, like CS GUI's and various new classes/properties.

According to this data, there seems to be a Loyalty Cap and a forced spend at a certain threshold.

SpendSomeTokensBeforeClaim

You have to spend some Tokens before you can claim any more!
TokenBalanceExceedLoyaltyCap

Your current Token Balance is #1:$MTBALANCE$, which is above or equal the cap of #2:$MTCAP$

So far, our understanding of the feature is as follows (unofficial):

1. For every month your membership is renewed, you can claim a Loyalty Token.

2. The longer you're a member, the more tokens you get per month up to 4. This is known as a tier. There is a tier demotion trigger, likely dropping Membership.

3. You can use the tokens you get to buy stuff from the Loyalty shop (see below), though you can't hoard tokens as you are forced to spend tokens before claiming more at a certain unknown threshold.

As time went on, this feature was further developed, from the background of the Loyalty Store, to the help text for the Membership Loyalty store, helping us to further understand the upcoming feature.

In short, from what we know, tokens are earned by recurring memberships, longer membership allows access to more tokens per month. You can then buy things with tokens. The files do indicate that there is a Tier demotion trigger, though there isn't much information on that.
