If, like myself, you're not on Discord and you tried to play Soulkeep the last day or 2 you would have been in for an unpleasant surprise.
As you can see you now need staked SPS to play League 5 and beyond.
Last night I woke up and started my pre-work routine. I went to do my daily Soulkeep run and was hit with the above stake requirement. I saw and replied in Clayboyn's Soulkeep poll and figured this day would come but thought we'd have a DAO vote first. Double Coconut decided to jump right in I guess and set things in motion.
I checked for some kind of word on this and finally found a video from AfterSound Gaming on Youtube posted 2 days ago where they talk about DC mentioning staking requirements on Discord.
Video here...
Here are the new stake requirements per League cut from the vid...
These amounts are required to be able to play in the tournaments. If not done, one can supposedly still do the League qualifier maps. I can't confirm myself as I already have League 5's maps done and suddenly found myself unable to play Soulkeep at all since I don't have 40k SPS and we can only play our current League.
I reached out to Clayboyn unsure of what to do now and headed off for work. When I got home Clayboyn had replied and said DC had just posted a notice on Discord for anyone who is in this situation to submit a support ticket. Thank you so much Clayboyn for your help as I never would have seen it otherwise. Here is the link to the DC support page for anyone who needs it. https://doublecoconut.freshdesk.com/support/home
I submitted a support ticket for myself and am currently awaiting being dropped to League 4 so I can play again. If anyone else is currently in a League they don't have the SPS for, you will need to go ahead and submit a ticket and let support know what League to drop you to.
As everyone knows there is no de-leveling cards so I feel for anyone who may have leveled their cards beyond where they can use them now. Personally I lucked out a little and hadn't fully maxed my cards to my League yet.
Does this change anyone's Soulkeep or Splinterlands plans going forward?
I'm personally torn on if I'm going to buy the needed SPS to return to L5 or not and completely abandon Splinterlands since the SPS is one or the other now. Gods L5 Cheapo with its 2 uses is game changing. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stand only being able to use it once per game again.
