Indeed, the game, which became unavailable on January 18, has since gone back online as of Jan. 20, according to a post from the game's developer, Second Dinner. On Friday, in a bid to makeup for the game's unavailability, the developer's revealed a "Welcome Back" compensation package for gamers, including those not in the United States.

In a post on Twitter, Second Dinner wrote, "This disruption of service is more than just an unfortunate blip in our eyes. As such, we are not only committed to making up for this disruption, but we want to welcome back players, new and old, with some extra goodies to celebrate."

Players Are Being Compensated Massively

Per the post details, players in the U.S. over Collection Level 500 will receive:

  • 2 Spotlight Keys
  • 5000 Season Pass XP
  • 4150 Credits
  • 6200 Collector’s Tokens
  • 1000 Gold
  • 5 Gold Conquest Ticket
  • 3 Infinite Conquest Ticket
  • 4000 Conquest Medals
  • 1 Mystery Variant
  • 6 Premium Mystery Variants
  • 1 Cosmic Red Border (Super Rare)
  • 3 Cosmic Gold Border (Super Rare)
  • 155 x5 Random Boosters

Those under Collection Level 500 will get:

  • Mystery Series 3 Cards
  • 5000 Season Pass XP
  • 7150 Credits
  • 1000 Gold
  • 1 Mystery Variant
  • 6 Premium Mystery Variant
  • 1 Cosmic Red Border (Super Rare)
  • 3 Cosmic Gold Border (Super Rare)
  • 155 x5 Random Boosters

And those not in the United States over Collection Level 500 will be treated to a package with:

  • 2 Spotlight Key
  • 3000 Collector’s Tokens
  • 1500 Credits
  • 1 Mystery Variant
  • 1 Premium Mystery Variant
  • 1 Cosmic Gold Border (Super Rare)
  • 1 Cosmic Red Border (Super Rare)
  • 155 x3 Random Boosters

Similarly, those under Collection Level 500 outside the U.S. will receive:

  • 6 Mystery Series 3 Cards
  • 3000 Credits
  • 1 Mystery Variant
  • 1 Premium Mystery Variant
  • 1 Cosmic Gold Border (Super Rare)
  • 1 Cosmic Red Border (Super Rare)
  • 155 x3 Random Boosters

In other words, it's a pretty massive "make-good" package, with even those outside the U.S. being compensated as Second Dinner recognizes that they too were impacted by the outage. It's not too dissimilar to the package Sony provided PlayStation 3 owners following the PSN outage of 2011. That said, Second Dinner is aware of how good the U.S. gift is and has noted that VPN spoofing will not work. Either way, it's a welcome gesture that almost certainly goes above and beyond.
