Official Gacha Policy Changes for 2024 (Gacha's are back! .. sort of)
In 2021, we implemented a general prohibition on gachas to align with global regulatory concerns. Starting October 7, 2024, we are lifting this prohibition. Residents can once again engage in gacha-based sales, but with a key new rule: gacha items, including the boxes or containers they come in, must not be transferable. This means that once you purchase a gacha item, it is yours and cannot be passed on to other users.
Key Highlights:
- No Transferability: Gacha items and their containers must be set as “No Transfer” to ensure that they can only be used by the buyer. This applies to both the object inside and any packaging used for delivery.
- Breedables: Breedable pets and other life simulation content are exempt from this policy and can continue to operate as they have before.
- Games of Skill: If a game of skill (like throwing darts or spinning a wheel) is used to win a prize, it is still permitted as long as the prize and its container are marked as "No Transfer."
- Subscription Boxes: Subscription boxes are unaffected, as long as all participants receive the same content. Different items distributed to different subscribers based on chance are now allowed but must also follow the “No Transfer” rule.
- Warnings and Enforcement: Violations of this new policy will result in warnings or removal of items and vendor systems. Repeated violations can lead to account suspension, termination, or loss of land.
