The Combine has grown significantly over the years. Some of you have been a part of this sim for a long time and have seen the ebbs and flows of the life of the Combine. Others have only been here a short while, and are just now beginning to experience all that the Combine has to offer. But no matter the length of time you have spent here, you all have something in common: you are part of a community, a family - and families support each other. There are many ways you can support the Combine, but let's first look at how the Combine supports you, the player. CPs can currently be used to purchase ships, vehicles, range of custom images and even custom items. Ninety-five percent of the Combine's budget since September, 2001 has come from your generous donations, so you can see how important this aspect of helping the sim has become. What Combine points are (for a more detailed explanation of the CP, refer to the FAQ):
- CPs are Out of Character (OOC) rewards that members receive from the Administration.
What Combine points are NOT:
- Currency in the Combine universe
Most simply put, the CP is the way the Admin rewards you, the player, for various activities you do in support of the Combine. CPs can then be exchanged for specific ships, vehicles, droids, etc. that cannot be otherwise produced in-game. There are primarily two ways to earn CPs: OOC work done for the Combine, or financial support.
Combine Points are earned through the following ways:
- Login Bonus
- Donations
- Joining one of the Teams and providing value.
CPs are rewarded to players for their continued activity, as a result every player with a character will receive a reward of CPs each day they log in. The amount received depends on how many days in a rows they have logged on.
The scale for which is:
- Day 1: 320 CPs
- Day 2: 370 CPs
- Day 3: 420 CPs
- Day 4: 470 CPs
- Day 5: 520 CPs
- Day 6: 570 CPs
- Day 7 and over: 620 CPs
CPs can be used for the following things
- Exchange for CP Ships / Vehicles / Droids / Creatures
- Custom NPCs
- Custom Images
- Custom Items
