~~~I didn't see this posted anywhere in don't think so here I go~~~~

Okay so most of us have bought premium, and a lot of us have bought premium and then for one reason or another been unable to play Pokeheroes for a time (be it a day or Month whatever.)

SO my suggestion is, what if PH only counted days off your premium on days you logged in?
For example. I buy a week of premium, but my laptop crashes that night and I can't play for three days. Instead of only having 3 days left of Prem, I still have 6 since I was unable to log in and use it. (taking away the first day of premium since you used it the day you bought it.)

That way no one wastes money or nuggets/ Poke dollars should something happen and they are inactive for a time.

Just a thought.

Um, just a little reminder, if you're going to post on a suggestion, you have to say why you support it or not, not just that you do or don't. And I support this! Sometimes things come up in life and you don't have a chance to log in to PH, so this would be very useful!

I think this is a fantastic idea! Much like Astral said, things can come up in life, and it feels awful to have days of game time that you bought go to waste. I think it would also make people more likely to buy premium if they knew it wouldn't be wasted on off days :)

I am personally split on the idea. I bought the year premium, but if I ended up having to take a forced hiatus (either due to vacation, or being in the hospital for example), I would lose a chunk of time. It would be nice to not lose a week's worth premium. However, on the flip side, this could be abused in a sense. Since the site generally runs on donations for those buying nuggets, Riako ultimately would want to maximize profits without inherently hurting users. It is perfectly fine the way it is; even I spent money on the site to help me premium. There are also features that work while you are offline, such as getting more exp for the pokemon in your party, and having an increased breeding chance. For these two reasons, I'd want premium to keep active while I was sleeping.

Overall, I think being able to temporarily disable it if you know you'll be gone for a significant amount of time would be more useful than a forced-off. Of course, this could potentially be abused; ie turning it on and off constantly only when needed. So, possibly a minimum could be added; like 3 days as OP mentioned.
I am looking to trade most things I have for Pokefarm Q stuff!

I honestly think that this would be a really nice thing to do. The fact that I tend to have sporadic gameplay periods is one of the big reasons why I struggle both at sticking with a particular game, and why I rarely put money into games. I already think this game is pretty great cause it doesn't seem like there's much of a punishment for missing a few days, but I know that I'm not comfortable spending money on premium when there's a fairly high chance I'll be unable to make full use of it.

I do support, but I have a question. What about the increased breeding chance, and all those passive bonuses?

The idea is literally nothing at all besides the number of days used for your premium counting with log in days.
I feel like more people will be inclined or willing to buy nuggets from the shop if they don't have to worry about wasting them here and there.

Naturally I don't have every aspect hammered out flawlessy, that's for Riako to decide and analyze. I just have a small general idea XD

If the days you never logged on are just not counted as premium what happens if you're hunting and a shiny hatches on one of those days? So will it break the chain?
I'm sure this is an extremly important point for most premium users.

Bump
My suggestion was a button to shut it off and it logs the remaining tome of your premium. I think it would work best only for a year and 6 month premium. So someone cant pause it when it has a day, making the 6 month and year premium more valuable. In turn keeping nuggets the same price, but not wasting premium for people who wish to lab hunt. Only not being able to pause it when you get down to a week left,

I dont think not being logged in should work for this, but i button you can shut off.

Support!!

I always go for a month with my premium since I feel like a week is too quick for me (and I’ll likely forget to renew it).

If something happens and I’m unable to be on for a while, then there will be a lot of missed days for me and a waste of my nuggies 😭

Sorry, but no support. As stated above. Premium memberships also comes up with passive perks (such as increase breeding chance (tallgrass) , increase shiny chance, increase Ehp/exp of party pkmn). Implementing this might leads to exploitation of some users.

Unfortunately I have to reject this idea. LethalLulu perfectly explained the reason why this can't be implemented.
