Title: "Promo Code" ?
Post by: Elemensch on February 15, 2024, 04:35:06 pm

Just saw the field on the new layout and don't recognize it. What's it for?

Can't find any mention of it on the forum so here's a thread for anyone asking in the future (assuming someone answers of course).

Promocode is probably wrong wording, will update

It's for entering reward codes from winning tournaments etc. In the past those codes would go into Player's Name field

(There's a whole /codesmith command to show which users have codesmith role allowing them to use /code XXX to create codes, same as there's /mod to list chatmods)

"Reward" does make more sense, yeah.

I associate "promo code" with pay-to-win games (which are far more common than your play-for-fun free game).
