About the Paid to Play Suspension.

We created Paid to Play as an opportunity for gamers to get rewarded, just by gaming. Since the program’s launch, over 1B zSilver has been exchanged and over 35,000 rewards redeemed by our fans.

We’re always listening to the community, and everyone’s feedback is important to us. With an increasing amount of negative feedback on the Paid to Play program, we’re going to be taking a hard look into the overall program and mechanics to do right for you and all the gamers who participated. While we take time to develop ways to make it rewarding and beneficial for all, we will suspend the Paid to Play program, effective March 1, 2018. In the event that we are unable to provide a satisfactory solution, the program will be suspended indefinitely.

Making Razer zSilver the rewards credits for gamers has always been our goal, and we’re constantly working on ways to introduce more rewards to earn zSilver. With over 50 rewards on the Razer zSilver catalog, kindly note that rewards will always be on a first-come, first-served, while stocks last basis.

If you’re a step away from redeeming your next Razer reward, here are other ways to earn zSilver:

• Using Razer zGold to pay for your gaming purchases
• Being an active contributor on Razer Insider
• Logging in daily on Razer Cortex
• Syncing your Steam account with Cortex: Deals
• Subscribing to Cortex: Deals newsletters and more to be introduced soon

We thank you for supporting Paid to Play, and welcome all feedback and suggestions on this thread. Should you have any other questions about Paid to Play, please write in to Razer Support or refer to our FAQs here.

Qué lástima que estaba al punto de obtener el zSilver que necesitaba : fruncir el ceño_:

So does this mean next month there will be new items e.g. Razer death adder elite and the old items like the Razer Cynosa Chroma will be removed?

Or will they just add more items to the current catalog?

Yep, new items will be added every month like they have been since the program was just put out. They will also be adding stuff to the current one, meaning stuff that is there now will stay but items will come and go like normal.

The only thing changing is paid to play, they might suspend the expiry date and maybe lower prices depending on what way the whole ecosystem goes.
Tecnically the daily login should still be "on" ? Mean no P2P but hey at least the 40 gold... hem zSilver :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye_::big_grin_:

And 2k zSilver to go for the Razer Ornata. :slightly_sad:

Less than 1500 to get Kitty Ears... I'm really sad because it's going to get me an eternity. And of course, 1000 zGold cost 10$ I think it's very expensive.

Thanks for making it clear for me.
oH NOOOO. I just instilled it. So sad. I'll have to carry on using my $5 keyboard. I will never be able to get a real gaming keyboard. aaaaaHuh AAAA😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Huhhhh

This is sad, I don't get why would the users of the P2P program would give any negative feedback.
I hope they bring it back soon.

I know that no one gave negative feedback about a program that gives you free stuff. And you don't even have to use it if you don't want it. I think they are just losing to much money from it. So really I don't blame them from stopping it. But I feel like they could just make it take longer to earn zsilver maybe 😉
FeelsBadMan, just 1000 zsilver short of razer atheris.
thanks. it has been great enjoying P2P and getting a new mouse for just $14 shipping cost. really appreciate what you have done to make gaming more enjoyable. hope to see you again, P2P.
thanks for this option and win razer peripherals, I have mouse, keyboard and mouse pad.

I will be attentive to know the date of when I will return this option.
RIP for now P2P. I was saving my silver for a rainy day, looks like I will still save up. I kinda get why it was suspended, I too was having small issues with it not capturing my time spent in a few games. But I have faith in Razer to work it out and hope they bring it back soon! 💚

Guys it's nice that you want to take a different approach to this community, but I think suspending this program is a little unfair to people who don't have the luxury of buying zGold.. Including me here... People are playing their games for fun and while doing that they're earning points to get their favourite gear, and it's not an easy task still. You have to spend a massive amount of time to get a more expensive reward. Please, please listen to the little people that are trying to win something with a lot of effort..It would mean so much to them as would it to me. I am so close to redeeming a gaming mouse for the minimum required points and now I don't have any method of doing so. Plus, you have a system for expiring points, which in this case...a lot of people will be angry and dissatisfied.
Please bring back a similar method for earning zSilver.
I dont really know why there would be any bad feedback, i mean its free stuff!!!
anyways i do really hope to come back again soon or the razer arena, it was really fun having to play dota 2 tourney with zsilver prices, or maybe better yet razer can create a bet zsilver system too while playing. competitive with zsilver for your bet.
thats sad. hope to see p2p back soon. cheerz
Life is brutal...in december almost had enought points to take mouse. What happend ? Prize pool changed and unfortunetly mouse has gone. Now i needed around 4k to take Razer Basilisk...p2p has been suspend :D
God doesnt love me :|

PS: I know "RIP English" but at least i try 🙂
I appreciated Razer for allowing players to use their Cortex software and rewarding those that did. Like many though, I was only about 10,000 zSilver away from a reward. I don't quite get why someone would give the negative feedback about the ebay selling of the earned items if they're getting rewarded as well. I can understand the point of looking out for the company itself, but as a consumer I would never complain about any promotion where you get stuff (especially Razer gear) for free.

I have looked through this thread of posts and an overwhelming majority, if not ALL users are sad about P2P's suspension. I hope that Razer can find a similar way to reward players that fly the Razer flag high.

Probably no one complained it is just an excuse to end program that is causing them financial losses, even partnering with free to play games companies to bring them players Razer was just losing cash in this deal.
Still tho thank you Razer i got couple of things from you and i'm glad.

I don't think this is it. If the financial loss is too big they can just control the redeems by limiting the number of redeem vouchers stock.

I redeemed an Electra V2 recently but had to wait 2 weeks for the redeem vouchers to restock. So I don't think financial loss is the reason Razer pulled the P2P program. The death threats are the more likely reason.
I think I heard a noise of something breaking inside of me.
:slightly_sad: (Hope P2P comeback at least)
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol’ days

With an increasing amount of negative feedback on the Paid to Play program


Lol. You're just loosing a lot of money with this program. It's not a shame to admit it.
But anyway, it was a very cool program, which gave me my Chroma Mug. Thank you Razer for this experience, it was awesome.
Lawseye
does anybody know the conversion rate is for zGold to zSilver? when purchasing gold or using gold to buy games?


it's 1 to 1, so every 1 zGold spent equals 1 zSilver to you, I wish they would just let me turn my silver into gold that way too then I could buy a lot of games and stuff!
Bring it back !!! Don't suspension if u have no idea to bring new features to cortex.
Don't know why people would give negative attitude when they are receiving something for free....
Just sad to see p2p go. Was having fun earning free gear, hope it will return in some way .
