Beta still means Beta

Thanks for everyone’s continuing support. Being that we are in beta, we are continually working out the kinks to our system. The most important thing for you guys, obviously, is the prize system. While we’ll admit we are analyzing the redemption program on the fly, it is critical that we continue adjusting the strategy in effort to attract the most possible sponsors for our gamers.

But, hey, we are in Beta!

The real question arising from all of this is regarding the prize shipping timeline. Most of you have already received your prizes. For the people that have been patiently waiting (in some cases far too long), first off, we are sorry for the delay. Please understand these delays are mostly caused by the downturn in the economy and sponsorship issues. For example, some companies that were sponsoring JACT no longer are in business. While that sucks for us, I am sure it sucks more for them. We have to be sympathetic to the situations affecting our country every day. We are still here and going forward, as we work through these problems, our efficiency will increase. Lastly, rest assured that ALL ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED! As far as when…that’s difficult to accurately estimate. Please know that we are working this every day.

Again, it’s important to note that we are in Beta.

With that being said, our sponsors are constantly working with us to create the best mutually beneficial relationship. It is our job to present JACT to sponsors and work hand in hand with them to ensure their support. We will be looking at feedback provide our sponsors with new ways to get prizes into the hands of our gamers. In the upcoming weeks, you will see changes in the Mall to ensure our partnerships. Needless to say, these tough economic times are keeping JACT on its toes. We hope that our gamers will continue to support us as we build up JACT. With that being said, changes to the Mall are not only allowing us to maintain great sponsorship but also allowing JACT to be competitive in our current economy. We just wanted to thank all our supporters and let everyone know that we are working as hard as we can to have everyone “Play with Purpose.”

We will add to this blog weekly to address the latest here at JACT, including prize shipping, upcoming improvements, our own marketing efforts, and how badly we wish Transformers would come out sooner.
