Upcoming Changes to The Bazaar

Hey Bazaarians,

We are making a number of foundational changes to the Bazaar.

The most prominent change is that we will be shifting from a Free-to-Play to a Premium experience. With this change, it frees us from many of the necessary 'gotcha' mechanics inherent in Free-to-Play games, and we believe it leads to a better overall experience for our players. More details on this below.
