The winners have been announced and Scrapblog has taken not one, but two Adobe MAX awards in both the RIA category and the coveted People’s Choice Award! We could not be more excited about this. We’ve had our eye on this prize since the birth of Scrapblog and we can finally check that off our list. Kick ass!

PackRat Launches a Subscription Option

PackRat has just launched a subscription option for players called PackRat XL. I had a feeling this was going to happen sooner than later. Judging from the forums, it appears to have been well received dispite the backlash of the original ticket launch. This move rounds out a solid revenue model short of advertising, but as Josh has mentioned in the past, ads were never very lucrative for them. I hope it works well, I’ll be watching closely.

PackRat Launches Ratzilla with a Dual Currency System

The guys at Alamofire just released a HUGE update to PackRat, entitled Ratzilla. Lot’s of new changes that I have yet to go through.

But the REALLY big news is that they’ve now implemented a revenue stream via a dual currency system. You can now buy tickets, which can in turn be used to buy items or credit…

“PackRat Tickets can be used to purchase rare, retired and premium cards. You can also convert your tickets into credits if you like.”

“You can exchange tickets for credits (1 ticket = 100 credits).”

I’m a big fan of dual currency systems, and I’m excited to see how it all plays/pays out for them.
