    why is the rank $150 then? Because 50 + 25=75... Is that just to upgrade from MVP to penguin then?

    Well, penguin has everything from MVP, plus the world, pets and trails. So it's pretty reasonable that it would be $150

    But if I'm MVP already and want to buy penguin (lmao no) would it just cost me 75 dollars?

    Every other upgrade is pretty much doubling the money from the previous rank. 5$->13$. 13$->30$.30$->50$.50$->75$. 75$->150$.

    Penguin gets you a world, 10k$ in survival, 5k blocks in survival, a join message, a purple name which indicates a high position(not that penguin's are better, more that the it's just a higher rank), more WE, punch, all the pets, all trails. I think the 75$ you'd pay to upgrade is fair for what would turn out as almost 200$ if bought alone.

    Thats fair. I rank for sure is worth it money wise but the reason many people dont get it is because the $75 price tag to upgrade from mvp. Either a new rank with half the benefits of penguin or something. But the rank itself is worth it. Its just the upgrade of the rank is alot for one payment. I bet if there was a like $110 rank inbetween mvp and penguin more people would buy that rank + penguin, as it would be less to pay for the upgrades. But i dont realky support a new rank. But its quite a dillemia.

    Honestly, the amount of features I got when I bought penguin rank is enough. I bought it during the Summer Sale, so it only cost $56, and here's my logic:

    $50 for world.
    $40 for pets & trails [Keeping in mind some pets you can't buy in store, such as EnderDragon & Wither pets]
    $90 -Total Sum. I saved over $30 because of the rank, which I believe is enough. Though I do think in the future, some more perks would be cool. For example:

    -All gadgets, pets, etc in the lobbies/hubs
    -Access to every kit in ever game
    -Access to the trail we don't have access to. For example:
    1. Clay Blocks
    2. Ore Blocks
    3. Smoke
    4. Enchantment
    5. Snowballs
    6. Void
    -Access to all of WorldEdit, such as //naturalize.
    -Personal Letter

    Now, regarding the personal letter, I believe it was offered to the first 3 people who bought penguin. I have no access to the store records, but what I can recall from memory, I think it was:
    1. Kashers [He bought it literally 5 minutes after release]
    2. DrDecember05
    3. Either Flex or I [I can't recall whom bought it first, if you need the date I bought it, it was June 13, 2015, I am unsure of Flex]

    Thanks for you time.
    Sorry for being so dang formal, I'm just in a formal mood :p

    Actually, its just like $2 (Yes, I was surprised as well). I might even set up a thing in the shop where you can order one of these for any amount from $2 upwards if there's interest. I'll also happily write the three letters to the first penguin purchasers.
