Token system and VIP progression details.
Playtime converts into tokens automatically and stacks with every VIP tier — this sits on top of VIP, it doesn't replace it.
Stacks with VIP, VIP+, and VIP Ultra.
Builds the longer a rank stays subscribed, up to that rank's cap — not the full discount from month one. Alpha example:

| Month 1 | 10% |
| Month 2 | 20% |
| Month 3+ | 30% (cap) |
