Back to School! Special Bundle Sale NP Information
Hello Lumia Island Survivors,
The 1,500 NP included in the Back to School! Special Bundle was intended to be issued as Free NP, but we recently confirmed that it was incorrectly delivered as Paid NP.
We have identified the cause of this issue and corrected it for future purchases. For bundles already purchased, we will be retrieving the Paid NP and reissuing it as Free NP.
Please note that if any portion of the Paid NP has already been spent, it cannot be retrieved, and purchases made with that NP will not be eligible for refunds.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
