For all the help text and upsell messages in die2nite, I cannot figure out how users are selected for Hero status. At first I thought the game had a "freemium" model where you could pay to be a hero but none of the "become a hero" links take me anywhere.
Are successful users from past towns granted hero status? Or is there a purchase flow that just isn't available yet?
Best Answer
You may now purchase days of Hero time on the Die2Nite website.
There's also another way to become a hero: manage to pull out of a town that has lasted for five complete days as the Last Man Standing, and you'll be rewarded not only with a special distinction but also with a certain amount of Hero days depending on how long you survived. You can read up on Last Man Standing and the rewards here.
