​​♦️🐹 GLOBAL UPDATE: RUBIES, HAMSTER KING SHOP & NEW AUTHORIZATION 🐹♦️

Dear Hamster Kings,
We're rolling out a major update that expands the game beyond Telegram! Introducing Rubies — a new premium currency — alongside our Hamster King Shop, along with important changes to in-game pricing and authorization. Everything you need to know is below.

♦️ Rubies – new Premium Currency
Rubies can be obtained (for now) exclusively through the Hamster King Shop. They will be used for various in-game purchases.

💰 Pricing logic – Stars vs Rubies
We’ve updated how prices are displayed depending on where you play and how many Rubies you have.

🔹 In Telegram:
- If you have 0 Rubies → all prices are shown in Stars (as before).
- If you have some Rubies → items you can afford with Rubies will show a Ruby price; items you cannot afford will still show Stars.

🔹 In Web Version (app.hamsterking.games):
- All prices are displayed in Rubies.
- If you don't have enough Rubies for a specific purchase, tapping it will redirect you to the Hamster King Shop to buy more.

🔐 Access your progress in the Web Version
To bring your existing game progress to the Web Version:
1. Log in using a new account (the method depends on your region — see below).
2. Go to Settings and choose to link your previous Telegram account (the one you used to play before).
3. You’ll be asked which profile to keep. Select the one with your existing progress. Access to the other profile may be lost.

Once linked, both the new account and your old Telegram account will lead to the same profile with all your progress.

🔹 For Russian players: Only Yandex is available for the new account.
🔹 For players outside Russia: All login methods (Telegram, Google, Yandex) are supported — simply log in with the account you already used, and your progress will be there automatically.

⚠️ Important
We’re aware of an issue where new Crypto Hamsters were not dropping correctly from Crypto Hamster Balls. It has been fixed, and compensation will be sent shortly. Thank you for your patience! 🐹🔧

Now’s the perfect time to explore the Web Version and grab Rubies from the Hamster King Shop. Enjoy seamless gameplay across platforms, stock up on the new premium currency, and get ready for even more exciting updates ahead. Stay with us, Kings — together we're taking the empire to the next level! 🤝🐹
