Can I resell my Avatar?
Absolutely, please note that Avatar and Alpha Pass are linked unless you split them during the Alpha Split.

Can I sell the avatar and keep the pass?

What guarantee do I have that the Alpha Pack will be delivered?
Well, you have our word, but if that’s not enough, you can choose to insure your Avatar during checkout. All Avatars and Passes are linked to smart contracts that ensure your benefits, perks, and rights are delivered. During checkout, you can opt to take out Avatar Insurance on your pass or pack.
Can I sell my Avatar or Alpha Pack?
Absolutely, once the Alpha Drop has occurred. This is to protect the value of the assets for all holders. You can also buy additional Alpha Packs during the pre-sale, which can be sold straight after.
Why can't I get the Alpha Pack straight away?
The Inner Circle Alpha Pass is an early offer for mates while we complete the Avatar 3D Models for the Alpha Pack. Between us, the Avatars have been a royal pain; we were well ahead of the curve when we dreamed up their utility and wanting each one to be unique. We’ve well and truly cracked that egg now, and the art team is in full swing. All six classes will be complete by the time of the pre-sale.
