The returner program, introduced in the October 13 major version update, confers various bonuses to attorneys who have not logged into the game for 14 days.

Returner Mail

Upon the player's first login after the required time away, a mail from DAVIS will be received containing a welcome back notice as well as:

Returner Sign-In

For 15 days after the player triggers the Returner Program, a sign-in bonus becomes available. Players do not need to log in on consecutive days to claim all rewards; merely logging in on any seven of the next 15 days will complete the sign-in bonus.

Returner Tasks

Similar to the Rookie Tasks that a player might remember from starting the game, for 15 days after the player triggers the Returner Program, a set of "Returner Tasks" becomes available to complete. These include seven days of tasks intended to help the player get reacquainted with all the parts of the game and includes cumulative Btn money s.pngS-Chip bonuses upon reaching certain milestone numbers of completed tasks.

As with the Rookie Tasks, the player need not complete all tasks on the suggested days. However, unlike the Rookie Tasks, Returner Tasks are not permanent; any tasks left incomplete after 15 days have passed will disappear.

Reward Comparison

The lucrative spread of rewards described here may lead a long-term player to wonder whether it's worthwhile to step away from the game from time to time to take advantage of the Returner Program, so it's worth taking some space to compare the Returner Program to continuous play to help players make this decision.

Returners

If a player makes maximum use of the returner program, the free rewards come to a total of:

However, it should be noted that the returner tasks require the player to draw 10 visions, meaning the total Btn money s.pngS-Chip income is negative 700 Btn money s.pngS-Chips; while this is not a problem if a player wishes to draw from the current banners, the player will lose out on 300 Btn money s.pngS-Chips (200 for finishing all 44 tasks, 100 for the visions task itself) should the choice be made to save instead.

Continuing Players

To compare, a free-to-play player who makes maximum use of daily and weekly tasks for the 14 days offline that would have been required to trigger the Returner Program will receive task rewards totaling:

Plus rewards for the gameplay required to complete the daily and weekly tasks:

Conclusion

While we should embrace the Returner Program and the returning attorneys who make use of it, the rewards only help to close the gap between those who take a break and those who play continuously, and it's unlikely to be worthwhile to intentionally take breaks to trigger the Returner Program.
