Is this still redeemable?

[Naruchico]

This has remained in my wallet since the day I got it and will remain there forever!

 

 

[Blackbird71]

Unfortunately it's not; HC removed the VIP Pass from the game.

[Snarky]

That vip pass was my transporter redside.  You could bop into the D grab inspirations from the tiki bartender and race to your zone for the next mission super fast ( or so it seemed)

[DoctorDitko]

Oh, man! I'd give all of my personal fortune (and a nice coin purse to carry it in) if I could get one of those that worked for real.

Note: Standing around in Pocket D for an hour (I think) gives you the VIP Pass badge (and the teleport option on the Long Range Teleport thing)

For Long Range Teleporter, you just need to grab an exploration badge from inside Pocket D.  I think what you're talking about might be a separate thing that ALSO teleports you to Pocket D.  If it's still in the game.  Useful if you want to get there and LRT is on cooldown.

I think that covers it.

It's not still in the game; not as the "Pocket D VIP Pass," anyway.  You still earn the ability to teleport to Pocket D the same way, but it has been rolled into the LRTP:

Patch Notes for November 24th, 2020 - Issue 27, Page 1 - Patch Notes - Homecoming (homecomingservers.com)

 

 

New Accolade Power: Long Range Teleporter

•  Long Range Teleporter
  • The Pocket D VIP Pass power has been significantly improved and is now the Long Range Teleporter
    • If you previously owned Pocket D VIP Pass, you will now have the Long Range Teleporter with Pocket D unlocked as a destination
  • Long Range Teleporter is unlocked by the Passport Accolade, which can be acquired by earning:
    • An exploration accolade in any zone with a Base Portal (see the "Complete Base Portal List" below for reference), or
    • The Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member badge (for spending 1 hour in Pocket D)
  • Long Range Teleporter can be used once to teleport you to any zone that you have unlocked
    • Collecting any exploration badge in a zone will unlock it as a destination
    • Pocket D can also be unlocked with the Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member badge
    • Only zones with base portals can be unlocked (see the "Complete Base Portal List" below for reference)
  • Long Range Teleporter has a 2s activation time and a 10 minute cooldown
    • Activation time is longer in PvP
  • If you activate Long Range Teleporter and do not use it, the cooldown will begin counting down but the power can still be used again until you zone
    • This is indicated by the red ring around the power
    • Note that even if you zone without using LRT, it will still go on cooldown - it's not possible to determine if you zone with the power or not

    • Examples:

      • You activate the power. Spend 60 seconds looking at the options before clicking one. When you zone, the power will be on cooldown with 9 minutes left.

      • You activate the power. You don't zone. Two minutes later you activate it again and zone. The power will go on cooldown with 10 minutes left (each activation resets the timer).

      • You activate the power, then keep running around the zone for five minutes. Then you use a monorail or whatever to go to a different zone. The power will go on cooldown with 5 minutes left

  • Long Range Teleporter allows you to use /enterbasefrompasscode to enter any base

No.  You linked to the wiki reference of the "Pocket D VIP Pass" power.  This no longer exists in game.  It is now the "Long Range Teleporter" power.  Pocket D is now one possible destination of many to be unlocked with this power, and the Gold Club Member badge is still there, but the VIP Pass power is gone.

 

This is what you linked:

 

 Pocket D VIP Pass

You've been given a VIP Pass to Pocket D. It will allow you to access Pocket D from anywhere. It is usable once every 30 minutes.

This power has an interrupt time of 15 seconds.

Effects
