View Full Version : All about the shop/gil (and a new feature!)

Since all of these types of threads have appeared lately, I figured I'd make one master thread to let you all know about the shop/gil system.

The shop (http://www.uff9.net/forums/store.php) is basically where you buy all of your common forum things, like a custom title, custom avatar, and moving avatars. On some, it lets you change the specific option however many times you want, while others let you only buy once, because you'll only need to buy them once! Lemme detail exactly what it's got:

Change your username - Costs 2500 gil

Change your custom title - Costs 500 gil

Change your custom avatar - Costs 1250 gil

Add moving avatars to your avatar list - Costs 750 gil
This will make a new option appear under "Change avatar" in your user cp. Just choose "moving avatars" and choose your avatar.

Add a glow to your name - Costs 500 gil
This allows you to add a colored glow to your name in posts, just like my name

Be able to view the private forum - Costs 3000 gil (this one's the new one!)
This one allows you to buy the privelages to view a private forum where you can talk about whatever just between those who have opted to buy this privelage. You'll also be the first (besides the staff) to hear about new features, and some may even be chosen to beta test features.

That said, lemme explain the gil system. For every reply you make, you get 10 gil. For every new thread you make, you get 15 gil. If you decide to spam up the forums so you get the desired amount of gil, the staff can remove your gil, and it will be removed...so don't spam up the forums :P

That's all, have a great time, all...as always :)

You never know. Interesting idea, though.

By the time I have enough gil to buy my slot in the special forum, this place'll be dead and buried.

quiet, and drink this

Nice incentive for posting more on the board. The private room will probably flourish, maybe more than expected.

Neat but not my taste, I have better things to buy with my cash (like stuff for Battle hack :) ).

Excuse me for not going "ooooooo and aaaahhhhhh" like everybody else... but a private forum sounds kind of lame. Sure it'll be "private" for a while, but then everybody will have access sooner or later. Plus, if what Geeds says is true, everybody gets 5k gil soon? Waste of gil.

Also, i'm sure it wont really be a place where "you can chat about anything with anybody". In that case, i'll just go post on in the Asylum.

It's more of a "learn about stuff before anyone else does and perhaps become a beta tester" forum than anything else. If everyone and their brother decides they want access, I'll up the price or change the way people can view it or something. It's what it is for a reason :P

The 5k gil is for the battle hack, not this. It's so you can buy things there.

So there will be different Gils for both systems?

No, it'll be the same thing. I just figure it'll be easier to get things that way. I might lower that amount to 2000 or something, I dunno...it was just an idea :P. Also, there'll be level restrictions on most items on the battle CP, so you can't buy, say, the ultima weapon at level 1 :P

Good point but the private forum sounds cool and if too many access it, raise the price/build somthing better so people go of the idea, eg, an interactive RPG, so its basically an online version of Final Fantasy, except you can use the team you've trained up for ages or a random team... just a thought...
