MONEY, PLEASE

by Hazed

Once again I find myself throwing myself on your mercy, as players of Fed2, because the bills are due again - the ones that have to be paid every month to keep the game running.

Regular readers will know what that means. For those that are new (or have very short memories), I will recap.

Fed2 is free to play, but it's not free to run. Each month I wave my personal credit card to pay the cost to host the game and connect it to the internet. I then get the money back from you, the players, who choose to pay a small amount of money in order to ensure you can keep playing.

You give Fed2 money by purchasing tokens called slithy toves. These can be exchanged in the game for goods and services, some of them useful and functional, some social or decorative. Here's some of the things you can get with slithy toves:

  • The navcomp upgrade that aids in getting around Sol
  • A variety of price checkers for anyone trading on the Galaxy's exchanges
  • A teleporter to make it easy to jaunt around
  • Various permits to enhance factories and depots
  • Planet enhancements - including a groat boost for your treasury
  • The limited edition charms on sale from Gallagher's on Earth
  • You can even get married!

There's a full list of all the exciting things you can do with slithies here.

A slithy tove costs $5, and if you subscribe you get a big discount (4 for the price of 3). Go to the Extras page to make a purchase or subscribe.

If you do, you'll be helping to ensure you can carry on playing Fed2.
