**OLD** -- EFD money system explained

[MindBuster]

EntropiaForum has a money system, NO real money involved, the name of the system is EFD (Entropia Forum Dollar).

You earn EFD by starting new threads, replying to other members threads and other ways like referrals.

The amount of EFD's earned varies alot, starting a new thread gives more EFD than replying to another thread, it also depends on in which forum the thread is started, like, starting a new thread in an off topic forum would give less than starting one in a Project-Entropia related forum, the same applies when replying to a thread.


Q: So what can i use these EFD's for ?

A: well, you can spend your earned EFD's in the EntropiaForum Store (Shop) or simply stand out as one of the richest EntropiaForum members.
There you can buy yourself extra looks to your username, like, ITALIC, BOLD, a different color to your username, even glowing, or combinations of the mentioned, you can also buy a costum title.
The prices of the different things are "dynamic" and will be changed as needed.

You can even, if you can afford, change the costum title of another member, usefull if a friend of yours cant afford his/her own, or if you wanna make fun with another member, then you can change their title to something else that you choose

You can also buy an Arcade Pass to be allowed to play in the Arcade.

The EFD money system makes it so noone feels left outside, the admin manually giving fancy usernames/titles to specific members can cause a bit of envy towards other members, "Hey, why havent i gotten a costum title...", this way you can buy your own username enhancements when you have deserved it (Contributed enough to the community/earned EFD's)

Please ask any questions you might have here.

Naah, it's a so called hack (modification), doesnt come with vB, none of the advanced features like arcade gallery radio fame does, i have added them to the vB system.

This is a pretty cool system.

But doesn't this encourage flooding?

It's planned to reward good threads with a little EFD, but for now ill just remove the tax from purchases, "arg i just bought..." you might say, no worry, price will be adjusted so it would have cost the same.
