WHY YOU NEED TO BUY SLITHY TOVES

by Hazed

Slithy toves can be used in the game to get hold of lots of things. Some of them are useful - like the very popular navcomp upgrade that lets you zoom between Sol planets automatically. Some are decorative, like the new trading cards being sold by Clive in his shop on Castillo. Then there's the social benefits - pay the registrar on Earth and you can get married (or get divorced if that doesn't work out).

But all of these things are incidental. The real reason why you need to buy slithy toves is because Fed2 survives on the money we make from slithies. Every month, another invoice arrives for the network charges, bandwidth and co-location and sadly we can't pay these invoices using groats; they want real dollars, darn it!

You can make one-off purchases of slithy toves for $5 each, buying between 2 and 10 at a time. You can also take out a subscription to make regular monthly payments, and get a 25% discount - £8.00 (eight UK pounds) which equates to about $15 will get you 4 slithy toves each month. Go to the slithy tove page do buy some slithies or subscribe.
