PAYING THE BILLS

by Hazed

I have just paid out for another month of the fees we are charged to keep Fed2 running - the cost of hosting the game and our website on a server, and the cost to connect everything to the net.

I pay that money using my own personal credit card, and then I take the money out of the game income from sales of slithy toves. If players don't buy enough slithies each month then I end up out of pocket, which is not a good thing.

So that's why I keep on asking you to make a purchase, or take out a subscription, and buy some slithies. It's because if you don't, we won't be able to afford to keep the game going.

You get something in return, because slithies can be exchanged in the game for goods and services, such as the navcomp upgrade that aids in getting around Sol, a variety of price checkers for anyone trading on the Galaxy's exchanges, and a teleporter to make it easy to jaunt around. You can also buy decorative items such as the limited edition charms on sale from Gallagher's on Earth - there'll be a new one next month.

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, subscribe, and read about all the things you can do with slithies.

Thank you.
