KERCHING!
by Hazed
The old Fed2 server will be closed down at the end of the month, and I’ll have to flex my credit card one more time to pay the expensive bill. But after that, it’s still going to cost money to run the game - the new setup in the cloud is less than half the cost of the old one but we still have to find that money somewhere.
So it’s time for me to urge you to buy some slithy toves, and help to pay for your favorite game.
Slithy toves are tokens that you buy, using real dollars, which you can then use in the game to get a variety of useful and entertaining things. Here’s a sample of what you can do with slithy toves:
- Price checking - there’s a variety of souped up remote price checkers available that will aid anybody trading goods on the exchanges
- Navcomp - if you’re running cargo in the Solar system, a navcomp upgrade can make it easy to find your way from planet to planet
- Teleporter - for truly luxury travel you can teleport from place to place with ease
- Boost your planet cash - exchange a slithy tove for funds in your treasury, to help you do those infrastructure builds quicker
- Planet design - if you’re feeling creative but the limit on locations on your planet is cramping your style, buy some extras
- Charms - regular items of jewellery that go on sale for a limited period. Build up your collection! There’ll be a new one in a couple of weeks.
- Finally, you get that warm, smug feeling that comes with the knowledge you are helping to keep Fed going.
There’s a full list of all the exciting things you can do with slithies here.
A slithy tove costs $5. You can make individual purchases, or you can take out a subscription and get a big discount: $13 a month gets you four slithies (which would normally cost you $20).
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.
