Okay, I'm sure everyone noticed it by now.

I'm going to lay down the rules as I understand them right now, so I may be wrong, someone tell me if I am.

*ahem*

The Shop allows you to buy things with credits you recieve from being active in the forum. Starting a topic gets you 10, and posting gets you 8. There is a bank system, complete with interest, and a marketplace, full of useless garbage (apparently). You can view anyone's assets from the Shop Home, and send money and items.

I have no idea if the Shop serves a purpose, or if it's a bragging rights kind of thing. I think it's the second one, though. Just imagine if you were the only owner of the Mystic Ear of Corn, and could brag about having all of them to yourself!

Credits earned through posting can be used to barter just about anything, though... be it items, pictures, services, a Ronin.... anyone see where I'm going with this?

:P that's about it for now.

o0o0o0o this aught to be interesting

so, you made this topic just to earn 10 credits then?

Let the spam begin :

:......

But he got good point...I see no use for something like marketplace, and paying people with money, that don't exist...It's like paying with this credits, for full version ;)

Paying credits for head textures, sigs and maybe other artsy stuff makes a bit of sense, as it isn't really worth anything, just like the credits.

Oh, and if you compare it to paying for playing some MMORPG, and then paying for money in that game, which is essentially paying so that you won't have to play the game, then this marketplace makes so much sense it's not even funny (which admittedly needn't be a whole lot of sense).

Well, while it did get me 10 credits, I also wanted to be the first to say something about the shop section.

And I kinda have to go back and spellcheck myself... I rushed the post this morning and didn't see it until now...

Yay ManBreakfast (I actually got it right!) for being the first to make a thread about the shop section!
