SimuCoins (also known as "SCoins") are the in-house currency for Simutronics' microtransaction system.

Players can purchase nontransferable packages of SimuCoins, which can be spent on perks, items, quests, and festivals. Although the SimuCoins themselves are nontransferable, many of the things they can purchase are, so someone who bought SCoin items would be free to transfer or resell them in-game for plats.

Currently, the base price is one US cent per SimuCoin, with increasing volume discounts scaled to the quantity purchased. Premium and Platinum subscribers also receive an additional 10% bonus to all SimuCoin purchases.

Purchase of SimuCoins is made in the Simutronics online store.

Possible Items

Note that some or all of these may require ongoing costs, rather than one time purchases. It may be based on time, or number of uses, or some other metric.

Most of these items are transferrable to allow selling of them for in-game currency.

Items Proposed

  • Quests, allowing some or all of the price to be offset by SimuCoins. This would also allow last minute additions to quests, as there would be no need to go through a third party financial system.
  • House storage items with tens of slots for items.
  • Wands that summon other crafting equipment.
  • Crafting storage vaults.
  • Additional blocks of vault storage space.
  • Golem type assistants that perform a variety of functions such as carrying, item repair, healing, or other tasks.
  • Refreshing draught that would boost stamina, mana or other pools.

Items Under Consideration

  • Custom character LOOKs.
  • Name changes (would be heavily monitored to prevent abuse).
  • Freeing up a name from a cancelled account for personal use.
  • Character portraits, either from a SimuTronics contracted artist, or possibly allowing third party art.
  • Limited use crafting blueprints.
