Purchase Of Credits Within Elysium ********************************** Each new character starts with 20 free credits, each credit lasting roughly one real-life hour. You may view how many credits you have by typing 'credits'. Credits allow you to gain a lesson around every 2.5 hours instead of every 10 hours, which is how long it takes if you do not buy credits. Running out of credits does NOT mean that you can no longer play Elysium. You may purchase additional credits at any time, providing that you have no more than 250 credits for the character you wish to purchase the credits for. Before purchasing credits you must read and agree to the Terms of Play. See 'help terms'. The prices for the various credit packages available in Elysium may be seen at www.hakarren.mudservices.com/credits.html From this web page, you may purchase credits ONLINE. The prices of credits are subject to change, and any such change will be shown there and on the NewsBB. Credits may not be exchanged between characters. If you are sending a cheque instead of purchasing online, then you will need to add a 8 dollar handling fee on top of the credit charges to cover bank charges. So, for example, a purchase of 200 credits would cost 27.96 dollars + 8 dollars through cheque payment. Cash payment does not have the handling fee. However, any money you send through the post is at your own risk. I have had no reports of money going missing however. Please make all cheques payable to Rhys Catlow. The mailing address for payment is: Elysium 15 Althorp Close Leicester England LE2 8PZ All major currencies are accepted. If you were to send 50 dollars, then Zharadan will keep an account of that, and when told, will deduct money from your account to pay for credits. Thus meaning that you can send more money than what 250 credits is worth (25 dollars). Remember, when you transfer money from your account to credits, it will be at the price of credits at the time of transfer. You should include your address, real name and character's name who the credits are for. NOTE: Mail from the U.S. to Britain takes on average 6 days with a 60 cent stamp.
