We've released the Golden Coin shop! Access it through the golden door in the EC shop. The shop is unique in that there is a pool of over 25 items available, of which only a few show at a time. Once an item is purchased, a different one takes its place—so don't wait too long to make your decision !

The shop contains many new items as well as some old ones. We'll be adding more through the next couple weeks.

Ahaha Eskimo calling me dirty words and you censored it. :p

Sorry, I've been banned, so this might be a dumb question, but how do you get these coins? What are they called?

They are called "Rare Coins" but that name might change soon.
You have a chance at getting them from events.

I don't understand how their rare when there was maybe 500 spawned give or take the first day? Sort of defeats the purpose.

This isn't the shop i see in-game?

This is the golden shop attached to the ET house with the golden door.

I meant I dont see those items, i didn't pay attention to what Chris said, my bad.

Would just like to add, awesome job chris your still an idiot though. Keep up the good work son.

Great idea!...Too bad it was already in the game, Rare coins = Event Coins.

You pretty much added a fifth wheel.

I tried talking to Chris about it when it was still in the early stages to no avail.
And this is what we got

Sorry for the delay in responding to this; I figured this thread would benefit from some actual numbers instead of just the speculation being done.

Blue and I explained to you our primary reasons for introducing an additional currency before you were fired: to increase participation in events and to allow us to price items more reasonably in the EC shop.

I'm not sure if you've played any events in the past couple weeks (all I can see is that you haven't won any), but participation is up considerably since the introduction of Gold Coins (we don't log actual participation for logistical reasons, but almost twice as many events are being hosted in the past few weeks). In addition, we are now able to price items in the new EC shop more reasonably and will release more items in the near future to the rotating shop.

You made a couple good recommendations for new event items, and I imagine we will probably use some of them. There are only a few dozen items in the Gold Coin shop; it's far from done, if I get it my way!

With that in mind, What is the purpose of throwing junk items in the golden shop like broken shovels?

Broken shovels aren't junk-- in fact, you can repair them at the shell shack so that they function as if new.

They're sure as shit not worth two coins though. Seriously, remove them.

They're junk.
Buying a broken shovel for 2 rare coins is essentially buying $-10.

Not to mention they aren't rare.
And shovels are already sold in a shop. for $37.

Uh, just because you don't do any shell digging doesn't mean you have to ruin it for the rest of the server. Many broken shovels have been purchased in the EC shop, so I think the market has made up its mind .

Loling @ Chris' responses.
