In the dark fantasy MMORPG The Secret World, a major currency conversion is coming soon. Players are advised to buy what they want now, the developers recommend.
Don’t worry, The Secret World is not planning any equivalent of a “Grexit.” It is about virtual currencies, not Euros. And again: Don’t worry. Although Funcom is facing financial difficulties, The Secret World does not plan to close. The current currency conversion has very mundane reasons.
With the next update, Issue #12, they aim to revise and expand the MMO aspects in The Secret World and have decided to eliminate the current currency confusion. Essentially, all current currencies (except PAX) will be converted into “Black Bullion” at a certain ratio. With Issue #12, a second currency will also be introduced, Mark of the Pantheon, but that is irrelevant for now.
It is important: There is a cap on how much Black Bullion one can possess. For subscribers, it is 2400, for non-subscribers, it is 2000. If you have more Black Bullion than these limits after the conversion, you will receive 200 PAX for each Black Bullion above the cap.
So check out the conversion table on Funcom, take out a calculator, check if you would be over the limit, and if so: happy shopping!
