Time to talk about Krono.

* Krono is bought with cash. You can trade it or sell it to other players on the broker. You can gift it. If you use it, it adds 30 days of gold membership.

2 types of players who want a Krono.

* Players with a ton of plat.
* Players with very little plat.

* You can use plat to play for free.
* You can buy Krono and sell it in-game on the broker for plat.

We are not setting a price. I suggest setting the price high. ;)

A great thing about Krono, is it’s in a secure environment. Not worried about being ripped off. Will cut out a lot of the spam from plat sellers.

Q: A Krono is $17.99. Why is it more than 30 days sub costs at Walmart for $14.99?
A: We don’t endorse the selling of cards in-game, but it’s a completely supported in-game method of trading in-game subs.


Q: Are you going to try to stop selling cards for plat?
A: No.

This is like PLEX in EVE folks.  It is a good plat sink for those who have a ton of wealth and want to keep a gold membership for free.  Its good for new folks as it will give them a good instant boost without the dangers of plat websites.

wait, 17.99 for a krono why the $3 surcharge over the normal 14.99  that "answer" above doesnt really answer the question

Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I read this player response on the forums

Krono are redeemable for All Access, which costs $17.99/mo.  That is why they are $17.99.
