Upgrades All About Karma Upgrades

[Zwielicht]

Karma upgrades give our outlaws something to spend their karma. These upgrades can only be purchased with Karma, which must be earned simply by participating on the forum.

There are current 4 Karma upgrades available.

• Profile Plus: You can post attachments to profile posts and you can stick up to 3 comments to your profile posts. Note that $2 USD is 2,000 karma.
• Signature Plus: You can add smilies to your signature (once you have access to your signature). You can add lists to your signature. You can add block tags (e.g., quotes, code, etc) to your signature. Signatures can go up to font size 5 from the default font size 4. Note that $5 USD is 5,000 karma.
• Direct Message Plus: This allows you to upload attachments to DMs. It also extends the timer to edit your own messages from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. Finally, it brings your maximum inbox size up to 5,000 message from the default 2,000. Note that $7.50 USD is 7,500 karma.
• Hot Rod Badge (Cosmetic): This is just a Hot Rod badge that offers no other benefit other than looking rad.

Edit: The dollar amount that's displayed on the Upgrades page does not mean it can actually be bought with real currency. It's just how it's displayed on the Upgrades page because I need to work out how to get it to display the amount of Karma that's required. Every "$1" is 1,000 Karma.

Karma can't be bought or sold with any real currency. It's meant to only be used within its own system and does not crossover to upgrades that can be bought with real currency.

Now that Karma has a transactional value, how do you exchange it for $

Are you referring to the dollar amount in the opening post? That's just how it's displayed on the Upgrades page because I need to work out how to get it to display the amount of Karma that's required. Every "$1" is 1,000 Karma.

Just to be clear, Karma can't be bought or sold with any real currency. It's meant to only be used within its own system and does not crossover to upgrades that can be bought with real currency.
