Some added information about how this new currency will work. There will be two types of platinum, if you simply wish to spend it on things for yourself and friends in the Platinum store you need not concern yourself with which is which. However, if your desire is to trade it to others it will be important.

Platinum purchased via PayPal or OneBip will come to your account as regular Platinum. This can be traded, given away or sold on the platinum market for credits. However, platinum acquired from other players using credits or as gifts will arrive to you as 'Bound Platinum'. This platinum cannot be traded, given away or sold on the platinum market. It can only be used to purchase from the platinum store for yourself or as gifts for others.

In short, what this means is only players purchasing Platinum for money will be selling it on the market. Nobody will be able to buy out cheap platinum with the intention of selling it at a higher price. This is one of the main complaints we had about the subscription market, hopefully it will remedy this.

It also means when we give away free platinum as prizes we can give it away as 'Bound Platinum' and stop it from inflating prices on the market as people sell it.
