Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Yesterday, SOE released a FAQ discussing Station Cash, which (in their words) is SOE's "new virtual currency that players can buy to fund a virtual wallet. Once a wallet has been funded, Station Cash can be used to purchase premium in-game items through the in-game Marketplace in EverQuest® and EverQuest® II."

We caught up with SOE president John Smedley to briefly discuss what Station Cash will mean to SOE's venerable stable of MMORPGs now and in the future.

John Smedley: "Over time we want Station Cash to be used for a lot of cool stuff (including subscriptions at some point). That will include things like getting a photo of your guild physically mailed to you, or a t-shirt of your character. We want it to be our currency across all our games. It really isn't a radical change in direction from our perspective. EQ and EQ 2 are not going to switch to being microtransaction based games. We're just adding some additional cool things players can do."
