Sony Online Entertainment Introduces Microtransactions

By | December 9, 2008 | | Filed under: News | Tags: , , , ,

Sony Online Entertainment has stealth-launched its RMT system, known as Station Cash. The first mention of this new system was in the patch notes for the test servers and later moved to the live servers.

From the Station Cash FAQ:

What is Station Cash?

Station Cash is Sony Online Entertainment’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.

What is a wallet?

A wallet is a place for consumers to “keep” Station Cash for purchases now and in the future. When a user purchases Station Cash, the equivalent amount of currency will be placed in the wallet and will be available for in-game purchases. It’s also easy to continually fund without re-entering credit card information time after time because the wallet accesses the current credit card on the player’s account.
