Currencies
Overview
A Currency is a catalog item dedicated to the Wallet Management.
This type of item has 3 special fields:
Initial allocation
: the balance the player has when his/her profile is created.
- The
maximum
balance a player can have.
0
means no limit.
- The type of the currency.
Currency Type
A Currency can be soft, or hard.
Also called "regular currency" or "free currency", a soft currency is a resource designed to be adequately accessible through normal gameplay, without having to make micro-transactions.
A hard currency is a resource that is exclusively, or near exclusively acquired by paying for it (real-money transactions).
Also called "premium currency", it is much harder to acquire without making purchases, and thus is considered to be premium game content.
