Gold Accounts are now given out as Items instead of time being added to your account. You can still purchase up to twelve months, and there is an item for each. To get your gold account, you just click on the item in your items, and click Activate Gold Account.
This is to decrease the amount of scamming related to selling GAs.
If you purchase gold accounts via snail mail, you will be given the item, instead of time being added to your account.
Also, if you were waiting for time to be added to your GA (you purchased more months) you will be getting a medal in your items sometime tonight.
Thank you for supporting subeta. :)

<br>It restarts the clock I believe. I had 1 day left before my gold account expired so I figured why not and activated it. ;x Now I have exactly one month till expiery. So definitely -- vault it, don't activate it right away. n.n;

<br>
<br>I don't think it's going to skyrocket the prices at all. If anything, because it's easier, more may be available, which would bring down the prices.

<br>I wouldn't think that would happen,because somewhere along the line,there's a person paying real money for the Gold account Medal that you purchase =) (Sorry,I know,should have put this in my first post <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>)

It confused me at first, but it's a great idea! <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0> I was just thinking of 'gifting' someone with a month's worth. ^^
<br>And I agree, as long as the Rogue doesn't swipe it or the zapper mangles it, it should be a cool item! <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_heart.gif border=0> Luff it!

It's actually great for both, the sellers and the buyers, now you are sure that when you offer on a gold account medal, you will actually get the gold account. And it's easier for the sellers, who just have to purchase a medal and sell it in the trades or auctions
0
User not found:
wow this is cool. So instead of just giving up the sps or whatever to purchase a GA you can get the medal out of trades so that you know you are getting for sure and then you can activate it yourself. I think this is a very good idea ^^

That is awesome <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0> I love the idea. I'll have to wait a month to get one though as my gold account was starting this morning. I'll still buy one sometimes this week and I'll save it until my gold account expire. Thanks for making it that way <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif border=0>

You have to search "# Month Gold Account Medal" in trades to get it come up... where '#' is the number of months you're interested in.
<br>
<br>The Gold Account Medal appears in the buyer's inventory. So, those of us who sell them to other users can now purchase them ahead of time and then place them in trades.
<br>
<br>Because one medal can represent up to a certain number of months, if you want to buy more than one month at a time, I recommend you work it out with your buyer ahead of time so they can purchase the one medal with the multiple months for you instead of having more than one medal worth 1 month each.
<br>
<br>I'm not sure how the medals work as far as adding on time or restarting the clock. I just bought one, but I didn't activate it because I still have a full month left. I'll try it out later this month to see how it works.

I have two questions regarding this:
<br>
<br>What if your parents said no for you to buy your own Gold Account. So you buy it from someone else? Would you pay for the medal so the person can buy you the gold account?
<br>
<br>Also, is this like a normal item? Like something the new zapper could change into a slime or goop?

When I was a newbie, when I thought of purchasing gold accounts from another user, I thought of it as an item. AND THIS IS GREAT! But might it reduce a number of the money subeta gets to pay for the site?

Good question Tracy.
<br>
<br>Would it add the time to it, or should you just vault the item till your current GA runs out?

If you buy 3 months, you get a 3 month gold account medal. You cannot break it up.
<br>
<br>My only advice is to buy one at a time.

I believe you get one medal per month you buy. Like, you buy 12 months GA, you get 12 medals.
0
User not found:
Another question, can you break up the medals over months? Like, say you have a 3 month medal, and you know you will be away in 2 months for the entire month, can you break it up and use it at different points, or does it all get used right away whether or not you want a GA for that 2nd month?

It's the same system as the donation presents - it's an item. Then you use it. Instead of gaining another item.. you gain a GA.

You use the item to make your gold account.

<br>This is so that people can buy the medal and sell it in the trades and such, nad no one will get scammed. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
