Hypatia is now adding two kinds of currency - Coins and Bits!
Your left watch displays your current balances, level, and experience.
While your right watch displays your local date/time, and current location within Hypatyia.
Bits are earned in-game from from completing activities, and interacting with various NPCs to complete tasks. (We'll have some more details on NPCs in a later post!)
Coins, our premium currency, can be purchased directly through your Steam Wallet. Our base coin package gives you 500 coins for $4.99 giving each coin the approximate value of $0.01 (USD). Higher priced packages will give additional bonus coins.
Nearly all inventory items and avatar parts can be purchased with either Coins or Bits. There are a few rare exceptions though, since some items and parts can only be unlocked through gameplay.
Finally, any user who bought Hypatia (or buys Hypatia before we move to free to play) will be getting a bunch of free Coins, in addition to the other items previously detailed in the forums.
Check back later this week to hear about our new shopping center, and some of the new items you can buy with Bits or Coins, and check out the discussion forums to say hi and let us know what you think!
