    Newbie question.. I accumulated just over 250 coins so I 'purchased' a week of access for 250 of them. Being a new user, I downloaded a bunch of plugins. After doing so I noticed it ate up my remaining coins and I was -41 coins? Now when I make a new post or reply, the coins I earn goes against the negative number? So instead of actually gaining 35 coins since, I seem to be just working my way back to zero. i.e I'm now showing -6. -41 plus 35 coins = -6. Having 'paid' for the weeks access shouldn't the earned coins go to my back instead of defraying a negative balance? What happened to my coins I had leftover after paying 250?

    Thanks,

    DaV

    Here is a basic guide to coins: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-how-to-get-them-and-how-to-give-them.74/

    Some file downloads can use coins, not just the week access package.

    The coin system will not stop you from downloading but ill instead revert to a negative figure, and subsequent earning via things like postings will take into account the negative value and reduce it until you are back in the black as normal.

    Thanks, I just assumed all plugins were covered in the flat rate. No biggie as I've downloaded most of the plug-ins anyway. It's not too hard to generate some coinage so when/if a plugin is added or updated I should be OK :)

    Cheers,

    DaV

    Check your coin balance @DaVinster :)

    If you need to update plugins, you have some in reserve now.

    Begging for coins and spamming the forums for coins will result in a ban. You have already been warned via PM.
