Gold member

Gold members are paying players, who get certain extras not available to free players. Players can purchase memberships for up to 365 days of playing time, using PayPal. New players have a 7 day free trial available.
Gold membership days are deducted every midnight after the round has started AND if a player has activated their account for the new round by accepting the user agreement.
There are ways to avoid using gm days if you are not playing a round:
*Don't convert credits into gm days you won't need (US version).
*Don't reactivate your account for the new round.
*Failing the first 2, you can deactivate your account on the "Settings" page.
==Prices==
Please see the in-game Gold membership page for pricing and payment methods
==Gold Membership Transfer==
On the NU version, Gold Membership (minimum 14 days) can be transfered between players. Whilst on the US version, credits (minimum 100) can be transfered.
