Interesting that players actually want this, it's been on the cards for some time.
Payment systems and offer walls will be moving to Hunted Cow soon anyway, along with a Hunted Cow shop that will be used to purchase currencies for our games. Just so we can offer all our payment methods and walls across all our sites and centralize our code for improved security and more options.
A universal currency may be on the cards shortly after, I'd just need to sit down with Hoofmaster and decide how it is all going to work. To be honest there is lots of cool stuff we can do now this is all in place. Cross site messengers and notifications, just to name a few.

I wonder how many that have posted and/or voted actually donate?
Centralising the donation sytem is fine as long as it doesn't, in any way, effect the Special Offer regularity.
A " Universal Currency " I am not so keen on. At the moment if I wish to donate I know exactly what I'm getting from my donation. I don't want to have to convert something into something else when I make a donation. How would Loyalty Tokens be allocated?
A " Universal Currency " only benefits a small minority of Hunted Cow members as I see it. Those that wish to sell something across gaming platforms. This being avatars and Signatures. I'm sorry but should a " universal currency " be considered when it benefits so few?
I'm sorry, I get rather nervous when there is mention of altenative donation systems and the like and I don't want to appear selfish but I fear the impact any change could have not for me personally but for my Guild. The Special Offer in Fallen Sword is extremely important to me as it means I can invest further in my Guild. If this was no longer available under a new donating system or currency system then it could prove detremental to mine and many other Guilds I would imagine. And I know nothing has been set in stone but I just wanted to put my point across for your consideration.
Cheers.

I'm concerned about 1 issue potentially
Will this universal currency be only a "higher" level currency ? - i.e. players donate and get, say, 460 game credits which they can then allocate all into 1 HCS game or spread across multiple games ?
OR
Will this currency be transferable between players of different games - as in the graphic artist in FS sells an avatar to a player in a different game ?
If the latter, I feel quite worried ... After all, there is a rule about multies - what is to stop someone in this scenario from creating characters in all HCS games and then funnelling all the income back to one main account ?
I know they are seperate games, but otherwise, that's exactly what we're trying to STOP isn't it, not encourage ??
Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.
Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?
I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

I voted other and will explain here,,
First off my biggest problem is this should have always been the case. But that aside I got back into SS2 for a bit earlier this year and needed a set. The game is still going but not many people selling anything. I asked because it would have helped me a lot if I could offer to buy the set in FSP instead of FC and was shot down and told we cant transfer things between games. Changing now after I broke down, bought FC and made my own set is a pretty big slap to the face.
I havent tried all their games but it doesnt seem to me that te economys are compatable in all of them and terefore will cause issues. Not only how the conversion can be done but also how to prevent someone from using say a titan secure from here to unfairly get an advantage in another game? Would you really like to start Eldevin against someone with 150k gold on their character?? Then you have the avi sale thing,, do we really want avi makers advertising ALL DAY in other games they accept FSP for their work??
Finally the one thing that seems to be the curse of HCS,, anything they do for us gets screwed up by multis,,, do we really want the ability to make infinite multis in all the games to pool wealth in one character here?? Imagine a guy with time on his ads to watch vids on 10 accounts say for 10 sharts each and for 6 games? Theres 6 FSP an account a vid. Gonna see guys with names like johndoe14 with 1000s of points in upgrades and "I ave never donated" on their bio if they add this with no restrictions.
So in the end I got to say no to this.

How would this affect people from other countries that uses pesos .It should be taken into consideration that these people don't use euros.US dollar, or british Pound.or is it that none of thee people support the game.this is a game that is played by many from different countries.And in some of these country'. dollars and euro's exchange rate is very costly

I selected other. This is why:
First of all, In order to get FSP or any type of IG currency, you have to earn it or buy it.
Converting it into Universal Currency then converting back into another game means that the game you earned the currency in will not have that currency; The game that you transferred it to will.
So this means that you earned/bought currency for multiple games.
Though this is loss of money on HC's part, if people get a better playing experience, they might give positive reviews in the future which will get more players onto HC's network.
And on the multiple types of currency topic, why not make the standard method of payment Paypal?
Paypal allows you to use multiple types of currency to pay for the donated currency.
After this, I have to say this is possibile, but needs many restrictions.

Great Idea! Hope to see this soon! Would be very useful for the graphics community and multiple game players.

Lol we started this idea in the graphics community, glad someone outside has seen the merit of it for those of us playing more than one game.

HCS used to have these gift vouchers they sold in $5 increments. They were good in any game. My buddy in Gothador, Frankestien, had a bunch of them. Guess what happened in the last update... HCS removed it from the pay option and now he's screwed. HCS tried it once and failed. I don't see it happening again.
edit. I've reported people for trading FSPs-FCs. I've also traded USPs for FSPs to finagle payment for an artist that only accepted FSPs
