TANEY SYSTEM AND ITEM MALL OPENS JUNE 7, 2006

Get your shopping carts ready as the much-awaited Taney and Item Mall features will finally be implemented on June 7, 2006 (9am, Philippine time). Read below to get the lowdown on Tantra's newest game updates:

THE TANEY SYSTEM
Kathana III introduces the Taney (or “Tantra Money”) system, which can be used to purchase either game time or premium items at the Tantra Item Mall. For each top-up, Taney credits will be loaded in the user’s e-wallet. Top-up load and Taney credits are fixed on a 1:1 ratio. Thus:Php 350 = 350 TANEY, Php 100 = 100 TANEY, Php 50 = 50 TANEY Php 30 = 30 TANEY and coming soon, Php 10 = 10 TANEY

Game time will now be determined by the amount of Taney possessed. With this new method, gamers can benefit from cheaper gametime rates while they can use their Taney credits for shopping at the Tantra Item Mall!

Taney Game Time (Days) Expiry period
25 - 1 - 1 day upon top-up
45 - 3 - 3 days upon top-up
80 - 7 - 7 days upon top-up
130 - 15 - 15 days upon top-up
200 - 30 - 30 days upon top-up
375 - 60 - 60 days upon top-up
525 - 90 - 90 days upon top-up

Reminders:
1. The four denominations can be stacked to increase the value of the cash amount (TANEY) on the account holder’s e-wallet.
2. Upon allocation of the cyber-cash to game time, the expiry period of the game time will be shown on the top-up page.
3. The remaining cybercash that the user may have can be allocated to buying items through the taney system in the game.
4. If the user opts not to allocate his/her cybercash to game time or taney, it will remain in their e- wallet as a fund for buying items inside the game.
