Playfish launches new game-specific currencies!

Dear Playfish Fans,

Playfish continually strives to provide a fun and easy game playing experience for players. As part of our commitment to providing the best experience across all aspects of our games, we have transitioned our virtual currency purchases through the Facebook Credits platform for our games on Facebook. We believe Facebook Credits provide players with a secure, trusted way to pay for virtual goods and currencies while providing the flexibility to spend those credits across a large number of games on Facebook.

As part of this transition and to align with Facebook Credit policies, we are also going to change the virtual currency used in Playfish games from Playfish Cash to a new game-specific currency in each game. Starting today, we will stop selling Playfish Cash in our games and each game will sell its own game-specific currency that can be used to buy your favorite in-game items. The new game-specific currencies are:

Cooking Cash in Restaurant City

Pet Society Cash in Pet Society

Superstars Cash in EA SPORTS FIFA Superstars

Football Cash in EA SPORTS Madden NFL Superstars

Country Cash in Country Story

Hotel Cash in Hotel City

Empire Cash in My Empire

Rest assured, you will not lose any of the Playfish Cash you have bought up to now.  We are making it quick and easy to convert it into the new currency of your favorite game or games by using The Playfish Cash Converter within each game. The Playfish Cash Converter allows you to convert your balance into the game-specific virtual currency of your favorite game or distribute the balance across multiple game-specific virtual currencies of your choice.

To celebrate the launch of these new virtual currencies, Playfish is awarding a free gift when you complete the conversion of your Playfish Cash to new game currencies. The sooner you convert, the more valuable the gift will be – so don’t wait!

For additional information about how to convert your Playfish Cash balance – or to provide us with feedback – please refer to the Game-Specific Currency section of the Playfish forums.

Sincerely,
Your friends at Playfish
