For those that were in the Crimson Loot Carnival today at https://twitch.tv/crimsonlootcarnival - thank you for piloting our new wager & betting system. This system allows for a few things, you can create a direct 1v1 bet with one other person for things like duels. And you can create a pool with as many different out comes as you want, the winners get the whole pool split for them based on their relative size of bet. We can use Forum Gold v2 and other currencies like Charades Coin in this system. After the event is over, there is a proposed winner and link for proof added, then an admin needs to go and confirm it, if you set admin confirmation (this depends on whether the participants trust the creator or the creator & participants want to put the trust on TCM as an escrow for additional security. Here from the admin view they are able to confirm the payout or cancel and refund everyone. In this case it got confirmed & resolved, the winners got all of their forum gold earnings! Well done! If you go to https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/forumgold you will see that we are betting with an ingame digital currency which cannot be bought or sold as we are just doing this for fun! Cheers.

Weโve added a new mechanic to corpse scanning: Item Set Streaks. Items now belong to sets, and if you keep hitting the same set across item drops, your next item gets a power boost. The first sets are: - Standard - High Noon - Pinata Current streak bonuses: - 2nd matching set item: 1.5x - 3rd: 2.0x - 4th: 3.0x After the 4th hit, the streak resets and the next item moves to a different set. What this means: - item drops now have more identity - matching set chains feel more rewarding - thereโs a new chase beyond just rarity and raw power This also gives us a strong foundation for the future. Sets are no longer just labels. As we keep building, different sets can tie into: - specific games - themed events - unique visuals - set-specific mechanics - progression systems - future bonuses and effects So while Standard, High Noon, and Pinata are the first wave, the system is built to expand much further over time.

Relics are now becoming Forum Gold v2. Our previous Relics system served its purpose well as version 1 of the currency. It powered trading, escrow, transfers, and a growing cross-game economy. Over time, it became clear that there were bigger opportunities ahead for how this currency should work, how value should move through the ecosystem, and how we can support a stronger long-term economy across many different games. That is why Relics are now becoming Forum Gold v2. This is more than a simple name change. Forum Gold v2 represents the next stage of the system, featuring: A complete facelift Updated architecture Tighter security Improved escrow systems A stronger long-term foundation for future development We wanted a name that better reflects how players already think about cross-game trading currencies, especially within communities familiar with: Diablo 2 forum gold Diablo 4 forum gold World of Warcraft forum gold RuneScape forum gold style economies Over time, many players compared parts of our system to d2jsp forum gold systems, including discussions brought up publicly by content creators such as Coooley. That comparison made us think more seriously about the future direction of the platform. There is clearly demand for a modern, secure, cross-game trading currency that captures what people liked about older forum gold systems while improving upon them with: Better payment architecture Stronger escrow design More secure value handling Broader utility across multiple games and services That is the goal of Forum Gold v2. Supported by the Forum Gold Vault Forum Gold v2 is supported by the Forum Gold Vault: https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/forumgoldvault The Forum Gold Vault provides a more advanced foundation for: Transfers Offers Escrow Transaction history Reserved balances Future trading improvements Why the Change? Forum Gold v2 is being positioned as a future-proof trading currency for a wide variety of gaming communities. Rather than being tied too narrowly to one game or one point in time, Forum Gold v2 is designed to support value flow across many different ecosystems, including: Diablo 2 trading Diablo 4 trading World of Warcraft trading RuneScape trading Cross-game trading between many gaming communities Whether you move between games over time or participate in multiple economies at once, Forum Gold v2 is intended to provide a stable and flexible way to hold and transfer value. Stronger Economic Model Forum Gold v2 is tied to euro value at a fixed platform rate of: 100 Forum Gold v2 = 1 Euro Because it is directly connected to real platform value, the system requires: Stronger security Tighter controls More advanced transaction handling Better escrow protection This has pushed the platform toward a more secure and carefully controlled architecture for how value enters, moves through, and exits the ecosystem. More Secure by Design One major advantage of Forum Gold v2 is that it is significantly harder to abuse through fraudulent payment methods. Instead of allowing users to directly purchase large amounts of instantly tradable value, Forum Gold v2 is supported by systems designed to make fraud far more difficult and far less attractive. This includes: Advanced escrow workflows Controlled value creation systems Tighter transfer protections Improved transaction monitoring A serious trading currency must protect honest users. If value can be injected too easily through stolen payment methods or fraudulent activity, the entire economy becomes weaker. Forum Gold v2 is being built with the opposite philosophy. Proof of Work Through Corpse Scanning Another major advantage is the proof of work model. Using the corpse scanning system through Play With Purpose: https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/playwithpurpose Players can earn Forum Gold v2 while naturally playing their favorite games. This creates a stronger economic structure because the currency is not only tied to direct purchase. There is also a gameplay-connected path to earning value. Benefits include: More meaningful value creation Reduced fraud exposure Greater long-term sustainability Better alignment between gameplay and rewards By introducing a proof of work style flow, it becomes harder for bad actors to inject fraudulent value into the economy while allowing legitimate players to earn value through normal gameplay activity. Advanced Escrow and Trading Technology Forum Gold v2 is built alongside a modern escrow system designed specifically for cross-game trading. The goal is not to recreate old forum economies using outdated technology. Instead, the platform aims to combine the strengths people liked from older systems with modern infrastructure and security. This includes support for: Offers Transfers Transaction history Reserved balances Advanced escrow workflows Cross-platform trading utility Learn more here: https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/forumgold https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/forumgoldvault Inherent Value Through Real Digital Products A trading currency becomes far stronger when it has practical utility outside of a single game economy. Forum Gold v2 can be used toward a wide range of digital products, including: Battle.net Steam PlayStation Network Nintendo Epic Games EA Ubisoft Xbox This includes: Gift cards Games Top-ups Other gaming-related digital products This provides an important layer of long-term stability for traders. If activity slows down in one game economy, Forum Gold v2 still retains practical utility because it can be directed toward products with real demand across the broader gaming ecosystem. This makes Forum Gold v2 less dependent on the health of any single game economy and more useful for players who move between games and communities over time. The Future of Cross-Game Trading Forum Gold v2 is intended to support: Diablo 2 forum gold style trading Diablo 4 forum gold style trading World of Warcraft forum gold style trading RuneScape forum gold style trading Cross-game trading between many gaming communities We believe the future of gaming trade is not isolated. It is: Connected Secure Flexible Useful across many ecosystems Relics helped build the foundation, but Forum Gold v2 is the next step forward, supported by the Forum Gold Vault. https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/forumgold https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/forumgoldvault If you previously used Relics, this transition does not mean the original purpose was lost. It means the original system was successful enough to justify a stronger name, a stronger platform, and a stronger long-term direction. Welcome to Forum Gold v2.

Hi everyone, We've come across Make A Wish Australia which helps over 900 terminally ill kids obtain something they wish for, after hearing the stories behind this, we saw that a long of young male kids wish for computers. We want to grant a wish for a child registered for Make A Wish Australia every Christmas so we started to build out a system to allow our community to help make this happen together. Plus, this is a very good way to earn Loyalty Points moving forward. All of the information can be found here https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/checkpoint-info You can help us make a wish come true by playing a simple game here https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/pcgiveaway - it does not cost you anything, this is something that we are willing to bring on as another expense for our club.

Hi everyone, We've finished a round on the GiftForge. 1. Performance is massively improved in all regions. 2. Bug fixes and general user experience uplifts in the search was improved. 3. Now if you cover the entire cost of a product with Relics, there will be no transaction fee for the purchaser! TCM does pay a small fee on these transactions as we still need to pay for them but I think if you can cover the cost of the product with your Relics, then we will cover that fee for the forseeable future, members of our club and users of the eco system we are building deserve the best we can provide. I promise if you search for the right stuff, you can find amazing deals and basically get games for free here! And if you have enough Relics, there's not only good deals but you can discount products to cost nothing. You'll get a confirmation email. - It's also really easy to send stuff to friends through here, hence why it's called GIFT forge ๐ Just enter their email instead, half the reason we made it is because we give away so many Battlenet / Steam gift cards in the Crimson Loot Carnival and this makes it 100x easier to do that. And then you'll get your keys within a minute! - I've never seen it take any longer, we just have the disclaimer there in case there is technical difficulties and we need to chime in, we will always refund anyone who is having trouble or get their keys to them 100%. This is for our community and our club members, it's for you! Please try it out and if you have any questions, feedback or requests, do not hesitate to drop a comment below and I will answer them as soon as I can! We will continue to work on more value building tools and we are always open to suggestions on what would be helpful! Let us know what you want us to uplift or build next!
