Where spent Gold goes
1 Gold = $0.01, always. Gold enters the game only when someone deposits $PUPI (priced at the protected USD price). Every Gold spent in the Gold Shop is split: part burned for good, the rest to the treasury that runs the servers. Nothing sold for Gold makes a character stronger. Silver is earned from monsters, quests and NPC sales, and removed by NPC shops, refines, teleports and the market fee — the "Silver removed" share shows how well that balance holds.
