EntropiaForum Dollars (often called EFD) are the "currency" of EntropiaForum.
Members earn EFDs through various forum activities (explained below), and can use accumulated EFDs to purchase items in the EFD store, donate to friends, play games in the arcade, etc.
The exact formula for the awarding of EFDs varies in many ways, depending on the forum in which a thread is created, length and rating of thread, and several other factors. The best way to earn EFDs is to be an active and regularly contributing member of the forum, and by creating interesting and popular threads in the proper forums. Moderators and admins will also regularly award EFDs to members who exhibit exceptional contrbutions to the EF community.
Certain luxury items in the EFD store have an additional tax; your total price for any item (including any tax or discounts) can be seen on the item purchase confirmation page.
Loyal Member Discount - In the EFD Store, anyone who has been a member of EF for 1 year (365 days) receives a 5% discount on all purchses.
Premium Member Discounts
Adjusted - 5%
Improved - 10%
Modified- 20%
**Discounts are cumulative (e.g. If you are a member for more than 1 year, and you are a Modified member, you will enjoy a 25% discount in the EFD Store).
The EFD system is in place to reward members for their contributions to the EF community, and to enhance the user experience on EF. We plan to continually refine and expand the EFD system and items available for purchase. We hope you enjoy the EFD system, and welcome any suggestions for improvements in this thread.
***Any abuse, manipulation or interference of the EFD system will result in the immediate loss of all accumulated EFDs, and exclusion from the EFD system, and/or banning from EF.***
EFD Store Maintenance
The EFD Store is still being recoded, therefore some of the information in this thread is either outdated, inactive or both, and some of the links may be broken.
Once the new EFD store is launched, a new EFD thread will be created.

How to Earn EFDs
- Creating new threads - Every time you create a thread, you receive EFDs; the amount awarded for a new thread varies depending on the forum. In order to encourage members to post new threads in the proper forum or subforum, any threads or posts made in the General Discussion forum earn no EFDs. Similarly, the trading and off-topic forums do not award EFDs. You receive additional EFDs for creating a poll within your thread.
- Replying to threads - You also receive EFDs by posting replies to other members' threads
- Replies to your threads - You receive EFDs every time another EF member responds to a thread you have created.
- Views of your threads - You also receive a small amount of EFDs each time a logged-in member views a thread you have created (once per 24 hours, so repeatedly refreshing pages to unfairly earn EFDs will not work).
- EFD Bank - You can deposit your unused EFDs in the EFD Bank, and earn 1% interest per month.
- EFD Member Paychecks - All members who are active within the previous 7 days earn a weekly "paycheck". Premium Members earn a bigger EFD paycheck, among other features.
- EFD Lottery - Take a chance in the EFD lottery and try to win some EFDs from your fellow forum members.
- **NEW**EFD Global Screenshot Competition - Earn EFDs while Hunting! Promote EntropiaForum in your hunting team name, and post screenshots to earn EFDs!

Where to spend EFDs
- EFD Store - The EFD store offers many ways to spend your hard earned EFDs: Custom titles, colored, glowing, and shadowed usernames and titles, bumping and debumping threads, and much more. You can even change the custom title of other members.
- Donations - You can donate EFDs to friends or members who have impressed you with their postings or contrubutions to the community. Donations can made directly within a thread by clicking the "Donate" link under a member's avatar, or by visiting the EFD store.
- EFD Auctions - Purchase EU items from other members using EFDs.
- EFD Lottery - Purchase tickets in the daily and weekly EFD Lottery drawings
- Arcade - Play games in the Arcade. Each game costs a certain number of EFDs, or you can purchase an unlimited pass which will allow you to play games for free for 10 days.
- EF Adspace - Purchase Adspace on EntropiaForum to promote your events, sales threads or other EU-related campaigns
- Gifts - Give gift icons of EU items and Unlocked Skills that appear near a member's avatar in threads.
