 * You will still be able to buy, and immediately spend, the exact amount of Gold needed for an upgrade or repair.
 * What's new, however, is you will able to buy Gold in bundles and carry a balance specifically for Battle Pirates.
 * Practically nothing - the system will operate just as it previously did, except instead of purchasing speed-ups with Facebook Credits, you will buy them with Gold.
 * If you bought something in the past, all previous purchases stand.
 * This is only a change going forward.
