Gold members are paying players, who get certain extras not available to free players. Players can currently memberships for up to 365 days of playing time, using PayPal, Wallie cards, AlloPass and other convenient methods. (If you live in a country where none of these are available, special arrangements can be made.) New players get most gold member benefits free for the first week.

Benefits of Gold Membership

  • No "The server is busy" page – You don't have to live with the "The server is busy" page. It will simply not appear when you are logged in with a gold member account.
  • Ability to turn off advertisements – You can disable in-game advertising.
  • No login time limit – You will stay logged in as long as you are active – the 30 minute time limit does not apply.
  • Drop-down menu with information – You'll have a drop-down menu at the top left (when you move the mouse-pointer over your name) with the most important information about your company and its status.
  • Company Blog – With a Gold Membership, you can publish a company blog which anyone – whether they are a Tycoon Online player or not – can read. Blogs can be subscribed to using any RSS reader.
  • Company logo – You can create and upload a 468x60 banner advertising your Tycoon Online company. Your banner will be shown at the top of the page when you are logged in, and will be shown above your company profile whenever another player looks at it. In addition, other players can vote for your logo, and higher rates logos will be shown more often to non-Gold Member players.
