This page describes items in the game menus not covered elsewhere.

Briefcase

Gold members get a briefcase, a limited amount of online storage space where they can created, edit and store text files.

Forums

Friends list

Gold members get a friends list which they can use to link quickly to TO-playing friends to send quick mail messages. They can also display their freinds' forum messages in a different color to make them stand out.

Front page

This link takes you to the Tycoon Online front page, a place where you will find a central panel of useful items. The following tabs are displayed on the front page:

  • Login information – here you will find information on how much time is left in the round, how many days are left in your gold membership, and how much time is left before you automatically log out.
  • Today's TO-player – this is a daily lottery for players. Here players contribute token amounts of their TO savings to the TO Player of the Day. The TO player is chosen at midnight from those players who contributed the previous day. (NOTE: this is money taken from TO savings only. Tycoon Online does not enable or condone real-world gambling.)
  • News & updates – the most recent news items for the round are listed here.
  • Poll of the week – occasionally TO will take fun or informational polls of the players. You can vote here and see the results. Players receive a small savings bonus for voting.
  • Vote for Tycoon Online – here you will find occassional links inviting you to vote for TO at various online gaming web sites. Players receive a small savings bonus for voting.
  • Latest topics – Here you will find the most recently updated forum topics. Gold members see the topic titles they have not yet read in bold face.

Gold member

Gold members are paying players, who get certain extras not available to free players. Players can currently buy 70 day (one full round of game days) or 365 day (one year's worth of game days), using PayPal or Wallie cards. (If you live in a country where neither is available, special arrangement 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.
  • Graphs – Various pages such as Changes and Trends will have graphs at the bottom to make it easier to summarize the information presented.
  • Keep track of new forum posts – On the start page and inside forum posts you'll get indication of which posts are new and unread.
  • Briefcase – Makes it possible to create and store text-files inside the game. Used for local information, to-do-list etc.
  • Friend list – This is a list of your friends inside Tycoon Online. You can choose what color their forum messages shall have and use the list as quick links when sending messages, buying shares etc.
  • Design your own member profile picture – It's possible to design your own member profile picture by selecting from a number of parts such as head, body, legs and shoes.

Live chat

Log out

The Log out link logs you out of Tycoon Online. A player will generally log out automatically at the next 10-minute tick after being logged in for 30 minutes. A timer appears beneath the left side menu showing how much time is left.

Gold members get 10 minutes added to their login time if they click on any game link with less than 10 minutes left.

Logos

Mail

TO has an in-game mail system for sending private messages to other players. Clicking here will allow you to read and reply to your incoming mail.
