Over a year ago, we made the decision to stop charging money for Fed and allow you to play for free. However, the costs did not stop - we still have to pay out money every month to maintain the servers that the game and the web site run on, and to connect the servers to the internet.

We fund those costs by selling you slithy toves which you buy with real dollars. Those dollars pay for the development and maintenance of Federation II. You can use the slithies in the game to get various useful and fun goodies, such as a navigational computer that moves you automatically between Sol planets, and a keyring that lets you into the Galactic Administration HQ's executive washroom.

We really do want to keep the game free, but we'll only be able to do that if people buy slithies. You can make one-off purchases, or subscribe and make regular payments in return for slithies each month. Please go to the extras page and help us keep Fed free.
