    1. zen is game money used to purchase items from the cash shop. You can see how much you have by pressing "o" not zero.

    2. You have two options. You can purchase with real money by logging onto the website and clicking charge my zen and pick one of the ways to pay. Rate for buying with cash is 10 us dollars equals 1000 zen and converts to 10 ingame gold. You can also purchase zen from the auctioneer using coins in game. Exchange rate for ingame is ur choice since u pick what your buying but i recommend somewhere in the range of 110,000 coins for 1 gold.

    3. 100k means 100,000 . K means thousand.

    edit - ok i should clerify this part when you go to the auctioneer you gotta go to gold trading and set up a account first. It will ask for you to make a password, do no use your password for your character in case someone hacks your account. Then you just click and chose what you wanna purchase also the gold trading takes a percentage of what you buy like if you spent 110k coins its really like 133k.

    1) Zen in not game money. Zen is this ethereal non-currency that you buy with real money. Then you transfer the zen to a specific server, at which time it becomes game money (gold).

    2) yes, US$1 = 1 gold. You purchase gold from the auctioneer, not zen. The exchange rate is up right now so on Sanc you are looking in the neighborhood of 125k/gold.

    3) 100k means 100,000 coins. Coin is the currency dropped by mobs and used for normal stuff, as opposed to gold which is used in the cash shop.

    - You do not need to make a password. Unless you play on a public computer, this will likely be more trouble than it's worth. Don't use the safety lock either =P

    You can enter how much coin you want to pay per gold (after depositing enough coin into your account, which is brought up via "gold trade" at any auctioneer). You are then put in the list. Highest bidders get first dibs, just like lowest sellers have their goods sold first. If you enter a "buy" amount equal to the lowest "sell" amount, you will get your gold immediately. Otherwise you will have to wait for someone to enter a "sell" amount at your price and as long as no one is buying higher than you.

    But with lower prices more players will find it attractive and buy it and then they can get even more money =)

    But shure on the second way, the higher things cost, the bigger valute that things get so..
