    @Southern (US1)   Gold Lock? What's that? :D Seriously though, I'm really glad to see that it's finally coming to the game. And you can set your own threshold amount of gold! :o    Oh, happy day! <3

                                                                       Thanks, GGS! I'll treasure it always.  <3

    Nice ...
    The threshold option is even better. Good job GGS :)

    The good part is that GGS is bringing everything at a fast pace now. First Turbo, then subscription, then swift, and now gold lock. All good additions.

    A lot of members of my co-op are buying subscription and enjoying it. 

    Theme park event ... Waiting for it :)
  • Gold Lock? Yay!  The NEW GGS management has given me hope.

    If the Gold Lock works like the Mobile Harvest game, it will be fantastic!  I set my threshold at $1!

    **Thank you GGS for finally stepping up; I've been playing/ waiting/ hoping for nearly 4.5 years.  Fingers crossed the Gold Lock has been thoroughly tested for a perfect launch.  I'm cheering for you all! **

    First thought?  THRILLED!!!!!!! 

    Next thoughts?   I'll be thrilled when I see it.  And if it works.  Not buggy.  Laggy,
    And if there is a cost in using it?    The thrill will be gone.

    Last thought.....  for me too little too late.  Doing some major home renovation and going deep in debt.... so spending money on games is kinda out of the question now.   Would have up to about six months ago.
    Oh well.

    Once this is implemented, I can finally recommend this game to a friend of mind who is quick tempered when it comes to accidentally clicking on things and losing what he doesn't mean to, almost smash his fist into the monitor kind of temper.
  • yesss!!! gooold lock!!!
  • Rusty Farmer (AU1)Rusty Farmer (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,705
    Of course, when it asks "Are you sure?", expect the default to be yes instead of no. :(
  • I though the gold lock was coming in, is there a time where it will be updated? did ggs "lose" the gold lock code? did they realise that it would cut down gold spending?

    It's coming in the next patch, whenever that is. Probably next week.

    @The Best King (INT1)

    If you have a look at the Official Announcement area of the forum you will notice that updates to the game (or patches, if you will), happen approximately once a month. 
    They are considered quite "serious" events since they contain new game content and bugfixes and performance improvements, etc ... ie, a lot of new code added to the game.
    The gold lock falls under this category (of new content) and will be added to the game with an actual update.
    We've been waiting for that lock for years (literally) ...so please be patient a little bit longer :)
  • ijrosh (US1)ijrosh (US1) US1 Posts: 1,325
    it would maybe help if they added the words COMING SOON or TEASER to the top of the in game message seeing how it is coming out a couple weeks before the update like the old racer or whatever it was called did

    i know, it's just that since we have been waiting for years and for some unknown reason (cough cough) they tell us know that we can have it. all we can do is hope, and maybe our wishes will come true this time.

    Actually, I think it will increase gold buying.
    People who are reluctant to buy as they don't want to accidentally spend real money, might be more likely to buy if the control is there.

    @ijrosh (US1) The Deco Valley event says "within one of the next updates" and the gold lock says "with the next update", so they thought that it would be clear enough this time - Admittedly last time it was not very clear at all.

    Just got this in Email:

    The Gold Confirmation

    With the next game update at the end of March we are going to introduce a new feature “The Gold Confirmation”. With this feature you will be able to control even more your gold in the game as well as avoid accidental spendings. The Gold Confirmation lets you set a minimum amount of gold that will ask for confirmation before it is used.

    I think that finally giving us a Gold Lock was a wise business decision by GGS.  B)   Players can now buy and use gold without the worry of losing their money from a wrong click of the mouse, when before we had the lock, they were out of luck. That made GGS look really bad. :/   I bet that the folks who work in Support for GGS are happy about it too!  ;)

    I for one am very thankful for the Gold Lock! Long time in coming :) and agree with @farmerjohn 22 (US1)

    I agree with the suggestions.
    I, too, have accidentally clicked on the skip for gold option and that costs me too much.
    It is better if I can turn off the skip for gold feature.
