I don't get this, somebody explain? Especially this part: "Now you'll actually know how much you're spending without doing calculations!"

Woof Well still gonna be the same prices tho.


Yeah but now it will tell you how much you have spent instead of trying to calculate everything from the cost of MSP.

Agony I wonder if it will convert your current MSP balance into the new currency when they make the transition. Would be a shame if they went to waste.


I believe they mentioned something about that. Like your MSP points will be added to currency on your account or something like that.

I'm going to stick to 360 so hopefully they continue MSP for it.

They will, they promised money in your account or even more, so it will be nice but you don't know what the exchange rate might be.
