Is Zong the sound of one hand clapping*?
February 15th, 2009 - Hilary Jackson
Actually, unless you worship at the altar of capitalism, Zong is about as far away from enlightenment as you’re likely to get. Then again, it really does have a similar sound to a Tibetan temple bell, don’t you think? Zooonngggg….. (* click here for more info on the ‘one hand clapping’ Zen Koan).
One thing we do know; Zong IS the sound of super-easy on-line transactions on SmallWorlds, via your mobile phone. Now how convenient is that!
Zong in SmallWorlds in YouTube!We just discovered a great YouTube Video showing you exactly how easy it is to complete a Zong transaction within SmallWorlds - its around 3 minutes long, and shows you step by step how to complete a Zong Transaction. Click here to view the “Zong mobile payments in SmallWorlds” YouTube clip.
Zong - its at The VaultIn our latest 1.2 Release just a week ago, we introduced you to The Vault, the new ‘place to go’ to purchase Gold or VIP club membership. There are a range of different payment options you can choose from, once you are inside the impenetrable 2 feet thick steel walls of The Vault, and Zong is just one of three cool machines you can use, we also have specialized Gold and VIP ATM machines.
Paying for life’s small necessities in a totally secure zone
When you’re making a Zong purchase, your in-world avatar will display a Zong icon above your head, which will remain there for the duration of your transaction.
You can feel secure in the knowledge that The Vault security cameras are there to ensure your safety at all times, and we regularly scan the videos from these cameras for signs of any suspicious goings-on (we are particularly looking for evidence of any monkeying around, which seems especially prevalent this month). So far so good, the Vault - like nearly everywhere we know of in SmallWorlds - seems to be a place you can simply relax and go about your business.
If you have any further questions about using Zong, please ask one of our friendly helpers or moderators. If they are unable to answer you right away, they’ll make sure you get your answer fast!
