Release 0.8.0

Version 0.8.0 was released June 22, 2012. It involved the introduction of a premium gold currency, which was said to mark the transition to the "new system" which paved the way for upcoming features such as customizable avatars and vehicles. Then-CEO Caspar noted that in the future, ambient audio would be implemented, with some audio clips costing silver, and others costing gold. Prior to the introduction of gold, all materials and in-game objects were free to use
