== In-Game Shop ==
=== Additional Items ===
At this time there is no ability to customize the In-Game shop through configuration. If there are additional items you would like to add to the Arena shop, please [[Hosting#Contact|Contact Metsfan in Discord]].

If an item is added to the in-game shop it will be available for all Arena servers. At this time we do not support server-specific items.

=== Gold ===
Unfortunately Server owners cannot modify the Gold system in any way. All revenue earned from Gold will go to the mod developer unless otherwise discussed with the mod developer.

If this is an issue, you can choose to disable Gold through configuration. See the [[Hosting#Configurations_Details|Configuration]] section for details.

Gold cannot be given through cheat commands. The only way to receive Gold is by purchasing it in the Arena shop, or through a gift directly from the mod developer.

== In-Game Shop ==
=== Additional Items ===
At this time there is no ability to customize the In-Game shop through configuration. If there are additional items you would like to add to the Arena shop, please [[Hosting#Contact|Contact Metsfan in Discord]].

If an item is added to the in-game shop it will be available for all Arena servers. At this time we do not support server-specific items.

=== Gold ===
Unfortunately Server owners cannot modify the Gold system in any way. All revenue earned from Gold will go to the mod developer unless otherwise discussed with the mod developer.

If this is an issue, you can choose to disable Gold through configuration. See the [[Hosting#Configurations_Details|Configuration]] section for details.

Gold cannot be given through cheat commands. The only way to receive Gold is by purchasing it in the Arena shop, or through a gift directly from the mod developer.

At this time there is no ability to customize the In-Game shop through configuration. If there are additional items you would like to add to the Arena shop, please [[Hosting#Contact|Contact Metsfan in Discord]].

If an item is added to the in-game shop it will be available for all Arena servers. At this time we do not support server-specific items.

Gold cannot be given through cheat commands. The only way to receive Gold is by purchasing it in the Arena shop, or through a gift directly from the mod developer.

== In-Game Shop ==
=== Additional Items ===
At this time there is no ability to customize the In-Game shop through configuration. If there are additional items you would like to add to the Arena shop, please [[Hosting#Contact|Contact Metsfan in Discord]].

If an item is added to the in-game shop it will be available for all Arena servers. At this time we do not support server-specific items.

=== Gold ===
Unfortunately Server owners cannot modify the Gold system in any way. All revenue earned from Gold will go to the mod developer unless otherwise discussed with the mod developer.

If this is an issue, you can choose to disable Gold through configuration. See the [[Hosting#Configurations_Details|Configuration]] section for details.

Gold cannot be given through cheat commands. The only way to receive Gold is by purchasing it in the Arena shop, or through a gift directly from the mod developer.

==== Revenue Sharing ====
If you would like to add new cosmetic items to the shop which are your own intellectual property, please [[Hosting#Contact|Contact Metsfan in Discord]] and we can discuss a revenue sharing opportunity.
