Pins

What are Pins?

Pins are items that when worn can be seen in your profile underneath your signature. You can purchase pins under the "Pins" section in the various VMK shops. Some pins are only released for a limited time, and these are usually found under the "Specials" tab in the VMK stores. Often VMK will release pins in a series during the weekends of a particular month, and these pins are made available for purchase in the Emporium.
