Title: Convert gold to EXP
Post by: TurmoilTom on October 11, 2012, 01:48:54 am
I love peasantdom as much as the next guy, but being able to pay a gold coin for, like, 10 exp would still be nice.

If this does get implemented it should have a cap, for example you could buy xp for you to get to lvl, lets say 25?

Thing is, that if it's 10 exp per gold it would still take 14,569,313,075 gold to do that.

Jumping from 1 to 31 would take 889,240 gold, so it's impossible to do it for profit by selling the loompoints you get out of it.
Jumping from 1 to 36 would take 28,455,689 gold. I have to admit, that is extremely low for what you're getting out of it. The gold charge should definitely increase exponentially as you reach higher levels.

Another is the cap solution, that Wiltzu brought up. :P

That's what the lottery is for, if this does get accepted, I'm spending my 2 mil on tickets in the next upcoming months.

25 seems reasonable the super lower lvls are just a slight speed bump anyway.  If someone wants to pay gold to skip it why not.

This idea would be a great gold sink and it would probably get a little bit more looms to the game which is also good.

I think it is ESPECIALLY important for the high level characters, as they would represent the biggest gold sink. Usually they are those who have the most money, and they are desperately trying to reach level 34 or 35, and thus they would spend most of the money for XP.

The lottery is a bad replacement for that, because the motivation (=participation) is not high enough, and it pumps money back into the system.

With 10 XP per gold would still make high level characters impossible. So stop downvoting poor Tom, his suggestion isn't that bad at all. Perhaps you don't think it is a good one, or you wouldn't use that feature if it'd be implemented, but sure as hell it is not one of those retarded suggestions which deserve being downvoted.

Would be the best way to sink gold.

But i do not approve of this.

Hmm I would start a furious gold mining with my alts while I use them to grind looms to my main. I don't have too much gold atm. Never really even wanted big amounts of it. Just to be able to pay my upkeep. Now if this would be implemented I'd have a reason to want more gold for sure. Not too bad suggestion indeed.

If you are good? I doubt you would make a lot of XP on long term...

I shouldn't disclose that kind of information, but if I used my trade profits to buy xp, it would represent more than what I get through actually playing the game. I don't play that much but still. 10 minutes of browsergaming would easily beat 1 hour of playing cRPG.


Also, my profits are quite stable. I don't trade items, because this tends to be veeeery slow and I don't know the item values that good. I only do LP buy and sell and occasionally being a 3rd party in a trade to circumvent the tax, and that isn't going to fail anytime soon.
