Make [Items + Gold] ACCOUNT based not CHARACTER based

[Phalanx300]

Items should stay with the character. However having universal gold would be a good thing.

I'd prefer only gold to be shared, because buying an item is a one time deal, whereas gold is proportionate to time played. The more alts you have, the more sharing an item would be beneficial.

If items were shared, I'd suggest doubling their buying price, and reducing upkeep cost percentage.

Why?

An item bought is gold exchanged for the item.
Therefore items are proportionate to gold, and gold is proportionate to time played as you have stated.
Therefore items are proportionate to time played.


With a large marketplace this would put an and to item wasting. Just have the main put it on the second hand market whenever the player desires.

If items were shared then you could purchase one helmet and use it for all your chars. Not sharing items would mean that you would have to purchase items individually for each character. There is definitely a difference.

[Rogue_Eagle]

No on items, yes on gold.

this.

[Osiris]

+1!

[Teeth]

I want universal everything, gold, items and xp.

[Izual]

Gold, yes!

Perhaps you should be able to create an item pool on choice, then distribute gear to a selected character when you want. Items can be re-added to the pool whenever too.

I like this idea.

Yeah I agree. This idea gets a big +1 from me. I'm sure it wouldn't to hard to implement a load out system and issue a char a few items to select from in battle.

[Turboflex]

yes please to item + gold share.

Shared account gold & items would actually help new players more than vets.

I only have one +3 item and with strategus coming back I need to stay at level 30+ on my main so now I can't retire anymore to heirloom more stuff which will keep me behind vets who have their whole suits heirloomed.

If I could keep my main at high level for strategus but grind out on an alt on normal servers I could still gain heirlooms and the wealth they represent helping me catch up.
