Convert gold?

To give independent players more of an incentive to play strat and make some money in it, I want to ease the way of trading strat gold with cRPG gold. See options above.

Nice, that actually may attract some players in strategus. I'd suggest 3rd option, why? Simply becouse there are some clans/players interested in buying strategus gold, if you'll allow everyone to convert it, no one will arse themself to take a risk and travel on the map just to make the transaction. That would kill the market, so if anyone wants to put his cRPG in strategus let him transfer it directly from his own account. I guess it can be exploited, but nothing comes to my mind at the moment.

Well, that's not gonna happen - people flooding the strat market with cRPG gold would be somewhat gamebreaking, as hopefully everyone can see :P

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

Nothing I hate more than mixing CRPG economy and Strategus economy. I 100% prefer Strategus activity simply giving crpg-bonuses for your character alone (nothing game breaking for Strat), e.g. XP or Gold, titles and stuff like it that doesn't matter in essence. If this change is promoted the game will just get even more people who don't care about Strat to just sit and grind troops somewhere for then to sell them off to whatever faction, without caring at all about what is going on in Strategus. IMO: Strat = involvement, not afk = profit.

If small factions have a problem getting settled, then the number one problem is that the Map is so incredibly small now there's no room for anyone but the big alliances. Making the map bigger would allow smaller factions to do successful caravans for money to get started.

I would look to many other areas than this at least.

I dunno.  I kinda prefer that it's totally separate.  I smell serious future drama when someone leaves a clan with 200,000 strategus money (which I'm sure some people are sitting on that and more right now), converts it into 2,000,000 cRPG money and yuks it up on the forums.


Granted that does happen in EVE now and then.


Maybe what we need is a level of visibility.  Create a "view transactions" permission which clan leaders can assign to clan ranks.  You can then click on a clan member's profile and see their transaction log: money in, money out, where it came from, where it went to, and a timestamp.

That, at least, would let us keep tabs on our clan's cRPG cash stash.

Strat gold to cRPG gold I approve, to support solo players.

cRPG gold to Strat gold (via player trading too) should NOT NOT NOT be allowed. Buying Strat gold with shitloads of cRPG gold is fucking cheating.

agreed.  The ability to buy strat gold just benefits the bigger clans as well as they can pool more crpg gold together and are generating crpg gold at a faster overall rate than a smaller clan

What about cRPG currency reform? Revaluation and unification of cRPG and Strategus Gold? Just like in first Strategus. Don't you think that's too many millionaires in cRPG?
