Gold is worhtless

[Kafein]

agreed, and make it fair for those new players and also so they perhaps can close the gap to those who played a lot longer

1. The first 3 generations NO UPKEEP
2. instead of a increased XP/Gold ratio do it the other way round. 100% at gen 1, 99% at gen 2 ... 86% at gen 14(cap) (or start that with generation 9(that way the new guys were easily to gain 3 mw heirloomed items or make it generation 30(whatever fits the bill)

What's the point of retirement then ? May as well be called retardation

The game is already 'fair'.  Oh, I forgot, people want something for nothing, and there's the 'problem'.

[Riddaren]

There is no problem. The economy is working perfectly and since you now can offer gold for an item I don't see anything left to be done.

Heirloom prices will peak around the time the player base of crpg hits it's peak. 1 year from now?
After that they will slowly decrease as more and more players stop to retire their main characters.

The upkeep doesn't affect players who still retire the same way it affects those who have stopped retiring. The difference is huge.

1 gen income = 440k
1 gen heirloom point 650k (and increasing)

So a player that still retires his main character gets an income boost of currently 148% compared to someone who doesn't retire his main...
If you are still retiring - stop complaining about upkeep...

I'm gonna quote myself as it seems no one read it or is mentioning the same thing - the massive upkeep penelty for non retiring players.
You people are spoiled. You get 650k extra gold per 9 mil XP and still complain about upkeep...

ya what happened to xmascrpg?i went in there for a minute it was rather a fun peasant war i 4got all about it i thought the die hard's

would have taken it over

and on the other not the only reason the market prices are so high is because buyers have no self control

if you do not buy these outrageously priced items they will have to lower them....

there's no real need to nerf or buff anything,maybe putting in a market for looms seeing how people trade them anyway you might as well

give it a currency but that has been offered dozens of times by now and still it  lol

anywho whats the problem?its a sellers market sell your shit and wait till its a buyers market,

the market is where you gamble ladies and gentlemen play your chips or fold and sit out lol, im sitting on mine idk about yall

No dude, cause that price is NOT a permanent fact: If buyers stop being so desperate the prices will drop, unfortunatly they mostly view the gold the same way I do: Imaginary numbers that dont mean anything, might as well spend them hand over foot cause what else you gonna do with them. To lower prices we would need higher gold sinks and that isnt what any cav wants either tho, is it?

Nobody wants to buy my mw bamboo spear,  people are poor:(

I only started recently, but already am struggling with upkeep costs on a rouncey+nomad robe+light xbow+bolts+rus boots+nasal helm. I can't imagine what it must be like with heavy armor and an expensive weapon :/

You should be ok using that for a few generations after retiring and selling your loom point once.

Well, depends on your price. It's quite a good weapon.

Easiest way to gain gold, without selling loompoint is simply playing 1st generation with shitty gear. I gained 100k+ during my first gene and since that i've gained money with every generation. Another way to save money is to use shitty gear until you reach levels 25+, since before that u ain't too useful anyways.

Also if you like to play cav and have troubles keeping the gold in the bank, play without horse every now and then, especially when map doesn't truly suit cavalry.

Yeah, I've been trying that out before. Camping spawn, waiting for their cav to come by and then stealing one from a dead enemy seems to be the cheap way of playing a horse xbow xD

i use to just every once and a while dress in me pilgrim suit [sarcasm]AND ROLLED THE SERVER!!![/sarcasm]

but sadly crafting dun fucked that up Q_Q

im scared to ever wear it out of fear of missing a thine

[Entaro]

make only loom for loom trade possible, problem fixed

Best idea IMO.

Had to bump this thread when I read this.

OF COURSE it is costing you alot to upkeep a horse xbow. You should NOT be playing a horse xbow. Its not a class, its a joke that all crossbows are not unusable on horseback. It bears no resemblence to anything seen in history, should not be possible, it not realistically viable vs anything other than very poor players, and costs a lot to kinda make you think: This is a trollbuild niche I am in, I should just learn to play and not try to be a my old friend.

Spoiled? Funny you ignore the upside of not retiring... You never have to play as a weak peasant and always have a small power advantage even over lvl 30s. The trade off is you lose loompoints.
