I only had 100 rubies and 11 emeralds.

I think they did the thing whereby if you had lots and lots moer diamonds and stuff it was worth less, so you didnt end up with huge a huge cash winfall.  

LOL if that is the case i just figured something out- the way to get the max amount of tria would have been to spread your stuff out over like 5 characters then give all the stuff to one character after CB came out..... shame i didnt think of that.  But i suppose i didnt have enough for it to really make a difference anyway.

Wow this is awesome when it comes out expect to see me on forever!!! (.... i hope i dont just stop playing randomly then start then stop like i did with MB)

\"For your crystal collecting efforts you have been rewarded with 13103 trias to spend.\"

Bah i thought I would be getting more. If I kept every crystal I found I would have around double that, tis a shame. Damn you nice people making me give you items! hehehe ah well

but still the system does seem a bit weird. I had over 20x what you, ramlambmoo, had and yet I only recieved about double what you got in trias. I dont mind that much though, i was already thinking nothing would be migrated so im happy

yeah i know, thats what ive been saying.  The rate for changing gems to Tria is a variable one, so it changes depending on how much you had.  The more gems you have, the less they are worth individually.  Overall you still get more than me, but not a huge amount more (compared to how many more gems you had than me).  This prevents people starting out with 1,000,000 tria, if the rate was static.

I want to know how these newbies got over 10k? Is this bugged..? I only had like 700-800 in rubies.
How many did you people with 21k in tria have?

I don\'t think this is right.

are you saying there people are noobs because they are noobs in the forums?  Some people dont pay much attention to the forums and just play the game, you know.
Title:
Post by: Kwip on December 20, 2004, 04:56:07 am
Well I got a little over 5k tria from about 75 rubies(I had about double that but then droped about half).  Well you seem to be doing better than the poor folks that had only a real small amount of rubies that got negative tria numbers.  It seems that Xordan may have to pull another \'everyone redo\', I know that I would not be suprised ;)
Title:
Post by: Adeli on December 20, 2004, 05:43:47 am
I realised that afterwards ramlambmoo... Sorry.

To correct you, I never said \"noobs\" perhaps you\'d like to read my post again?
6k tria with 100 rubies 11 emeralds seems odd, compared to 9.5k with 7 or 8 diamonds and however many rubies and emeralds...

Using that logic I should have 630K, and others would have several million :P  But obviously that would make things unbalanced.   The system the devs used is obviously not linear, more like an exponential decay.  That way everyone has similar amounts of tria, but those who collected more still have a bit more.

Sure its not much, but for what I collected, I think it was pretty good...too bad I didn\'t collect more and get the ring though...:-/

I cant belive what im hearing. People are complaining for getting 4000 tria!
That should make you cry from joy considering a farmers monthly pay is about 200 tria!
The conversion rate was supp be 10:1 so it you had 10 rubies you got one tria. 500 rubies would be 50 tria. So fall on your knees and thank talad and laanx

ummm yeah.. but if everyone suddenly has 10 times as much, then everything will be 10 times as expensive.  Supply and demand.  I mean not for basic items but for things that finite in numbers, or that the dev want to restrict, are going to become a whole lot more expensive because otherwise everyone would have them.  Like a house for example.  It\'s probablly going to cost like 1 million tria now because lots of people have started out with 5000-10000. I mean it isnt real life so the devs could make everything as cheap as they said before, but then pretty much anyone can buy anything, which is a bit pointless.   We obviously wont know until we get into the game and find out the prices of everything, and ill be suprised if the prices stay the same as the ones they mentioned before in the player guide.
Title:
Post by: Kazorn on December 20, 2004, 11:01:56 am
actually i think some dev mentioned that it will be something like 100:1 (meaning i would get around 2 tria instead of almost seven thousand)

also, i only got a ring of the past on my past char, am i allowed to transfer it somehow? or would that be considered cheating since my new char only had time to collect 15 rubies (worth 880 tria)...
Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 20, 2004, 11:44:10 am
You can transfer money and prehaps rings, although I think the rings are binded to the player, to other characters.

The formula for conversion wasn\'t a simple x:y. It wasn\'t linear at all, so lots of things were taken into account, which had lots of things done to them :)

as you see the Econemy is not all accurate so maybe we only got a farmers month pay... and Xordan also said that he would still call us poor so i dont really think 4K tria is that much

Post by: Kada-El on December 20, 2004, 05:34:15 pm
From here it looks as though having all your crystals in one giant hoarde actually means you end up being poorer, as the conversion multiplier seems to decrease the further up the scale you go. Somewhat harsh I think, but I \'m now quite glad I didn\'t get chance to combine all my accounts into one!

Anyway, my combined total is in the region of 49000.

Some notes:
-The equation is logarithmic for conversion.
-There is a \'minimum\' amount of crystals for the ring reward.
-There *may* be a bug if you didn\'t have any crystals then it *might* not insert the name correctly and send the email.   If you didn\'t have any crystals and didn\'t get an email then post here and I will take a look.

Well there would not be much of a problem with it except that some people  cheated to get an enormous amount of crystals and then they would get an enormous amount of money without having earned it.

I got about 3,064 tria and nothing else. Thats\'s what I get for giving things away. I need to be more greedy :)

Post by: |Zidewinder| on December 20, 2004, 09:28:11 pm
I only had like 11 rubies, so I got 209 tria, and no item. =( I have no idea how on Earth you all got so many crystals, I would look around for an hour and only find one or two of them. =/

I started playing when there were not so many ppl, and for a period of about 6 months, if I tried, I could get 100 a day

try checking your junkmail, wether you spelt your email addy correctly etc.
if not, let Acraig know, he\'ll try to help :)

Typhorean, I just checked yours and it is ok.  So most likely email either filtered out or lost on the way.

Well i\'ve transfered, theres a few of you who owe me many many many diamonds (about 50 not including gifts) but ill let you off, im a nice guy really. (and I forgot till I realised I had nearly had as many tria as rubies)

The middle number of about 10000 R seems to equal about 14000 tria.

Post by: Keyaz on December 20, 2004, 10:35:08 pm
the rate drops as you have more crystals kwartz, i got 14000 with 55d 11e 2 r, with the ring of thingymajiggy

What if the second time,  i messed up typing my email ?? Can i re-do it ?

they just now redid the database, try it again. or talk to acraig about it.

Redid the migration after more bugs were apperantly found.

For your crystal collecting efforts you have been rewarded with 17049 trias to spend.
Because you were a skilled collector, you have also been given the special \'Ring of the past\' item.

I\'m curious what that ring is ^^


[edit] My crystal count was 2 rubies and 257 diamonds, \'case anyone\'s curious. -I- only collected 57 of them, the rest were from my mate ^^

Post by: Reikshallus on December 21, 2004, 02:28:32 am
Ok, so I heard about the bugs. I apparently, now, have 12647 trias from 108 rubies 28 emeralds and 30 diamonds.

Does this sound correct?

Yeah, probably is right.

Edit: You may or may not get the ring. You\'ll find out when you login :)

Post by: Reikshallus on December 21, 2004, 02:33:35 am
And I still get the \"ring of the past\"?

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on December 21, 2004, 02:43:45 am
If it says you got the ring the you got it :)
If it might be in quoted text if you are using gmail. I had that problem and thought i didnt get it. But I got it.

EDIT wait do have to redo it a thrird time?

Post by: Thenior on December 21, 2004, 03:02:19 am
yup, from my understanding, Kixie found a bug

Post by: Mordaan on December 21, 2004, 03:16:18 am
I would have thought Kixie found a bug... check out the crystal tally page (http://planeshift.fragnetics.com/crystal.php) ...
and notice Kixie in triplicate   :rolleyes:

and in the re-migration, I got the exact same amount of tria as the first time.

*waits for the re-re-migration*

hmm, I got 17100 with 131d, 640e, 6809r

that\'s one heck of a rate drop!   :(

(of course I\'m not complaining...I\'ll take it)

\"-The equation is logarithmic for conversion. \"

wha ha ha thought so.  Sorry just happy with myself for predicting this was going to happen.  If any of the really active players had of thought of this, they could have created 10 seperate characters and distributed their diamond arounf, and ended up with twice or three times as much tria when they gave it all back to one character.  Which is, i suspect, why the devs were so silent about how the conversion was going to happen before it did, to prevent this.

EDIT: omg i just realised why the bug happens as well.  Because the log of a number between 0 and 1 is negative.  My guess is the formula for Tria = log (x/y), where x = total value of gems, and y = somewhere between 1 and 10.  This means if you had less than 10 or so rubies, x/y < 1, therefore the log must be negative.  Thats why you end up with negative tria!  mwha ha ha never thought all that maths would be of any use.  If only the conversion rate was done on the parametric equations of hyperbole, then the other 99% of the stuff i learnt might be useful as well :P

EDIT 2: After much useless calculations i have assatained that the formula for tria (at least the old one) is
*** drumroll *****

Tria = log to the base z of (X/Y)
where z approx = 1.0004575
x = total value of your gems (rubies = 1, emaralds = 10, diamonds = 100)
y approx = 10.39646

nice to see if a dev will reply and tell me how close i got......

This brings everything together - hence the \"if you have a certain number of gems you might get a special item\" post that made everybody consolidate their accounts in the hope of getting the item.

Seems to be a pretty good deduction. Looks entirly possible that you\'re right :)

Agreed. It would definately be interesting to see the devs official word on the whole matter, I\'m very interested to see how this crystal transfer business was handled code wise.

i got a reply back from a dev, who said that my formula was close to correct.  it is definatly a logarithmic formula, mines not exact but ive tested it for a range of values between 100 - 27000 gems and its very close.  However they must have changed a bit for characters that have small amount of gems.

I got 12k trias and the ring.
I thought the rate would have been like 1k rubies = 1 tria,
nevermind, i\'ll be more greedy next time and not give crystals away :D

Post by: Ayshe on December 22, 2004, 08:31:04 pm
I\'m wondering if the equation also took into account how long you had been hunting? As a sort of, anti cheat.

For example, a two week old player with 800r would get less than a four month old player with 800r?

[[shrug]]

So far, it appears I did pretty well...

Ok, so there\'s an award for the power-gamers

...but is there any reward for us, noobie-helping poor sobs? ...i gave away all my gems several times (not that i had huge amounts of them). :( ...and AFAIR i\'ve been in MB since it\'s beging (on the forum probably since end AB).

and there\'s probably more players like me :(
