Cash
« on: October 19, 2003, 02:00:36 pm »
When you create a new character, you can choose, as an advantage, to be rich, or very rich. Wont this be exploited? People create a new character, give the cash to a friend, log off, delete the character, and create a new one? Doin this thing for, lets say an hour, would give lots of cash, and a few rare items aswell. How will this be handled? One character per day or?

I don\'t think it would have been a problem, but now all the stupid noobs will read this and do it.  :P

Anyway, yes I think that maybe u can either have 1 character per day, or u can delete a character a day. But really this can\'t be stopped, as u can just make more than 1 account and do it.

You can also give your starting inventory, so what is your point?

there will always be something to exploit... nevertheless we will look into as many exploits as we can to see what we can do... however you should be aware that alot will change in CB.

Your starting-inventory, if there will be such a thing, wont be worth shit. 300 trias on the other hand will.

There are a few ways you can appraoch this problem.

1. You can make it so the gold the person recieves at creation is not \'gold\', but an item flagged for sale only. This would prevent them from handing it over to a mule until they re-create.

2. Instead of using gold at creation, make the extra cash something like a bond. Maybe have it so the funds don\'t \'mature\' until say lvl 5 or so. This would keep people from deleting and recreating daily. It wont keep them from doing it, but they would think twice about dumping that much effort into a char they are going to delete.

You can choose that as an advantage when you create your character, it states how much you get :P
Not sure if it was 300 trias though ;)

Rich + Very Rich = 300 more trias at start. If there are things to be changed in CB, I would like to know what they will be so I don\'t waste my points on char creation for infra vison if it will not be implemented, that would disapoint many prospective players as well. :(
