money problem

[sekhmet]

At the moment it is way too easy to progress, it is so easy to get some money and exp killing rats. Planeshift will never die thx to it\'s open source license. So I want to be able to still advance my skills in the next 10 years at least. I played on this text based rpg game Elite mud for years. You could level up a character to the highest level in a couple of months. Then you had to remort and do it all over again...boring after a while. I don\'t wanne see PS filled with hunderds of ubercharacters that have all stats maxed out and all skills at 100 and all the coolest gear around. A margen would have to be made so that it takes like 5 years powerleveling to get maxed out.

Plz make PS harder devs!!!!

Last this tough too, at the moment it is good that PS is so easy, cuz it\'s still in testing fase and it is easy to help hunt out bugs. When the player database will be purged. At thar moment I sure hope they tune down the xp and easy cash!

i think this is a non-issue.  if you want to spend 10 years killing rats you\'re welcome.  it\'ll be a boring 10 years.  i am asking for the same amount of money, the same rate of development, just with more options about how you get them.

You forget to take in account that people will get stronger and better at skills fast, so they will start advancing faster, very much faster. With the current balance people would be maxed out pretty fast.

do quests...some good cash involved...i cant tell you were to get them or how...you have to read the players guide... the helper ingame told me no1 is allowed to help anyone else cuz it ruins there fun...so if i tell you...im afraid they will kill me.

Here\'s an solution to your money problems

First, provide easier ways to earn money, and then introduce thieves, who will be more likely to prey on the wealthy, which in turn will motivate you to use the money to train quickly, however......
beyond a certain point (somewhere around mediocrity) skills deteriorate over time, and the higher your skill level, the faster they deteriorate, and the more money it takes to train again...

This would provide a world of average characters (who hopefully focus more on roleplay), with the opportunity to become GREAT!... for a limited time, and, with some extra effort (if playing on a computer can be called \"effort\")... you can remain \"above average\"

after all,  isn\'t that what we\'re all taught to strive for?...

theives?as in npcs/monster theives or player thieves?
well if its player thieves then no way theft does not make an econemy better and infact will make it worse and as for detereoration.. well it would get boring after awile just trying to keep yourself at a certain point....and what about summer?taking a long 1/2 month vaction or evan just a week long one would take your effort out cause you worked hard to get were you were.

LOL..i dunno......

its so boring just killing rats for days there has to be a better way.

IMHO, the money problem it\'s not the hard to get them, but the boring that is.

Run to sewer, kill 10 rats, run to NPC, sell hides & eyes, get the money (do this 100 times)
then
Run to wild, kill 10 tefusangs, sell thots, get the money (do this xxx times)

Mining is about the same thin, but slower.

Maybe whit more quests and the crafting sistem runing we can get more fun of PS

By the way i\' know that it is a permanent test status and not a finalized game, but get fun wen testing not  harm anyone  

Sorry my bad english

Salu2.

there is also a glitch that will help you get momney lol it happend to a few guild members, you get negative like 1000000 trias and all you have to do is drop or give away 20 and it will become positive lol not saying its good to use a glitch to your advantage or nothing i personaly hope it is gone by the time i am back into the game lol, which may be never....... check a few of my posts or my sig lol for details on WHY IM OUT OF PLANESHIFT!

[hellboysatan]

ok....... i need to know how to get quests because i have been getting money from rotten meet and killing other useless monsters with my guild......... i cant ask them because my planeshift is ruind and should be back up in a wile! but for the time being i cnt have my fuinn ruind, how to get quests isnt ruining fun just dont tell me where to get them just how........ plus planeshift isnt a story game it will allways be fun:P lol anywho dont use glitches! bye, btw my name is kajeek i can help some noobs if they want it

[Pestilence]

The line \"I need a quest\" works with most NPCs that have on. Think thats about the biggest hint one can give without getting the GMs overhim

[PiVale]

IMHO the problem is the PP/TRIAS ratio...

you have too much PP for the trias you can gather...

in other \"games\" (PS is the 1st REAL game) you have money that allows you to by stuff that makes you win PP (or similar) and evolve your char...

at present time it\'s too boring/hard to get money....
people may simply give up on PS




perhaps a way to exchange PP for TRIAS and vice-versa
