PS needs... a BANK

[Avarus]

What I\'ve always missed ingame is a bank or a person who can keep your stuff. When I was a Xacha, I had a very low strengthlevel (and endurancelevel), and when I wanted to go to Akkaio with all sorts of ores (to try if I could smelt them), I could carry very few of them and had to walk more than I was able to run. If there had been a bank, I\'d stored all the ores in Hydlaa, then ran to Akkaio and picked it up there.

Especialy now smithing will be introduced soon and more items are comming, a bank should be very handy.

Hmm, why would you magically get ores in one town because you deposited them in another? Kinda like the magic chests in Resident Evil. I think what you want is probablly a courier service to move goods from one town to another. I\'d love to see a courier service, but we need something to pull the carts first

In real life you can deposit your money in one bank, and witdraw from the other

[Kias]

Yeah, but depositing items in one and taking them from another? That\'d mean that the items would need to be stored at all of the banks, therefore it would probably have a supply and demand type thing happening which would be annoying to say the least. I say it\'d be a lot easier to pay a courier a certain sum to move objects from A to B.

Those are not the same money, it\'s just an equal amount. And it only works for money, because they are the same all over the country.

I can\'t put my bike in the bank here, and then go to a different bank and take it out. Even if they had room to store a bike I wouldn\'t be able to do it. Same thing with ore.

Don\'t think that hard, just do it like in RuneScape! If you think to hard, your brains will become a grey pulp

He said the word that should not be said!

Off with his head.

What he even wanted something from it being implemented in PS.

Off with his balls!

the game-that-shall-not-be-named is not to be mentioned, while the system  is easy to implement, it is stupid and unrealistic - that\'s what everyone else has tried to explain, m\'kay?

If you want a bank, start a bankers guild. :-D

A realistic solution for a bank could be:

A central item bank in hydlaa with offices in every bigger city. You talk to the NPC and he will show you the items stored in your bank in hydlaa. Then you choose what you want to have and it will tell you a price to withdraw it (shipping costs). Then you either get it directly (for standards items maybe like ore, food - cause they have some on stock) or you have to wait for 5 Mins. or something for it to arrive (dont forget that airmail is possible in planeshift ).

However as for programming and implementing a \'mysterious\' bank like most games have would probably be the easiest - for a start anyways

Well the courier service as mentioned before would be neat and banks would be a nice addition. BUT

First, before you can have a real working courier service.. you need a bank.

After having a bank with storeable object, then you can have the ability of inserting a courier service to transport it to one bank to another for a small, but payable fee.

Third, as for the mysterious bank which could store/transfer worldwide.. FOR NOW, not forever cuz that would be stupid.. just for now have that implemented so it would be less of a burden for miners and transporters and such to live in PS.

If you want to set up supply chains, such as between miners and Harniquist....

start a business!  Pay people to do the work.  Start a guild where most of the people are dedicated miners, and a few people are runners without any mining skill.

Oh and you would just trust a supposidly alleged guild with your items? I think not.

1.  You could start a guild.

2.  If a guild\'s business is as a transfer service, they\'re existence is based on their reputation.  Any violation of it, and the guild could no longer exist.

What if someone just out of pure hatered or evil says.. hey they stole from me and I want my tria or whatever back.. this can cause many drastic problems.. trust me.
