Gold vs. Steel

[Coneitic]

everyone should stop comparing Ps economics to the real life.... ps is a world of creatures not just human beings. salt may have been vital to us in real life but maybe not in the ps world especially to creatures. an example would be alligators. they store their meat till it is rotten and then eat it. perhaps people in PS need rotten food rather than food in good shape. now i do not know much about economics (mainly becaues i dont care) but it seems this arguement keeps going back and forth to how things worked in the real world. why not stop arguing about that and just go by how the world is. the dev's made gold the main source of money so thats whats used. i do agree that it is way to easy to get gold. but if we picked a material that was super hard to get, most would be poor and you couldnt have different classes of people. and thats truely what makes up an economy.

You know, there are some universal laws for each world^^...

now i do not know much about economics (mainly becaues i dont care)

... The fact you don't care about what is happening around you don't mean it is non-existant. And thats just silly to comment on something you don't understand

Of course everything in PS may be  the way we did not used to in real at all, but it will never be that way. Unless you want to learn how to live and behalve in PS with no base at all^^

Ahem. Kerol, do not assume I say anything without something to back it up.

[13:19] <Dopplganger (me)> Are the Cicles made out of gold, or are the a gold colored gem or alloy? It makes little sense to have countless Ynnwn running around with large amounts of a coin that gives them a rash.
[14:27] * Connection closed from orwell.freenode.net
[17:19] <Talad> all coins are made of gems
[17:20] <Dopplganger> The Circles are just gold in color then? Than you for your answer, sir.
[17:21] <Talad> yes, a yellow gem

Note the date of that sesson, and the date of my post, please. Then point out exactly where it says any of the coins contain gold. Just the facts, sir. Just the facts.

Dumb: Mute, silent. Of which I am cetainly not.

Economics are an important part of this game as stated in this qoute "We will focus our efforts in the reproduction of a real world with politics, economy..." on this page: http://www.planeshift.it/about.html

I advise everyone to read everything, then ask a few questions before you state assumptions or opinions as fact.

well you can tell servers are down... everyones responding quite fast to the forums.

and utm.... i hope your in college.. because you seem to know everything about everything on these forums. maybe you can put that knowledge into something more usefull then ps. im not degrading... complimenting. and niko im not completly ignorant on economics i just dont care for it because the economics that surround my life is me going to work, getting payed to little and never having enough money to buy what i need. that is the economics i see in real life. shouldnt that be the base for ps economics? or should the base be on something thats way more enjoyable to players

I feel a little bit ignored.

I SAID PLEASE READ THIS.

And as you are supposedly all too dumb to click a link I will have to quote...

I feel a bit insulted. Please don't peg some peoples inattention to detail on "all you people." Thanks.

Stonn, I took care of that already, and dismissed the points made.

I saw that, but still had to voice my personal feelings. Apologies if I beat the dead horse.

Somewhat back on topic: People were bringing up old gold ore values. 8tria!? Is that right? What was platinum worth when it was ingame? Am I right to assume that the "new" 240tria gold ore is the first attempt to bridge the gap between the old 8tria value and "X"tria platinum of the past? If so, I will just sit on my hands and wait for the new rebalance and get off my make-it-harder-to-get-gold soapbox. I didn't realize that the numbers for gold have changed so drastically. I still stick to my stance it should be harder to mine though heheh

[Nikodemus]

it was 6 for gold, 12 for platinum, 4 for iron and 1 for coal

[bilbous]

Last I saw Platinum it was 360.
