Gold ingots for 700 tria?!?
« on: July 03, 2007, 08:09:26 pm »

Hello,

I am wondering why somebody buys gold ingots for 700 trias each, in an amount of some thousands. ???
I have no explanation for it. I asked the player who offered to buy the ingots why he buys them but he ignored me.

I got a PM and I was told that this player could be afraid of his money. He changes his money in gold, and after a possible wipe he has still his gold ingots he can sell to a NPC.
Is that the reason why?

Bepules is going to by gold and make gold stocks for harder times than now

Doesn't the wipe only affect major high pps and trias? I believe that is the reason for ppl buying gold ingots. I've heard a few different reasons, like ingots and and training won't be wiped, and so on...But really, what does it matter? Doesn't the wipe only happen when the new client is released? And by the looks of things that won't be some time soon. Not that I'm complaining, I am still enjoying the game and doing my winch access quests. But I am running out of things to do and I'm sure other ppl already have.

Do you know that there will be a wipe? It sounds you do

But even if there is a wipe of higher trias, what is the need if I changed my tria in gold ingots or gold stocks before?

Bepules walks away and buys some thousand glyphs, only 20% loss in case of a wipe

All should fear the Wipe for it's coming will bring forth the end of times!

Repent now, sinners! Refrain from your powerleveling ways and turn to the light of the roleplay! Only a character with a well developed history and background story will survive the Wipe, all others shall burn in the flames of Lost Skills for all eternity.

...

Bepules, just give me all your tria .. I'll transform it into a holy mushroom worth a fortune and whenever the wipe is over you give me that mushroom back so I can recover your tria with the power of the Roleplay.

Aleluia Brother @Zan!

    Your words of truth have shown me the way of the National Socialist Roleplaying Party, I have stopped levelling 5 months ago, and now I stand for the complete BAN of all the 1337 dregs of PlaneShifterkind! I stand for stricter rules against the absurd and unrealistic forms of PvP and I stand for a much more focused roleplaying, closing this game to all but roleplayers and requiring all to give a at least 7 lines long description of their characters before they are accepted into the server! You can call me a RP-Nazi as much as you wish, but the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with roleplaying in PlaneShift, isn't it? If measures are not taken, it will only degrade more and more, until reaching the lowest level where the anti-roleplays like Tibia and RunEscape lie, we must take action before it's to late! Bring the wipe to demotivate all the 1337! NOW!  >o)

   Now seriously, remember that World of Warcraft is a "family" game and it stands as a piece of turd regarding roleplaying. If this game is opened for all, this might be its final fate as well, unless critical modifications are made on the way levelling works, not only to balance it, but to remove alltogether the grind that is a completely anti-roleplay element, something I don't know if is going to happen or not.

A wipe is a different thing than an inventory balancing. I have never suffered a wipe in over two years of my characters existence. there have been several inventory balancings however.
