Concerning Weapons/Tria

[Dameon]

Hello,

A few of the Circle brougt up a good point on something acraig said... that Rubies will become Tria, and all our weapons will be deleted. I was thinking this was kind of harsh because we paid a lot of rubies to get these weapons. Could the devs make a part of the merchant page that allows people to sell back their weapons, replacing them with rubies/tria instead?

[acraig]

If you can find somebody willing to work on the merchant page to do this then I don\'t see any problem but I don\'t think any of us can spare the time to do this at the moment.  If anybody is *serious* about doing this then contact Talad on IRC to ask him.  If he agrees I can give them the merchant.php script to look at.

Shouldn\'t be a problem for me 2 do. I\'ll give it a go if I can get the script.

[Kiern]

Damn...I really need to learn how to do these things...anyone want to come work for me so I can?

[Dameon]

I started teaching myself php, and it isn\'t hard... its just the MySQL or any other database thing that I don\'t get.

[Xordan]

yuh, I been doing mySQL/php for ages. It\'s tricky when u start off but once u get used to it, it\'s easy. A bit like an FPS.

frankly i would rather see everyone just loose everything and everyone start with nothing. that would make more sense. Everyone starting this version equally is the best way to go...

[Xordan]

lol, it won\'t make that much difference in-game. Yes, for the first month... but how much do u think say a few 100(0) tria would make over a long period?? Not much. It just keeps people happy.

why start equally? this way we can find bugs faster.  there will always be new people joining, are you gonna ask everyone be wiped every week so the new people can be on equal footing?

[Phinehas]

Yes, yes, that was what whemy was asking. (Glad I could clarify that for you.)

NO im asking for everyone to start equally which means everyone starts with nothing. they find things and fight monsters and make their goods. in no way should we have freebies. even if they were from past versions they are still freebies.

so you want all char information wiped after every version upgrade then no budy would play there would be no point every one would waiting for a final release to start playing and besides it wouldn\'t be fair to the people who has supported this project dev or just someone active in the game and forums i may be a little new to the ps forums but i know when people are getting the shaft

[acraig]

Well, in this case almost the entire database structure has changed which makes migrating from one database to a new one much harder since all the tables have changed.  I am hoping that once we figure out the \'correct\' structure then the database tables will not change as much from version to version and migrating will be much easier.

[Kixie]

didnt you get the memo saberknight? the plan the devs have in mind is completely wiped out accounts. theres just so much new stuff you cant transfer a whole lot. thats the plan anyways it could always change but just about everyone agrees that we will probally have new accounts. but what im saying is we should have nothing when we start CRYSTAL BLUE. If we can transfer stuff from crystal blue to the next version after that then sure why not. but even then our accounts might get wiped again because there might be very high level characters already in game.

its not like it would matter anyways cause weapons are going to be a lot cheaper and affordable so it wouldnt be so bad if you lose them.
