The Crystal - gold Exchange rate

[Omissis]

You are wrong Adeli, maybe you haven\'t well understood that Planeshift is and will always be a work in progress just because it\'s an open source project. This means that every new release will be a new \'world\', a new \'game\'. In the next release maybe there won\'t be everything what it has to be. Maybe, for example, it won\'t be possible to create an Alchemist/Azure way user Diaboli because neither the alchemy nor the Azure way will be implemented. So what will happen when they see the light? All will be erased and we will start again from the beginning? I don\'t think so. So it\'s fair to change all the crystals that one has hardly collected into trias, octas, etc...

Omissis, you make I good point.
I concede that I was wrong.
Still, for me, conversion or not, I\'ll be content with CB
I guess I need the perspective of a rich player, like Kada or BKZeph... something..
thankyou for correcting me.

Is that why all of a sudden, I see some previously unavailable races on the players\' race list?

Actually the migration script is at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/planeshift/planeshift/www/serverconsole/migration/viewmigration.php?rev=1.1

And the conversion rate is left at 1 to 1 at the moment (probably intentionally). Rubies go to Trias. Emeralds go to Hexas. Diamonds go to Octas.

I hope that in the future, characters should be preserved better. When development picks up, we will be seeing more releases and it would be a pain to have to go through this all the time (losing weapons and items too, especially after the game is playable and fun). Luckily, they have created an updater that should do the trick for content updates, but that still cannot help upgrade to new versions.

The script isn\'t fair: 1 diamond is worth 100 ruby\'s, but an octa is only 50 tria\'s!

So everyone that has lots of diamonds (not me): change them to emmy\'s.

I really don\'t care about transferring my crystals. I feel a new version needs a fresh start. Yet I think it is good to give the people that want it an option to transfer their items. Now I think you should all be happy that the devs are going to let you transfer your items at any rate.

The fact that the script is already made may suggest that the devs are getting ready for CB and maybe the new release really isn\'t that far off.

That script is not final yet. The conversion rate hasn\'t been decided yet.

Hi,

it\'s to bad anyone has complete access to the entire code for the crystal blue release.

as many of you already understood, we place in public CVS only the source code needed to have PS running, so other people may contribute to it.

No rules, dialogues, NPCs, quests are placed in CVS. This is to avoid ruining the game experience.

\"Rules\" include a lot of things, like spells, combat rules, magic rules, item stats, and migration convertion of crystals from MB to CB. Every rule you see in CVS is a placeholder to have the game run, not the one we will use in CB.

Are you guys still goin on about this or has the thread been hijacked Oh well... either way ill be poor when i start out, because im startin a new game when everything is implemented in the CB release *thinks about CB, drools*
