Topic: Faldon's Economy ** ANY GM PLEASE **
Hello GM's... Please consider to do fixes on the current client. As I see it, and I know there are several people that share this thought. The player base is descending and will continue to drop untill it finally dies. I know this has been said before but it is around the corner. If there is no current client, there will be no good base for the new client. I think you should support the loyal players, aswell as the new players. Especially the new players, they get no fair chance to get rich, except for camping months and months to get a couple items. The Brazillians have no chance either, they are lucky they get helped by other brazillians with pets.. But that is about all they can do. These Brazillians been playing for 2 years now, and I still have to see one of them exceed an average rich regular. So please, Mister GameMaster. CONSIDER HELPING THE CURRENT VERSION.
PLEASE, BEFORE READING... DO NOT THINK AS AN INDIVIDUALIST AND BE LIKE:OMG NO MY PRECIOUS ITEMS.. THINK ABOUT WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GAME, AND NOT JUST FOR YOU.. IF THERE IS NO GAME, THERE IS NO YOU IN THE GAME
If you got any other ideas than the ones below, please share them and i will add them in this post. Please make sure that these ideas are good for the game and not for yourself, no selfish motives, please.
This is a shout out for Faldon's Economy. It has been bad for a long time and there are several reasons for this.
Us players can not fix an economy without a little help from the GMs, yet what we can do, is give ideas. So this is my share on this.
The following is a complete idea and not seperate ones. As one fix will not help the economy, several will.
Though, they can be done seperatly, except Removing Tinker.. If that would be done, other good solutions has to be involved, as I have summed up some below.
Remove Tinker
At the moment there are too many items and too less gold in the game. This could be easily solved ofcourse if people stop thinking individualistic, but this wont happen, sadly. Making it so that items will get destroyed over time, items will get a solid value, aswell as people are willing to buy better items to level or PK in. The prices will decrease ofcourse and items will be hard to get for the lower class in Faldon, except when:
Increase drop rates and GP drops
If drop rates would be increased, items will be slighty easier to get. By this I am talking about the medium rare items and usefull items to level or PK in. For example: Artic Blade, Holy Cape,Artic Ringmail etc etc.
By increasing the drop ratings, the lower and medium class will be able to get the items they need, aswell as they can sell it to other people that would need this. This would give us the option to either take the time to camp, or to buy them with Gold. It is fairly idiotic that you have to camp for days and weeks to get just one item you would like to have. Only to try and sell it underpriced and be left with GP you can do almost nothing with.
The rare items, like soul robe, knight plate, war bow, bol .. should stay as they are, as every game needs ultra rare items.
Gold drops should increase too. In order to fix the economy , there will have to be more gold. And fairly easy to get for everyone. This will make it so that people can buy items they need to level or PK. The current gold system is not good, as you would get 5 gold pieces for killing a blue dragon. At the moment you would have to kill about 100 THOUSAND blue dragons to be able to afford an Artic Blade.. 50 THOUSAND blue dragons to be able to afford a mourning star.
This ofcourse is outrageous, though there are other ways to get gold and the items.
This system was excellent 7 years ago.. But time has passed, and a change is needed.
Blacksmithing/Goldsmithing
All the above will actually make these 2 skills usefull again. People would repair their items to keep them longer. Though the current system needs an improvement. If you have a 40/80 dura item and repair it, no matter what BS skill you got.. it will repair to 60/60.. This is not a big problem, but at higher BS skill you should be able to repair more efficient. This would make the loss of Tinker way more acceptable, aswell it would make these otherwise useless skills , usefull.
Dura Increase
This is debatable, but items could use a dura increase so they would last longer. By doing this items will keep a certain value.
Delete Blackjack and Slot Machines(or fix them so they are fair=p)
The casino was brought in to take out the duped gold, obviously.
That gold is not around anymore, as this scamming practice should be deleted or fixxed.. Smaller bets or a maximum of bets you can make a faldon/real day.
This would help people that can't stop aswell.
Indes Items
Debatable.
Though there should be a solution where everyone is happy with. (The individualists will hate this idea no matter what..I know..)
Increasing the dura on them, making them drop (Mrobe,SB).. Events where they can be given out.. Or what Mister Rob said, Quest Master should be able to make items Indes for an insane amount of Quest Points.
