Purely Hypothetical Question

This is mostly for Prime players, but you Plat folks, feel free to speak your mind.

How would you feel if Simu canned Platinum and allowed the players to bring their characters and inventory into Prime? reg

As a plat player since only June, I'd be really upset by this, because I have attained no special inventory of any kind...I would basically of paid an extra 50 bux a month for like 4 months for absolutely NO reason at all, where in prime even the hunting would of been ridiculously easy for me with all the available healers/spell casters etc. They'd have to be willing to offer all the plat players transfering over a nice item of some kind, like some special amulet that would allow only this select group to talk on a special net of their own...maybe allow portals in prime but only for plat crossovers etc. Something would be needed.

They didn't let people take wealth to Plat. Why would they allow it to go to Prime? I can only think of the monatary reasons why they would want to take their stuff from Plat to Prime.

So, let me ask question. That mean I can bring my stuff from Plat to Prime? Even though I don't play it anymore. For the people that canceled.

My first week in Plat I got a age hiding cloak. I have found several box founds during the short time there.

I think about it more. It wouldn't be fair in a sense. You did earn it in Plat. You did pay more. But items in prime are more expensive and harder to get.

So that age hiding cloak I got in plat is worth 80m in prime. But only worth less then 1m in Plat. If I remember Krystic bought one for 800k in a auction.

Plus, plat player's say its about RP. Not items or wealth. So why would you want to? Does this mean its about wealth to now? Plus you guys got things we didn't. Cheap enchanters\padders, etc.... When you went to a god auction. You got a unique item. We had to toss in tokens.

I think it would cause a lot of problems and angry people. I personally would like to see more items in Prime. Just because I got buying power and thinking of what I could get. I know of a lot of items from Plat players I could buy if it came to Prime.

No. It's not fair in my mind.

And for people like Donomyn that have ungodly wealth and items in Plat to just come to prime and me one of the the most wealthy people in Prime. No thats not fair.

If you look at cash value of items. Plat has no market. Now bring your items into prime. That would be giving you 1000's of dollars. Just a thought.

I wouldn't like it, but then again I don't have a level 80+ warrior character with some self mana walls plate or anything. My characters are young and crappy. Heh.

80 mill for an age hiding cloak???!!!

Good gods.

reg

Heh...Donomyn is considered to have "ungodly" wealth? I must be very rich.

But seriously...if just my weapons and armors were to be moved to prime, I would quickly become the richest character in the game. But, that'll never happen. One hopes anyway. reg

I dont know who you are platguy but I highly doubt you would become the richest person in prime...not by far. Man, I hope that never happens.


Krystic

Hey, if anyone reads this....what is the value of the rough Iron Orb in prime that gives ya self cast 430 with an emerald rub? Always wondered that. reg

that was traded for Thaloirs Eye which is selling for 225m now. But doesn't the orb do more spells? I think the rechargeable 430 items sold for 70m+.

You would have to have more the 5 or 6 bil to come close to being the richest guy in Prime. Then you might be close.

Plus, you can't compete with a corrupt GM making their PC 100m+ items whenever they get an itch.

Just curious as to what armor and weapons those would be... because, like edge, I do not believe you would even come close.

He was the only enchanting Mage in Plat for a while Makkah. But that was only for a short time. Having a bunch of 10x item wouldn't bring you close to having the most wealth in the lands.

People in prime have had workshops for years and nonstop pumped out items and hoarded them. Plus all the custom made items made for Prime players.

But they stopped enchanting dead in it's tracks because of 2 private workshops trading hands.
