Event Coin problem

hampy · #1 02-23-2007, 12:01 AM

Lack of events has caused event coins to raise in value from 20 diamonds to 30-35+ this is crazy... I thought we were told that more event coins would be put into the market especially since the new items came available in the coin shop, how are players supposed to craft these items if they have to pay this over the top price?

Some people will agree that more ECs should be released/more EMs should be hired and some will disagree because they are glad that they can now sell ECs for more... I am complaining about the amount of ECs which are being evented off, the amount needs to increase..

Note, I am not trying to pick a fight with any of the current EMs for not giving out enough ECs, I realise you only get given a certain amount of them and blah

More ECs, discuss

I agree, i had to buy 18 Event Coins for a Inf sword today if i didin't i will have never gotten the Event Coins.

More EMs and more coins to play with. Either that or lower the prices in the ecshop. And some cheaper items in the shop (1-10ec).

I think more ECs would be cool. Especially with the new Items.. I had to buy Gale armour because there isn't 75 Event Coins knocking around to be sold.
And no way would I pay 30-35 for each of those.

I just talked to a few people on GK and they seem to agree, I would like to see other peoples opinions though.

Yes that would be nice, although I think some people may find it unfair if the items they have made reduce in price now... hmm well GK need more EMs thats certain, I would also like to see cheaper items as you said 1-10 ECs, that would be nice for newer and poorer members, anyway it would be good if we could get a large scale debate here while Sam is gone so he is overwhelmed with the response when he gets back

They wouldn't need to reduce the price of items if they just event off more ECs. If I remember correctly, they did say they were going to event off a lot of EC's to help people get the items.. Well from what I can see. Only 4 rare expensive items have been bought from the event shop since it got updated.
1 Black helm, 1 pheonix shield and 2 gale armours.

Some of the price of making event items should be converted to diamonds. For example, instead of it costing 45 ECs for Phoenix Shield, make it cost 15 ECs and 600 dias.

Yeah thats exactly my point, people arent able to get the new items because its just too hard to get the ECs, with new items more people are trying to get ECs this means that people are just hoarding them

which leads to nobody else getting them

The only problem with integrating diamond costs into the shop is that it will destroy the diamonds, lowering the server's total count of them.

Yeah that could work out too, I like this idea actually

It would atleast stop the people to complain that diamonds are useless, they would be able to be used for other things too

Thats true, well perhaps you can then sell ECs for diamonds, say sell them to a NPC for 10 dias each or something.. hm, maybe that wouldnt work dunno

Gothika · #12 02-23-2007, 12:40 AM

That might work. Cutting the cost down the middle, Half ECs Hald Diamonds.
It would give Diamonds more a worth. These days they are only useful for preping weapons.

Also I've got another idea. This idea is a bit weird and most people will disagree with it. But what if they was a casino opened. (on Events island)
Where you buy chips. And Gamble to win points. And you can buy stuff with your points at the cash in. Stuff like: Diamonds, ECs, Gold Keys. ect..

Damn, I can see why people would disagree with that idea lmao. I love it! Actually this would be brilliant, I can see advantages of this.Some people will say that this would not fit in with the times, but actually it would i'm pretty sure that people have gambled for ages, this would be great I agree. GK for Casino expansion!

Edit: Hm, you say on event island, perhaps this could be something that isn't an event which can be put on main and open all the time?

Yep true, very true. I'd be more than happy to work on a casino room if this idea was accepted (LAT)
