Maharu will become famous soon enough
hello! this was angry pancake's idea, but he couldn't post it because he has a trial account. i really liked it so i offered to do it for him.

his thought was that what if we were able to make market tables accept currency besides plats? like if you want to sell something for diamonds, then that person can pay dias (or whatever other currency the seller wants to take). the seller could make the selection when putting the item up for sale. i think it makes a lot of sense as the whole economy seems pretty barter based already. and some items are worth so much in plats it would be insanity to try and ever put it on a market table, so this would make that possible.

when i used to play (i haven't in a long time) i loved going to visit the different kingdoms to browse their player markets. it was a fun reason to go out and explore instead of just bumming around in trade. it might encourage people to build their own shops again, especially if the playercount starts to go up & there are more potential participants in the economy. it doesn't seem like a really large or complicated idea, but i thought it was nice

then again i don't know much about videogames or fake economies so i could be way off here. but i figured couldn't hurt to post it.

I'm fine with that idea, but doing it in player houses is too difficult for people who want to buy. Instead, we should have a market where people can sell their items for Nihil, EC, and possibly diamonds. I'm not sure when we can fit an idea like this into our development schedule but I'm on board with my tweaks. Open to further adaptations.
