Graal Currency

[excaliber7388]

I don't see this being implemented.
It would make it more of a hassle.
And, once more, who would be willing to pay for graal money?

Wow.. Do you like not play Graal?

I think it'd be an effective replacement to VIP.
But yeah, I wouldn't bother buying anything for Gold. I already paid twice if I've got Gold, I've no interest in paying a third time.

I don't really see the point of this, nor do I think it's a good idea.

I concurred with exchange rates between servers. I think that is a wonderful idea.

Its a pretty cool idea, actually. This system works great on Gunbound. A great way to make some extra cash for graal to hire more paid staff or better servers or whatever. Just generally improve the gameplay.

This system would only work if servers don't get reset... or if the items you buy don't get removed in a reset. Otherwise it would be one big ripoff. It's hard enough getting people to buy digital items for real money... but then to have them not know whether the digital item will disappear one day makes this idea fizzle out pretty fast.

Also it really wouldn't matter what prices playerworlds set their items to. If the item costs too much, people won't buy it. Simple as that. I think it's really up to each playerworld what they would be able to sell and for how much. I'd also expect the playerworlds to be paid some of the profit on this stuff...

But this whole idea is unlikely to happen. Seems they've already put their focus on several projects and that's all they've got room for. If this project happens don't expect to see it for one... two... maybe three years from now.

Their system actually works surprisingly well.

It does. If I were to make an online game, that's the path I would go. (in order to make money from it)

The problem with Gunbound is that it gets really boring since they never do any decent updates and their events are kind of crappy. The game has bugs and issues that have existed in it for years.

Graal would need to be a lot more cleaner looking before they could offer anything like this...

But an awesome way to go would be removing the pay to play all together and funding the remaining gold/vip people the "graal currency" depending on how many days they have left... Either that, or cut off resubscribing and wait until everyone runs out of gold time? lol

Gunbound rocks. ;[

I can't imagine this being a replacement to p2p. Most likely it would be in addition to p2p. We can all have our pipe dreams I suppose.

**** the rich, I don't wanna see some spoiled kid running around owning me on every server because his parents can buy him a new mercedes every year.

I don't think you can prevent that really. People that have a lot of money can buy accounts for friends, buy items illegally from other people etc. A server should be made so that you can buy advantages (that's what gold/classic upgrades are about), but it should of course limit it a little bit so that you can still have fun with some basic subscription/item purchages. Many games go more into the direction to charge for changing the look (free players=only head 1-10?) or buying special colored or designed items or pets.

The only servers that can benefit from rich kids is Graal Kingdoms and maybe Era. But if Graal implements like "ADVANCED PHOTON CANNAN + 500 ARMOR FOR 50DOLLARS" then its obviously going to give them an unfair advantage.

Like if anyone has ever played Gunbound, the people from UAE (all rich) have the best items in the game simply because they have the $$$. The GM's dont even ban these players because they spend so much money on Gunbound. That's what really pisses me off.

Of course people can for example illegally buy items on GK, but that doesn't really have such a huge effect. However games that implement a whole real-life money system for items usually become unfair to those who don't pay.

The only server I can really see this being a serious problem on is Zone. Since, like gunbound, its a competitive server through and through. Perhaps limiting the purchaseable items there to things that just look cool, but aren't necessarily more powerful than regularly bought weapons?
