No

The ability to RWT will break the game imo, I said game not economy. The purpose of the game is to get your cash yourself, work for it and by having the possibility to just buy it from someone for irl cash will make the credits less valuable over time. Reason here is inflation no matter how you turn it: people will try to farm credits like crazy which they wouldn't have in other scenarios, than sell it to players how are to lazy to do it. These lazy players will have less feeling for the money as of how much it is worth (in hours gameplay) and therefor the economy might give ruined a bit as well.

HAHA Didn't take long for the troll patrol to show up, learn to take some trollin without attacking ppl.

The only problem I can see is if Intelli/other mods did this, and seeing as Intelli just said they wouldn't, looks fine by me. And about not working and getting credits? I hope you all understand you have to work for IRL money , so it's actually more work to get a job and earn money than to hold the click button down and move your mouse around on a video game.

*looks at all the kids who got their parents credit cards*

Like they would need to work for it ...

Even if they had to work for it: 35$ (tehbomb420's price) for 100k means with a crappy student job you got that money in lets say 7 hours. I can't farm 100k in 7 hours which means ppl would accually profit from buying rc as the hours spent are lower by buying them for irl cash.

I don't think allowing it will have any impact on the economy/game. Realistically, how many people actually have the wealth to sell RC? There are a handful of people on the server who could and after one decent sale they will be out of credits and it will take them quite a bit of time to earn the credits back.

And if a new player does come along and buys 200k credits on his first day, who cares? Why does everyone see it as a problem that someone could have lot of RC all of a sudden? It has no impact on you. Maybe they are able to buy things all of a sudden but so could the person the RC originated from.

Uh, we wouldn't be selling credits. It would be people who have earned credits selling them to other players.

I understand that, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Summary: In my opinion people's wealth outside the game shouldn't lead to wealth inside the game, and vice versa.

The thing is EVERY credit was earned legitimately by players. I don't really know exactly how many active credits there is in the server but it isn't increasing it or decreasing it. When you buy and sell things it transfers credits on an equal plane. This would be the same.

Anyways. Even if it wasn't allowed people could advertise off server.

[jeniansmom]

I agree with Surgeon completely.

Also, rl "wealth" already comes into play, when people openly purchase alt accounts to gain the in game advantage of a second /home.

BTW, who are all these kids with access to their parents' credit cards? They should be donating to the server!

Just my (virtual) $.02 on the subject.

edit: Intelli, is this going to be binding for buying in game ITEMS w/ rl money too, or just RC?

Why did I click yes? I don't know. Those who were on the server last night will have heard me complaining about my criminal insanity...

...but this, although an interesting idea (I know that the mods won't be selling them, btw), is not the sort of thing we need for minerealm. All players are equal. We don't need some to be more equal than others
