Currency System...?

Guest

Hello Guest, my name is Kassa and I am new to the site. I have noticed recently that this forum does not have a currency system, i.e. money, nor some kind of trading system. I understand that since this forum also does not have a distinct magic registration, there would be no need to buy spell slots or anything like that. However, I think that if there were things like magic items, or equipment, people could buy those using in-game currency! Additionally, people might be able to set up shoppes somewhere (idk where, unless you make like another forum called shops) and earn currency that way. Missions might also be able to give currency or items besides souls. A currency system could also help improve character management.

The character limit is 10 characters. Let`s say that someone has 6 characters, and wants to create an additional one. If one had to buy character slots to have over 6, 7, 8, or 9 characters, that might be a good thing to improve character activity and make people weigh whether they really do want to make another character. Currency could be earned by posting, events, jobs/missions, etc. I do think that it might make roleplay more interesting, and people might be more willing to complete missions or jobs. This is a discussion thread for anyone that agrees/disagrees; I understand that this post is short, but I just wanted to get this idea out there. I`m sure that some of you have already contemplated this, and it wouldn`t have to be put into another category in the profile since forumotion has a built in points system, which can be renamed whatever one would like as a currency.

As much as I love your input and obvious passion for roleplay, I don't think we need a currency system for a couple reasons, namely because the lack of one is one of the primary differences between our site and most others our size. SERP's lack of a currency system has also helped shape us into the unique community other large sites are so often missing, and finally, currency systems have an ugly side to them in the fact that they turn some sites into giant power-grabs with less emphasis on roleplaying.

Sov has a point. The topic has come up before and the staff has talked about it a little bit. There are some fun and good sides to currency, but just as Sov said, there are also bad and regretful sides to it.

c: However, if the staff ever talks about it anymore than we already have, one of us will be sure to let you know about any further information on it.~

Thank you both for replying ~
I agree with what you`ve both said and I`ve been told & noticed that this site is alot more relaxed and friendly than many others, something that is a good thing in my view ~
I appreciate your input xD

I actually tried to propose this idea a couple months back and it was rejected... I'll bring it up with the staff again, though.
