Bank Extension....and Shop Ownership? A Thought.
#30735 - 07/28/07 11:53 AM |
How 'bout an extension of the bank? Instead of 1 page, extend it to 3 pages, same as the weapons/armor vendors. And, I'm not sure if it was mentioned, I've seen it once in a game waaaaay back, for the old NES, Dragon Warrior III. How bout the option to own your own shop/vendor. As in, make the option to purchase your own hut/stand for an outrageous amount of money (to limit the number of people able to do so) to like 100 Million. Then, allow the member to stock their little hut/shop, with goods, and collect money from sales. There's room in the world for this, yes, added graphics would be needed, I just think it would be a nice idea. -------------------- Bannister Lvl 64 Shadow Wizard World 2 Mostly |

Yeah, that ain't bad..I think that would basically take care of the shop idea. I would still like to have more slots in bank though. I'm almost out of room. Paying 5 bucks a month, we should be able to store as much as we want, and like the shops/vendors, it would be nice to have 1 page Weapons, 1 page Armor, jewelry, 1 page boots, etc.....or whatever you want. -------------------- Bannister Lvl 64 Shadow Wizard World 2 Mostly |

Prior to the "classless" system build, I thought there was enough room in the bank. After all, I had room for a set of fighter gear and ranger gear. Now, instead of vendoring interesting items, I want to keep them for "what if?" build scenarios and experimentation in order to take more advantage of the system. -------------------- ~Ripper Complainers of the World Unite NOT Ripper in game...

Yes, exactly, I keep all my mythics too, for that, what if? scenario where someone wants to trade, and has something useful for me to use. I've got a whole bank full of them, and not much room for anything else, I find myself selling alot of armor, etc... that I could use a few lvls down the line, just for lack of room. It couldn't be much work to add a few more pages to bank, as the vendors have 3, don't see it being a problem. -------------------- Bannister Lvl 64 Shadow Wizard World 2 Mostly |

Yep, the first idea i like, maybe instead of 3 pages, just 2, why? Well in a MMORPG it happends often that easy way of power leveling, overpowered skills, easy farming ect are removed, because there needs to be some challange, in any way. It's also a challange to keep as less items as possible. But 1 page of this format is indeed a bit too small. The shop idea.. I like it a bit less. You would be able to buy rainbows easy, and good ones also, and that would kind of screw up the drop rates. Also it doesn't really fit in this kind of game in my opinion, this is a kill kill kill game, not a game where you can run your own shop (and from other suggestions) houses, skills ect. LR.  -------------------- As a current fact we know, that LIVING things are of more value than DEAD things. Come 'n visit sometime, you might like it. The Townstons Wiki Archive! |

Lots of good ideas being posted here! First off, a 3 page bank is in the works. It should coincide with the build after this one. I dig the shop idea, but perhaps this is something that would be better for guilds to have. Ripper, that was a great suggestion as well. I had missed that one when you posted it. Thanks for re-linking it. Again, all of you have given us some really cool things to think about. Oh, and a secure trade interface is now at the top of the list, so expect to see one of those very soo as well. -------------------- MarkT Lead Designer |

The store idea, you mentioned about selling rainbows. People would only sell their rainbows if they chose to do so, and could sell at whatever price they wanted. That's not going to do anything to the drop rate, as opposed to people in towns just giving away rainbows to people. It's the same thing, if people knew they could sell them, or put them into their own shop, and fix price to whatever they want, I doubt there'd be as many give-aways, people would pay, and that would not mess with drop rate. -------------------- Bannister Lvl 64 Shadow Wizard World 2 Mostly |

Thanks for the update Mark. 3 bank pages = great! Is that going to be 3 pages/character or shared amongst the accounts, though? -------------------- ~Ripper Complainers of the World Unite NOT Ripper in game... NOT McGee in game...

Quote: If any form of selling for gold goes into the game it will ruin the game, and thankfully Stephen has already said that there will be no selling/buying item drops for gold. That being said, if guilds do make it into game some form of guild shop/bank being implemented would be a good thing. But anything like that would need some good management tools. Such as allowing different guild ranks different withdrawal priveliges i.e the higher a rank the larger number of items that can be withdrawn in a specific period. In addition a log of withdrawals/deposits would be needed as would a level limit on the withdrawal of items by anyone other than guild officers. I'm sure there are more things that could be added but i'd seen these suggestions as the minimum required. |

Well yes having the 3 pages in the bank for the up coming ability to create more then one charaacter is GREAT! However another simple way to improve your storage space as well as your carrying cap. would be to simply allow bags or other types of containers. Many games have taken this route and it has proven very successful in meeting the players needs for extra space. Just my two coppers worth of an idea/concept, but I bet if you poll the players, you'll find that containers for extra space will be greatly smiled upon. |

Would love to see the ability to have a small shared bank space between your characters: Your Fighter found a great new level 7 bow, you place it in the shared slot in the bank, log in with the ranger and off you go! I am happy to give items to other folks, but you know... Charity starts at home! LOL! (note: shared bank slot idea unabashedly stolen from EQ) |

Shared bank between toons on one account has already been denied. Can't find the thread that states it but came from a red. -------------------- I was young and needed the experience points. |

I would like a 3 pages shared bank amongst your 3 characters. That way, it still equates to one page per character for those who so choose to use all three character slots (and can be easily organized as such). Otherwise, those who only play one or two characters simply have extra room. Especially when you get to know more people in the game and start saving equipment to give others, or as you progress in level and want to test multiple "builds". -------------------- Areli Level 100 Ranger |
