Updated PCoin room prices etc.

[Dleatherus]

on this bit i disagree ... i don't think you should be clicking for p-coins for that reason ...

you should be clicking the voting stones for just that reason, to vote ... more votes = higher rankings on uoshard websites = more folks joining = better economy, more pvp/factions, more folks ta have fun with etc

the pcoins are an added bonus for voting ... you can also hunt for pcoin monsters, new ones were just put in recently, and i know of a couple that are usually there when i recall to them meaning they ain't being overly farmed yet .. takes some exploring, but ya already have the hint that they are in trammel facets

or you can hunt for gold/items to sell for gold, and buy from folks who vote and/or hunt coin bosses

as much as i personally dislike the the coin price increases in the donation room, (the adjusting of dex heal stuff etc), have a little faith in the powers that be ... so far within a few short months they have created a shard that now averages more folks than established shards such as eclipse or abc

changes aren't made to intentionally hurt or punish us, newcomers or veterans, they aren't made with any individual, or group of folks in mind, they are made to improve our overall long term enjoyment of the shard ... as players who are directly effected by these changes, sometimes in dramatic (and seemingly drastic) ways, we tend to not be able to see the forest for the trees :-)

[Belegerandh]

True that. One thing, though, I see on any game is a wall between the veterans and newer players. Suppose that'll always be there and not much anyone can do about it. I'd like to see that 'perfect' game made right off the bat. It won't happen and there won't be any room for change. Change is good .. usually. At least it means we have an active and thinking staff and player base.

Skr*w P Coins. I vote because I want more people to buy my stuff hahaa

[Kanu Unchou]

i agree on the idealistic approach of your reply. ofcourse, players voting for the better of the shard is what everyone should do.
but let's be realistic. 12,5k coin and 5 pcoins was a decent source of income during their starting days, and most people click for what they get instantly.

trying to incorporate your view on this thing won't change the economic influence it has. then again, i see the voting stones go down in importance even more now, since half of the reward is kinda useless if only very few people want pcoins, and 12,5k gold is only decent at the start on the shard, now more than ever.

[Belegerandh]

Man, an extra 12.5 K (what I get) is a nice Reg padding in itself. Why up it more? Pandora Coins should be worth something .. to someone.

[Deadmau5]

People are missing the big picture of voting on the stones, the real true reward is more players.  With more players joining the server everything becomes better because more people to do things with on the shard.  I have not been on the shard as long as dleatherus but I have been on it since fairly early days of it.  Look at the 6 month trend of the shard since it has gone public



That trend is only possible because of the players voting.

[Belegerandh]

Sweet! That's good for everyone, whether blue or red.

[Dleatherus]

thanks bel & deadmaus .. seems i'm not alone in voting on the stones not for the coins, but to help the shard grow

and yes kanu, my view is admittedly idealistic, but if you read my comments, you'll see that they are grounded in realism ... and naturally i post my view, as you do yours, and hence the discussion :-)

[Kanu Unchou]

since i don't really have an opinion on the topic at hand, i'm only trying to find out what effects the new prices of items in the coin room have.
i can only tell you that before, i could try and save up my 5 pcoins/day for something like a pet bonding deed, but now, that would mean 20 days of voting straight, if i don't wanna rely on hunting coin mobs or spend gold on them.
think of me as the lazy type of player, and maybe representative for quite some on this shard.

i always vote after clicking btw, because i enjoy how this shard is growing and everyone likes to be with lots of people to play with. this, however, has nothing to do with the economic influence of the price change

[Belegerandh]

Or, instead of waiting 20 days to bond by voting, you can wait only 7 by stabling your pet and not using it.

[Kanu Unchou]

that's not the point, lol. then again, you have a point by calling it luxury, but i thought we had that already, and i agreed

[Belegerandh]

hehe It's cool, my friend. I explained in the other topic we're following. ^5 for sayin' how you feel!

[Arminius]

i also always voted on website when i clicked the stones, because i loved to see the shard growing - but if the prices will stay like they r now - i have to stop clicking those stones and thus voting for the shard.

One reason for this is that i dont want new players coming to the shard and farming coin mobs, too - that would be even less coins for me - now that i need more, lol
I'm really curious y they threw this stealth-nerf on the servers. Like i mentioned before the prices weren't too "cheap" - i still only got 400 coins now, after playing almost 2 months. I vote almost every day and try to kill as many coin mobs as possible. (if they arent already killed by you guys )

Of course u can say that those items arent needed to play - but then they should never have been implemented imo. Vets already had many benefits - just to name one: ToTs.
And the coin-prices have already been raised before 2-3 months i heard - dunno if it's true. Besides coin mobs were way easier to farm when less players were "farming" them.

I really hope that staff will think about that dramatical price-increase again.

[Deadmau5]

In my opinion there were a certain few items in the coin room that were under priced while others were overpriced.  Was spell channeling too cheap? I think so but I think 1700 for +200 luck is way too expensive.  The stable stone was originally 200 coins, it then went to 500 coins now its 1500 coins.  While 200 was probably really cheap 1500 actually sounds about right for such an item since pet leashes server the same purpose kinda of.

The only problem with increasing nearly everything in the coin room as they did is that there are still a limited number of coin boss locations and more and more people discovering and farming them all.  The demand has gone up drastically while the supply remains the same.  

Another thing is that coin mobs are the only thing in the game to get earrings or necklaces with stats on them aside from the one pendant of the magi recipe.

[Belegerandh]

Jasper's not going to be safe anymore. That's all I know.

[Domos]

I agree with the people who said it will discourage voting, I used vote every day and now I notice myself forgetting to do it, not on purpose but just because its no longer as high of a priority in my head... And I DO believe in voting for the shard good, but psychology is a crazy thing uknow.
The prices are a bit strange too, if luck doesnt do much for artie drops then 1000+ per luck deed is not worth the coins in any way. Things like the insta bond food are a nice convenience but once again past a certain point its no longer a convenience.
I think part of the problem is the "god" concept, you can change things from the cloud in the sky but to see what effect they really have you have to come down to earth and walk as a sheep with the sheep. Know what I mean?
