Congradulations, you have won SK. Now can you break up and go back to different teams so the mud isn't so lopsided? Starting a character in certain areas is a pain now. |

There are tons of lighties, and plenty of veterans among them. They just happen to be losing atm. |

Yes vets but when Baldric/Ardith/Syn/Thran and the trickles downs all are on one side there really is little hope. I have watched the logs and I attemtped to start a new char, but WOW I can't earn enough coin to buy armor, not even cheap junk at this point. |

That is an issue with Dulrik's economy code, not with the current balance of darkies/lighties. Who is Thran playing? |

Someone I am not. It's a pain in the [REDACTED], economic code needs adjusted, 7 platinum for weapons, 2 to 3 gold for newbie weapons, it's nuts. AND when the prices are that high the monsters aren't paying up, so that doesn't help. Failed experiment, I will go back to trolling. |

It's simple supply and demand. If you don't like the prices at that store, stop patronizing them. Obviously someone is willing to pay those prices or they wouldn't stay that high. Go to less frequented shops and the prices will be lower. |

Go to less frequented shops and the prices will be lower. The problem with this idea is that there is not enough competition in the market place to drive the prices down by offering cheaper goods elsewhere. There are plenty of shops that are essentially unique in what they offer, be it consumables or armor for various levels (mostly low-level ones given that high-level characters tend to get their armor by killing NPCs), and monopoly situations always create high prices. The supply-and-demand idea would work wonderfully if there was competing stores with items that are on par with one another, within the same kingdom. There isn't, though, and largely due to your insistance on scarcity of certain items and materials, will never be. Willingness to pay the prices and lack of choice in paying those prices are very different things, Dulrik. |
