pay per use xfer chest in ave

i was talking with someone on reflections and trying to get some help with a xfer when i came up with a interesting idea of this chest

not only would it make single player xfers easyer but it would also be a money sink other than transport and potions i was thinking 5k per xfer or more if you think its not enough but given that most toons who need new gear are lower levels 5k seems approprate

i know some of you will say things like thats what makes guilds special and you can find other players to help but in the slow times of the server it can be difficult to arrange a xfer

anyway thats my suggestion so debate away

Elsewhere the devs have expressed a desire for a "player-driven economy" for gear, especially trap components. This requires the ability to xfer and mule.

Well.. I like the idea.. perhaps mke it MORE of a money sink. Make the cost somehow relative to the value of the item being insured.... Though it would ow would be nicie to have a dev cocmment on the feasability of this - Like .. how would this work? Would you be bale to xfer between any charachters on the same account? what If you want to go across to a different accoun?

why does a player driven economy *require* muling?

meanwhile transferring items is hardly difficult without a chest. get both of your characters in avendell when there's ~30 players on at about Hour 3-4. someone is *bound* to be waiting for the shops, then just drop the coffer and relog. easy. chest: not required. yelling to the entire server how lazy and unimaginative you are: also not required.

Inventory space. I have more than a coffer-full of trap components on reflection, a coffer-full of Time Crystals.... and take a look at the trade thread on Reflections to see what all else I have. Volume is required for an economy to take off.

we need not make it complicated --- and i must say its not a bad idea , it will eliminate all of the "i need help w/ an xfer in avendell / fd" shouts...

a script to instakill anyone that shouts a line including 'transfer' and 'avendell' and then writes "don't be lazy and inconsiderate" in burning letters beside their corpse might also work...

It's been said in the past that NS doesn't support transferring gear ect.

Aarkon Draco · Post by **Aarkon Draco** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 12:31 am

yes that has been said but its also been said that we need more money sinks so this is just a suggestion of another sink besides potions and travel

and as far as the guild suggestions go not everyone likes or wants to be in a guild however most need a way to xfer gear to new or lower level toons

It's a nice idea, but there's better things for the devs to be working on...

I believe I'm the one who most frequently posts about not contributing to meta-gaming. We tolerate it because its truly not something thats worth our time and effort to get worked up about, but please dont ask us to support it. Its just easier if you dont ask, then you dont have to talk about it and I dont have to come in and dash your hopes with comments like ... NO.
