...When its time for your character to take a well deserved rest...

So, I was adding in AoC to the MMORPG Finder. part of the database is reviewing how many Online gold sellers there are for each game. I was very much expecting that every gold seller would be taking orders and offering AoC currency.

Surprisingly not the case. Only  about 3 in 10 are. Of course, I dont expect this to last...I give it 4 days. Still, best to enjoy the virgin economy while we can.

"Cursed Be Iron."

i just hope they find a way to keep gold farmers out. Like limit trial accounts not being able to send tells or spam Global etc. Just some way to kill the account if it starts spamming sh*t.

Honor; from birth till death, maintain.

It will be intresting to see how the econ plays out in AoC, I'm not really woried one way or the other, it does seem every new MMO comes up with some new method to limit or control the problem but as we know farmers come up with new ways to get around it. . . perhaps sooner or later it will become more of a pain to farm and turn a profit than its worth. . . are we there yet? I think not but its a nice dream.

It is all vaporware until I see it go live!

So you think.  I recall going up against them in L2, trust me, they will be more than capable of defending themselves.  Its a business to them, afterall, you're just an amateur.

Im sure on a ffa pvp server there will be groups of people just looking for farmers. If for nothing else just to make their lives difficult.

They done something like this on a couple of games that I've played,  CoH and DDO, if I'm not mistaken.  Limited the chat and email capabilities on new accounts.  I recall it helping slightly, but it still doesn't stop them unfortunately.

This is the only time I would give griefers a green light.  Have at 'em

...When its time for your character to take a well deserved rest...

PvP servers are a griefers paradise. However,  depending on how big the market becomes, we just not be able to control them all. If the gold price is right (and high), you may find that they hunt in groups too. Also, remember that they dont care about integrity of the game. They will use hacks, mods, exploits...whatever. I doubt it will be as easy as a straight up fight.

 

Still, Im all for trying

   Do not worry. I am sure farmers will be Banned.  They have transaction logs I 'm sure.  SOME GM's love to hunt hackers/botters/farmer.

Lol. Agreed and I'll be making a guild for Murderers. If anyone remembers classic UO where you killed enough civilians (non murderer/criminal) you can get a red name and be feared and hunted by groups!

Which makes them just as much a player as the next person.  They have to work up their character, get good gear, and otherwise play the game just like anyone else.  Otherwise they're just another pushover.

As such, I want to kill them just as much as any other player.  :)
