If you bring back this planet, please oh please do the same kind of music in the Lydian mode! The music really made this area, from the cut-scene intro to the topside planet. That is all.

Hello Everyone! I can see that some people still find this thread from time to time and with strongholds and guild flagships coming up, elements of the "sandbox" that people miss will possibly bring some people back. I was Aethos in SWG on Eclipse server and played in CooL and Valor (-V-). I currently play on Shadowlands (PVE) and would like to meet up with old friends if you're out there! I'm planning on re-establishing Valor on the server once I get a few of my lazy friends to stop playing WoW. Currently, I know that Morgain and Crosyk from Valor are currently playing WoW on Anvilmar server in a guild called Assylum, just FYI. If anyone would like to hook up in game, let me know. If there's enough of us, I'll start the old guild back up! I don't expect quick replies, but I've been playing steadily since launch so you should be able to find me in-game, or shoot me a mail in-game. My common characters: Republic: Aethos, Arketis, Shadona, Tevari Emprire: Addirae, Andola, Pasal, Shaedo Look me up!

Good points Krevnik. Again, I agree with the free market as-is, and I like some of the fail-safes that have been introduced in this game and others. Playing devil's advocate to see what people think of the traditional "game economy" and mostly, I'm just bored at work and CANT WAIT TO GET HOME to play this game. Now I should get back to work. I have a lot to accomplish between now and quitting time. cheers!

Good points, but I'm getting at the fact that people will still buy at the higher price....it's just the people that have time to farm all day and "make a living" so to speak, in-game. I only get about 2 hours a day, maybe. I just ground out enchanting in WoW and had to spend weeks harvesting materials because our maket is so overly-inflated that only those with very big pockets can participate. (prices on my server place maxing out enchanting from 0-525 around 25,000gold). I agree that people will find other routes if they can't afford to use the market, which I was forced to, but how lame is that?! Granted, there's no real fix to the issue, but that's why it's a pain in the butt, and why people cry about it.

You misunderstood me. Tokens are bindable forms of currency for in-game items that are gained from accomplishing things in-game, like "shoulders of the forgotten vanquisher" since you're familiar with WoW. As for gold farmers, I said that they can benefit because they have the thousands, or tens of thousands of in-game currency to corner a market and raise prices. I didn't mean that it's necessary to buy gold with actual money. I was saying that to participate in the market effectively, you have to spend a terrible amount of time farming yourself to be able to participate.

I know it's sound ideaology, but a completely free market will inflate to the degree that a person can feasibly farm resources and credits in a day's time. This creates a market of opportunity for the "gold farmers" and for people that play all day long. People complain because gouging and cornering a market will inevitably create inflation. WoW is an example of how you can't participate in the market unless you spend more than "casual" play time online to earn a living in-game. Be it what it is, there's no way to stop predatory pricing or gouging in a video game, other than "tokens" for the best commodities. The gold farmers and those that play 10+ hours per day will engage more than anyone else in the supply and demand of your server, and they will control the prices of your commodities. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you should at least see the other side of your argument for what it is.

People aren't complaining about a price usually...they're complaining about gouging: When someone buys up available (usually rare) resources and resells them at a substantially higher price. When someone corners the market, it's a gamble, but stands to win them a huge margin. While in the real world, it's illegal, it's kinda fun in games. People complain because it's not fair: Those with the credits to corner a market get to set the prices, but hey, that's business in a truly free-market society.
