[quote name='SageWoman' post='30385' date='May 5 2009, 07:00 PM']Your theory is interesting. How much would the Gold Coins be then to your thinking? I have only one so far.[/quote] Honestly Sage right now it's not even about what the coins would be WORTH, only that the IDEA is sound. That's what really matters at this point, the rest is just details. And when it comes to details I think Mur would be the one who needs to work that out. For now let's just let him know that the community as a whole (or very close) thinks it would be a good idea. - Gauge

[quote name='awiiya' post='30378' date='May 5 2009, 06:08 PM']Here is my opinion on silver: For now, it should be absolutely useless, but isn't. However, that could change very quickly. Economies work like this: There is a valued commodity, one that people want. In order to trade this commodity, they use a representation of wealth, something that can eventually be turned in for money. Using a RL example, for the first centuries of paper money, it was ALWAYS backed by gold or silver, so that if someone wanted, they could trade in their paper money at any time and get equal value in gold. Nowadays that is not true, and I think because of it our economy could collapse at any moment, but that's a conversation for another time. The problem with MD's economy in my opinion, and the reason that silver prices will fluctuate, is that there is no backing to the Silver. Their value is purely symbolic, and as a result... their worth is determined by the population. If we as a group decide silver is worthless, it will be worthless. A solution you ask? Just something interesting to think about, what if you could trade silver back for credits? This is interesting because then you could pay just one MD credit instead of the gift of 5 or 20 all at once. This would back the silver, and then silver would ALWAYS be worth 1 MD credit. Of course, I doubt this will happen, because Mur is probably curious to see how we treat silver, and how we value something that is only purely symbolic, which to be honest, I am curious about as well. Awi[/quote] After reading this I'd really like to know what the community thinks. I honestly think its a GREAT idea and would think it would definitely HELP the economy that we are trying to build here on MD. What do you all think? - Gauge

Happy B-Day to you and may you have many more! - Gauge

I don't know how to respond to this other than say I disagree with like 90% of what's said. I myself am not even yet a month old, and already feel like I am finding a place on this realm. Just stop looking at the glass from half empty and you will have a much better experience here. - Gauge

Alright Grido, if thats the case, then what happens if you try to buy an item (ie claw1) that is already on all your creatures? Will you in essence lose that token, or will it just not let you use it? And if it just doesn't let you use it, then will it only activate once you "draw" a claw 2 token?

Watcher, I understand what you and Kriskah are saying. All I'm saying is that if Noone wishes to take the role as a Collector, then he should have that right, and all the reprecussions that go along with it. All I'm pointing out, is that the choice of him doing so shouldn't be taken away from him. Everyone's purpose is going to be different than some others on MD, and when two purposes clash, then great that also will help better the game, just in different ways. A villian is not something this game really has right now and if Noone wants to take that role as a collector and start hoarding items, and can handle the consequences of such actions, then more power to him! - Gauge

And on a lighter note, there is a live help button in-game. try it out sometime - Gauge

[quote name='Kriskah Arcanu' post='29959' date='May 2 2009, 03:31 PM']Please tell me you are becoming a merchant, if not I must say I do not like this. Inventory Items should have a purpuse, they should be used, not just collected. If you want to buy all type of inventory items please explain a reason for it. Regards, K[/quote] Being a collector is a purpose Kriskah, just as being a merchant is one. Just because you do not like the purpose doesn't mean it isn't one. That's what's great about MD, each character has the ability to effect the game in different ways. If you don't like the reason of him "just collecting" items, then make sure to outbid him. But, don't try to sit there and tell him what he may or may not do with his "purpose" just because it isn't in line with your own "purpose". 8)

[quote name='Fenrir Greycloth' post='29876' date='May 1 2009, 02:59 PM']Why does all the other pages work, except for Notebook then? [/quote] Yea I'm with Fenrir. Anyway you can get this worked out in IE, Mur or other coders? Alot of the playerbase uses just IE8 and it being the "default browser" for MD I think it should be looked into. - Gauge

[quote name='pamplemousse' post='29824' date='May 1 2009, 08:07 AM']I just wanted to commend Kragel on an excellent job as auctioneer for the slave market. After almost 5 hours of listening to us scream bids at him, he was calm and level-headed. I am sure he will be equally as easygoing when he sells our creatures back to us at three times the price. [/quote] Totally agree, he did a great job and rarely raised his voice. Kudos to Kragel on a job well done, and everyone else for participating and making this a great event. - Gauge

Yea of course you would. I think the punishment was just. It took some ingenuity to think of and that has to count for something. Sorry you are mad that you didnt think of it Fenrir.

Hey guys, just wanted to stop in and informally introduce myself. Been playing Md for around 18 days now and I must say it's a very fun game. Good community here too. Plan on making my stay a long and enjoyable one. See ya'll 'round. - Gauge

20 is such a weird age. Can still do everything you did at 18, but still have to wait a year to buy alcohol and go to casino's. May it pass fast for ya Burns. happy bday again.

[quote name='Metal Bunny' post='29498' date='Apr 27 2009, 06:52 AM']I had been thinking. I wanted to know what other people thought was the value of 1 MDS, or MagicDuel Silver. Is equal to a dollar? Or higher than it? If you pick options 6 or 7, please state what you think is the price in your mind and why. Others are of course still welcome to write what they think the price is approximately and why. The main reason for this topic is fair trade. For those who don't know. > means bigger than, so 1MDS is worth more than 5 dollars. And < is the opposite, meaning 1MDS is worth less than 1 dollar.[/quote] I personally think its worth right at or around a dollar. The reason for this being that it costs a dollar to unlock the silver coins for the valuable metal orbs and toxic potion now. Had Mur not implemented this, I'd have said it was worth two dollars, just for the trouble you have to go through unlocking them in the shop or questing for em. - Gauge
