Can you exchange gold for BC and vice versa?
Where to start playing if you want to spend from time to time 10/20 Euro but do not want to do it all the time and the game will not limit me severely for this reason? on F2p server?
you didn't even play thenthe old, dark times of allods where your gear got cursed and all these horrible things are gone for LOOONG time now, its no longer true
literally the same as new frontier with subscription-fee strongbox items(that cost significantly less than what they cost on new frontier, at that)the new server ("Equilibrium") without exchange npc however is pay to win, as a non-paying player you will be directly dependent on other players who donate to gain a lot of items
are you paid to say this server isn't p2w? this game, in its entirety, has been universally known to be p2w since the original betas(when level 13 runes were randomly added to the shop for 27k(?) gems). runes didn't even use to matter that much back then until they were buffed(and the game was rebalanced around having high runes) to force people to have themthe normal server ("New Frontier") has donations only to speed up things, if you want to play free you can farm things also, there is an exchange NPC so you can trade gold for BC and BC for gold
literally nobody does this. level 5 runes are not, in any shape or form, competitive, or enough to be a "base". nobody in the beginning drops $50USD on shit runes, a shit mount, and a loot pet to somehow acquire billions of currency later. especially not after the MONTHS of gold exploits in the past where people earned hundreds of millions PER DAY and weren't banned for it.some players donate at the beginning, make a "base" like level 5 runes a mount and a lootpet and from then on farm the most (or everything)
correct. sadly.you didn't even play then
when i was new in this game ppl told me the same... later, i not only caught up but even overtopped them by far...you will never, as a new or free player, ever compare to any veteran or people who freely spends money on this game.
you get the rarities pack for 1999 BC 1 time... what else do you get? i remember i had to get a lootpet seperately on this servernot to mention all the free stuff you get for playing that would normally cost hundreds/thousands of dollars on new frontier
i met quite some players which told me they donated once and that was it, on of them has level 11 runes by nowliterally nobody does this
i do not have the insight to judge thisgold exploits
and even if it would exist there would be no way to us it sinc there is no exchange NPCthat gold, by the way, doesn't exist on equilibrium
you got me wrong it seems!the server he hates
i did say free player, right? what's the conversion rate in new frontier? 1:5000? that's what, 2-4 gems per s20 with a replicator on boss4? you'll get a sovereign title before you touch the lowest hanging basket as a free player in this scenario.when i was new in this game ppl told me the same... later, i not only caught up but even overtopped them by far...
its not like everyone who donates uses his funds wisely and efficient
keeping it up is the way to go if you want to "reach something" in this game
let's start with the 16,000 cc i've accumulated by simply logging into equilibrium every day for a monthoh yes, you get a permanent ovenmount... which costs some snowflakes, a free cuccency
so help me, what stuff do one get which costs hundreds/thousands of dollars ?
oh yes we get some reputation-scrolls and exp-scrolls which cost a few cent each
it's actually really nice. i'm not forced to farm gold on this server like i had to in the past - i get gold for my upgrades, sure, but i get that just by getting the materials required to upgrade my gear. no, we mostly trade items for other items, which i rather prefer. i never enjoyed games that were an endless gold farm, i'm not chineseoooh we got x2 gold....
....and in return all the gold on this server has no usage since there is no exchangeNPC
sure, 5 years ago. i also made runes back when ccs were 1.5k for 1000. they were even cheaper before that, but that was pre-buff, so i didn't care(like most people).i met quite some players which told me they donated once and that was it, on of them has level 11 runes by now
i don't remember the details, but exchange rates at that time were around 50000:1. the vast majority of exploiters didn't get banned, and most of those who did, were unbanned. not many remained banned, but notable people who exploited it on dozens of characters(and thus, flooding the economy with enough gold to have protest for months from eu players about the merge) were unbanned with all gold intact. i can remember a single person who was unbanned that had their account totally wiped, but he was also hacking, so i don't know if that counts.i do not have the insight to judge this
by the way, could someone tell me a bit more about these happenings? i read something about a traderoute exploit in north american allods but i am unaware on how it was done etc... educate me
a barter system is actually very attractive, but i imagine most who haven't played wouldn't have noticed that's how we deal with tradesi dont hate it at all, it just seems to have a not so bright future by design
the equilibrium servers point (items exclusive to donators) does not seem to attract many players
sure, i know of plenty who have 9/10/11s, and they're bound to expand. however, it's very possible for free players to catch up at this point in the servers life, especially when if you really want boutique currency, people sell it on the auction. things that cost 80m gold in new frontier cost in the range of 400k-1.2m on our server, and gold farming is the same speed. the economy is smaller and driven more by items than gold.when i last time checked, i saw some lonely player with level 11 runes (this was before the premium system)
so its not like you will be able to escape the power of runes there or something
i dont hate it at all, it just seems to have a not so bright future by design
