I would like to see ED's get more into the economy.


Could we get an exchange stone of  say 100 ED for 1.5mil Gold
or
Possibly Vendors that use EDs as their currency?


Just my thoughts.


Opinions welcome :)

Inflation should still be allowed to run its course to balance its value from other currencies. If a stone was implemented to buy ED for gold then ED's would not be exclusive through donation only, which would defeat the purpose. Maybe a market, available to everyone (  [market command for example ), set up where players can sell (In-game ED) to the highest bidder or buy from the lowest seller. (A similar market system for multiple items, goods, and currencies is in-place on UO Excelsior and still fluctuates based on inflation daily.)

Evolution Dollars are a donation reward. Its something you get for contributing to the shard to keep it alive. This project is relatively costly and donations help mitigate the day to day operating costs of a shard like this.


We don't want to make ED more accessible because it is meant to be exclusive. Posts like this just seem so short sighted to me.

No need to apologize Bill, we just don't want to make ED so available that no one wants to contribute anymore. :) I love the fact that we can keep our shard hosted on the latest hardware and with the fastest possible connection. Its what makes the experience so fun!
