Thread: Gold and Items from 1.x -> 2.0

Items will most likely have different values in 2.0 than they do now. If there are people with large pools of gold, the value of the new items will be so much that new players will not be able to afford the items, making the market a less enjoyable experience for them.

Just wondering what everyone thinks, if the gold and items should both come with us into 2.0?

Or should only 1 of them, or neither?

I am not sure what you mean. It was already stated that new users will not stat on our servers, but instead there will be new servers for them, unless they specifically request our server. So the economy will be between us like it is now.
As far as gold, I do hope they make a use for it besides making rose gold for the new high end parts.

The gil will of course transfer, but that did not seem to be you concern, as gold is not a currency in this game (maybe WOW?). I would expect gold itself to fluctuate by supply and demand.

Even if they did put new players on our server it would of course go by supply and demand. The expensive stuff would not sell, and prices would drop on the low level gear. the problem will quickly fix itself as the under-cutters are always around to fix discrepancies.

New players can start on old servers w/o a problem (of course if they aren't locked because of population).

Your gil and items will transfer to 2.0.

However.

Your inventory slot will decrease to 100, so it's suggested that you clean up your inventory before the character transfer. All excess items will be placed in a 2.0 NPC for you to pick up at a later time. Specifics about the NPC, such as duration and item amount, are unknown.

well the desicion rest upon se weather they will allow gill to be transferd to 2.0 but im gussing we will lose all gill because it is an old 1.0 codeing and the gill in 2.0 will be a different codeing and it also prevents rmt from selling gill to others before and right after launch as far as items it depends on wether the code changing will work with out corrupting your char files i belive something like that happened when we had server merging at this point nothing is set in stone and this will be clarified after inhouse beta testing is done they might have said otherwise but thing's happen that were not expected as of now 2.0 works with the new sys and new char dat files for 2.0 so far they havent tried transfering an 1.0 char dat file to 2.0 yet to see if it works fine so worse case senario we will all have to start from square one if 1.0 codeing create too much problems where 2.0 wont work then they will just give a fresh char and yes i know that would suck but crap happens so exspect the unexspected

Sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. We're not losing gil nor items.
