Yes? No? Your thoughts, right now. :)
Yes, that is 100,000g = 1p. Thus a new update (10p) would be 1M.

I like the idea...Of course its not going to be implemented because the devs want money.
i believe Assomers likes to SPEND his paycheck on something REAL...
Psh...Justg spends his money on hats...(In-game hats)
While there many reasons this will never happen, think of this one. If gold could be exchanged for plat in anyway, then they would have to remove the ability to trade or give gold ...Quote:

How come? At a rate that ridiculous (or even higher), it would take a TON of time to make that much money. Especially if you're level 18 and trying to get more g to get more levels.Quote:

But as long as they are separate, the IRS considers it a game, no different from Monopoly.
Same reason why you can't sell your account, why they ban you if put it up for sale. It would make gameplay taxable, and nobody wants that, even if the resulting tax is only one penny! It's just simplest to keep real money and game money separate.
What you are saying is that one Kite Shield could be sold 300K, which would be converted to 3 plat, which you could use to buy content. Gear drops would become real money. The IRS would take note, not of you, but of Spacetime. And they probably don't want that.
This has become a serious problem for Second Life, according to my wife, when a guy died and he had tons of internet assets, which had to be claimed by his family on his final tax return. I don't doubt that Spacetime is aware of this, and would prefer to avoid it completely!
Wow fluff u are a god you make so much sence >.>
It aint a smart idea to do that 100k = 1plat idea, the world will be filled with money;
Therefor, the prices will increase as much.
Imagine a thoth helm costing 400k.
Not gonna try to understand that.. sounds smart, works for meQuote:
