Buying and Selling gold in MMORPGs : General Discussion

in short ... yes

I'd do it!

Admin wrote:Alot of discussions has been brought up from time to time on virtual goods and the marketing of online "gold" from MMORPG's. We have toyed with the idea of a community market place for selling and buying of virtual goods.

We have been asked several times to have a TU virtual goods market built into the site for the community to use. The idea would be that people who have gold/items/characters/powerleveling services, etc, would be able to list them here on the site for our community.


But with so many gold sites, available, would there be a market for it?

Yeah if its cheaper then most gold selling sites. Prices are way to high to buy in-game currency atm.

Personally I'd like to see a TU virtual good market built into this site. It's success would be dependent upon the amount of subscribers on this website. Possibly adding this feature to your website might increase your subscribers. I'm definitely thumbs up.

I new to the site and posted a hello to everyone and asked if anyone had a suggestion on a great quest helper (yes I have questhelper) and have yet to get a reply. I will recommend friends to this site. I hope I get a response.

I do like this idea. But, were going to have to learn how the pro Chinese farmers do it

i would buy gold only from sites i trust but i am new here and i dont have to buy gold goz i have alot but if anyone sell cheap then i would buy

The only problem with this I see, is that there would definitely be a lack of gold in the "bank" for most multi-server games that only allow play on one server (paying to switch servers doesn't help, nor is it useful for this at all).

Take FFXI and WoW for example.

WoW would be simple to get gold for, since there are a multitude of people for that section of this site who play the game on all of it's servers, and gold is easy to obtain. In WoW, the gold is basically handed to the players, so they could easily give up 50-100 gold each if they wanted to, provided they're not day-1 beginners...

FFXI would be almost impossible to get gold for... You'd have to have a strong connection with a gilselling company, or else the site wouldn't be able to obtain any gil at all. the economy in that game, and on every server is so bad and horrific for normal players, that it makes gaining gil an impossible task for 99% of the population if they don't have a craft above 90. That's why they come to this site: To learn how to make a lot of gil so they can stop being poor. The problem with this, is that none of them will have the gil to give up, and the TU "bank" will be empty for FFXI and any games with similar economies. So unless we get some TU Gilsellers, I don't think we'll be seeing a bank for FFXI anytime soon. /cry

I blame Global Warming.

Just throwing in my 2 cents... That's what happens when you stop thinking like a {child} and start thinking logically. Lol

to quickly say, yes i would

Ask yourself this: Were two posts warranted by the information that you decided to commit?


Hint: The answer is no.
