How do you think money will be handled in game my personal thought would be they would use credits like SWG, but I suppose there can be other ways. How do you think in game money will be handled, lets just be sure on one thing lets hope Huxley dosent have the same economy as Diablo.

I prefer Visa. but i could do travelers cheques...

anyways yeah huxley probly wont have a "hidden" cow level, so no worries..

I think you gain money to buy things through pvp, and the skills to use the items through pve.

Or is it the other way rnd.

If you can't earn money in PvE then it's just a grind. They have already stated item and money rewards.

There was economy in Diablo?

i like creds since its a more futuristic form of money.

In theory, it should be more difficult for any macro's or money farmers to exploit huxley in the usual mmo way like wow or eve online, though no doubt a month after release huxley money will appear on ebay!
A thriving economy is an important part of any half decent mmo, just look at project entropia http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4953620.stm now thats what i call incentive!! Could this become the stand way to approach the subject for all mmo's in the future?

Are people mad ?

Why would you want to invest $56,000 dollars into a virtual nightclub - if the developer goes bust tomorrow you have just flushed it down the toilet.

I don't think the developer is going 'bust tomorrow' if it just made 65,000. One member spent 1,000,000 on his own planet in that game.

It's an investment; the risk is sort of tricky to gauge though...

If he can sell pieces of that virtual real estate to other players, he could end up making a huge profit in the end.

I didn't know that's part of the deal, but I do know that the guy who spent 1,000,000 on his planet.. can now make 125,000 a year + tax every person who rents a home on his planet, and he gets in game money aswell.

KingGryphon · 09-05-2006, 10:47 PM

Let's just hope it's credits or some such and not real world cash.

Brene · 10-05-2006, 01:30 AM

I wonder how much my few ADKs would be worth in SWG now...

Felix12g · 10-05-2006, 06:20 AM

Don't forget the dumbass who bought an island in evercrack for $20,000.

WarHero · 11-05-2006, 12:00 AM

wow. i admit its very new to everyone, and criticized for it, but if you can spend 13,700 pounds? i forgot what that symbol means. but if you can spend that much and make it back in a year, im saying all in all it cant be too bad a way to earn some money, not saying that its your only source of income. Im guessing its the equivalent of Stock Markets, only not as much of a profit/loss. lil more dangeruous then saving accounts, little less then stock market. but idk... still kinda weird.

I find it doubtful that they will incorporate a system similar to that of Project Entropia - they're already doing enough revolutionary stuff, there's no sense in them taking a risk like that.

Shinigami · 11-05-2006, 12:33 AM

Personally I hope it would not be that way since it would kinda bias the game against the kind of player that cannot afford to sink that much money (if any at all) into the game itself.

And anyway, its an FPS, not a finance heavy game.
