Gold Sink-Inflaction : a solution

-Monthly Gold sink

every month will appear on a gold sink vendor: ONE RANDOM ITEM FROM A LIST, WITH A RANDOM COLOR FROM A LIST

the duration of the item on the sink can be random 1hour-30 days, it will disappear without any announce and next month will appear another

OF COURSE, FOR THE STAFF, THEY WILL KEEP BEST COLORS\ICED\BLAZED on a DONONO VENDOR to keep donation alive, but we see how ppl spend a lot of money onto decos and wereables, they will take both..and decrease a lot the gold in the server, also they are removed RANDOM from the vendor, so it can be speculative and create a market..and can return RANDOM, or return after weeks-months-years.

I DONT MEAN CRAZY BLAZE O ICE COLORS, NORMAL COLORS TOO_

example of list, gold sink vendor wereables

deer mask
bear mask
boots
sandals
bone mask
cloak
quiver
cloths for tailoring of different hues?

on another vendor: decos

platemail sets (for decos)
piece of pentagrams and other shit for decoring house


on another vendor TEMPORARY ETHY MOUNTS


25k gold? you can take an ETHERAL MOUNT that will disappear in 1 week.

result: ppl can try all the mount, spend some gold, and maybe buy the one they like with donation coins.


i appreciate the opionion about it, critique and props.


tnx for your time reading this!





A player that love this server.

the point is..if a vendor , will sell for a random time... 1 hour-30days , a bone mask example , dark blue...randomly..at a random price from 100k to 500k...it can be..nice for creating a sort of rare market

upkeep on houses is the way to go.
im not saying to remove the refresh part. no no need to stop the idoc fun ;) but still paying upkeep on a house is important to sink gold.

I like the short term ethy idea. Maybe add a shadow/colored ethy for like 250k/wk or something.

Items are fine but you probably won't end up taking any value out of the system. Say you buy a green deer mask for 100k, but it's 1 of 1 so it's worth millions. That just added allllll that value to the system, which defeats the purpose of a gold sink.

The best gold sink items are ones that either cannot ever be resold, or are used up/disappear after a set amount of time.

House upkeep charges just strike me as lame, I don't like them.

Part of the problem is that gold isn't making its way down the chain, from rich players to newer players. A lot of the professions that favor new players are not very strong on this server - namely rare hunting, thieving, and non-taming PvE. There are fewer and fewer windfalls that can favor a newer player , so the gold remains concentrated at the top.

Of course there should be risk vs. reward, but I think some way to redistribute wealth would be more effective than a straight gold sink.

If anyone has to much gold feel free to let me spend it :D ill get rid of it nice and quick. Maybe set up an ingame casino, I only just realized we have pokie machines on the server. Wasted 10k in like 5mins on those lol

Would be nice to have somewhere to bet, maybe races or something get some ppl to be jockeys and their odds are based on their ping :p I dont know I just woke up :S

the point is..the point is that Uo its game without a specific target..so after a "farmer-pvm's" get

taming 120, vet 120, fishing 120 ecc, a big house, all the fucking decos.. whyne have to farm? he lose a little bit of "target" to do..but maybe this..

maybe add rares color statuetette, or some stupid shit decos into loot mobs, like example, a blaze chair, or a fallon table for your home.. it will not make the server discocolors cause in their own house..and add really some high end item for who like to custom their house..or as said on the first post of the topic..some wereables.. so who like pvm still farm a lot..pks will have target in dungeson...blue or pkk will have target (the pks) in dungeons..and so...

thoughts?
