People talk about all the massive amounts of gil some people have piled up over the long monthes and years they've put into the game. This affects the economy with massive inflation since there's nothing to spend it on....so why not make some things to spend it on?

I would like to get people's suggestions for things we as players can spend this money on in the game. For example many MMORPG's allow you to own land, buildings, private mounts, ships and even towns in some cases. Seems to me these would make for a whole new game if we actually were able to give our LS's a place to meet, store our gear and hang out at? The server can make these "instanced zones" like they do with our mog houses but allow for people to enter who we have put on a "permission list" (I stole this idea from EQ2...shhhh...don't tell Sony). It's still rough but I would like to hear from people with serious suggestions....If we can get enough people to sign on we may even get someone at SE to pay attention.

P.S. SquareEnix will listen if we come up with something half-decent because they have a vested interest in keeping us as customers. How many of us have gotten a friend or family member to play? Happy players are good for business.

Thank you.

thats one thing i like about ultima online, guilds could hold meetings in the guild house and hold all guild items there.
 
I really believe that SE will make changes based on our suggestions if they are reasonable (ie doesn't cost them alot of down time) and we can get a significant number of players to agree with. People are too quick to give up but it's time to fight for some changes that aren't just another round of nerfs for various jobs.
 
wow Great Idea Paddy Great Idea

It'll be nice to have something like this for Lss but it would probably limit us all to 1 LS or something. Don't know how we would work past that though.


This shouldn't be hard for them to do as well. It would be just like making a mog house available to a group of folks.
 
I agree with this idea, it'd be awesome to have a place for LSes to meet, for couples to hang out together, or just for friends to store stuff. This could just make this game worthwile to those of us who're thinking of leaving cause of inflation..(do not flame me for that comment)
 
I understand Kyp....alot of my friends are talking about leaving over the inflation and lack of things to do or work for after they are 75 and Rank 10. Over the Christmas break I've had 3 of my friends quit...1 of whom I've know a very long time indeed.
 
1. Remove non-monopolizable rare/ex tags. Relic armor. AF armor. Quested items. This opens up huge new markets for billions of gil to rush into...and away from the stereotypical markets that are becoming overperfused. Not NM rare items, as they are monopolizable and do not help distribute gil.

2. Make building your moghouse something worth a dime by giving bonuses that matter. Fleshing out the moghouse would give crafters more to synth, questers more to get, and again it would redistribute gil away from a crowded market. People would divert billions in gil to a revamped moghouse if it meant buying great pieces with relevant depth. Not this pointless xp if you hp crap--but things that any endgamer would pay millions for.

3. Selective NPC gilsinks. More selective than dynamis. Think relic weapons but gil leaving the economy instead of recirculating. Selective to the people who have nothing left to spend gil on. When they have nothing left to spend gil on, I say give them an option to retire that gil permanently out of the economy instead of throwing it out in copious and useless amounts on whims. Pay Nana 40 million gil and you get something worth 40 million gil. Or buy a great endgame moghouse piece for 8 million gil...from a NPC. Entire insanely good and unique armor sets from NPCs for huge prices.

NPC sinks are dangerous though. It could destroy the economy, and so giving people more things to spend billions of gil on would be the safer method. That would spread gil out. Right now 90% of gil is tied up in 10% of the market. Same old items seeing the same old endgame mentality gil thrown at it.
 
You idea's are sound....and now that I've read the first one over a few times I think it's a great idea since people who have the items but don't want or need them could sell them for cash. I know I've spent millions on some of the rare/ex items I've got only to find out they aren't as great as I had hoped they would be. Thanks for posting your ideas....I just hope more people do the same.

I still want them to introduce some way to change your hair style. They could charge 1 million a pop at npc, but I'd pay it and I'm sure others would too.
 
Different mog house looks. People would pay anything for aesthetic differences.

I'd pay a good deal to stop living in a cave, without changing my nation.
 
i want npc who well recharges Enchantment item for cost
i think it well be good way to take out gil
 
Idea somewhat based on the original idea.

Imagine a place for Dynamis, HNM Linkshells, normal linkshells, mission parties to gather. This could be called "The Meeting Hall". To gain access to the Hall, you must trade a special seal to the front door, "Meeting Seal". To acquire a seal they must be bought by one person from a NPC, and then distributed to the other members. The seal will cost 2k each and able to have 99(198,000 Gil) seals for one meeting. However you only need to buy as many as you want. The buyer of the seals will then be allowed to distribute to whomever he wishes. He would be able to even give 10, 20, or even 30 to others to give out, making it easy for them to be distributed. This way the seals could be easily passed throughout members. The meetings could take place in a zone, much like your moghouse where no magic can be casted and no items can be used. Suppose this zone, "The Meeting Hall", were in Upper Jeuno, you would not be able to hear shouts from Upper jeuno though. To intiate the meeting the original buyer of the seal's must trade the seal to the front door. Once he has done that all other will be able to trade theirs and enter. The meetings will only last one game day(max), and once the original seal has been traded a timer will countdown on everyone's seal to the one game day mark, whether they are in the meeting or not. The seal acts much a Prelate key, where it is only a one time use per seal, so once you leave unless you have another seal you will be unable to re-enter "The Meeting Hall". Once the meeting has begun everyone will be equipped a MeetingLS, much like ballista. The meeting can take place in a room(I'll expand more on this later) much like your own Moghouse only much larger. Once the either the Game day has run out, or the leader of the meeting chooses to terminate the meeting(one of the options when clicking on the door) all members of the meeting will be transported to right outside the meeting Hall.


So a few other random tag along ideas, some previously mentioned.

When clicking on the door:

Exit to Upper Jeuno.
Nevermind.
Terminate Meeting.(Meeting Leader Only)
Rent another day. (Meeting Leader Only)

Seal Ideas:

Seals much like Beastmen's seals.
Have a timer on all whether in the meeting or not and allow it to countdown till 1 full game day has passed.
1 time Use per seal.
You may have different meeting seals at the same time.
If you trade the wrong seal to the door you will still keep it, and just have to trade the correct one.
2k Per seal.
Max of 99 can be bought per meeting.
Bought from a NPC preferably in a differnt zone then the actual meeting hall.
NPC can be much the like orb NPC, except trade Gil, receive Seals.
When trading a NPC 100k for example he will say "Do you want 50 Seals?" Then Select "Yes". Then select "Buy". Much like the AH with multiple confirmations to prevent errors.
Say you trade 101k the same message will appear but only for 50 Seals so by trading an accidental 1k instead of the game stealing it, you will keep the 1k.
All Seals will dissappear from your inventory after the meeting has taken place.

"The Meeting Hall" Ideas:

Large room, maybe 5x the size of Moghouse.
While in the hall you will be equipped a Meeting LS, just for the duration of the meeting.
Customizable "rooms". For example it could just be a zone that looks like a section of Valkurm Dunes or Lufaise Meadows. While using this option would also increase the amount of renting it maybe 20k more?
Unable to cast magic in the room or use items.
Have the room somewhere in Jeuno.
Maybe, once the full game day has almost ended give the leader the option to buy another game day for the exact same price, even if others leave. The leader will stay have to pay as if they were there. Renting another day could be done in the last 5 minutes of the rented period, thus keeping everyone from being transported out.



Will update as new ideas/suggestions occur.

Yea.....being able to custimize your character and/or moghouse to a greater extent would be very nice.

I'm sure one day SE will even make it possible for ppl to visit other's moghouses.
 
I know GMs and some SE employees read the forums...maybe they will see this and actually do something positive for the players who want to stay but are running out of options. The whole "been there...done that" scenario is getting out of hand. Thanks for you input and please keep it coming.
 
Or how about something like dynamis/enm for level 1 jobs with a small entrance fee? Imagine 60+ level one subless people fighting incredibly tough mobs with onion swords.

I'd make it bit like the game gauntlet from nes, just running through mazes trying to make your way through before time expires from each zone while mobs spawn as you walk along. Don't make it to a check point, you don't get the items you've accumulated and your whole team warps back to the last checkpoint, so it would be sorta challenging. Sorta like the Easter(?) event where you got sneak and invisible and had to make it to a target with a partner. What items? I'm not too sure, but rare/ex things would be cool (thinking Tele-HallofGods Scroll/To-Zone Scroll, or somethig needed to pop a boss in the zone that drops something of this sort for everyone inthe alliance). Experience points bonus for a job of choice from completing it would be great too.

No one loses experience points
Everyone can join at level 1
Brings back a fantasy aspect to the game
You get to beat stuff up as a newb!

Sorta like a mini game to the actual game. I know its unrealistic though.
