Whats the rate of exchange these days for gold?
around $2.00 to $2.50 per mil?
With discounts for bulk buys.
Lets see I'm no math wizard but off the top on my little brain that translates at best into a couple thousand RL dollars per billion.
In a UO long long ago gold had value but much like the US dollar it has fallen into a state of disgrace and of very little value.
I have nothing against those who's game play is based upon how much gold they can accumulate,if they enjoy what they are doing ,well more power to them, but they are not players that I am inclined to interact with.
The quest for massive amounts of gold has lead far to many players away from what I view the game's focus was and should be. To roleplay a virtual character in a game and have the oppurtunity to meet like minded people and join together for entertainment.
When I turn the game off I leave with a sense that I just came from a fun engagement much like going to a party or concert,,I don't leave the game with the feeling that I just got done with a day on the job.
