If this is true then I am going to be very angry. This would make BOS pretty much useless. I don't know exact prices of powder but, I would think 8 charges would cost you about 5k. (I currently buy 30 charges for 13k)

I usually don't complain too much about changes. But it seems they always screw the low guy on the totem pole.

All of this is simply my opinion.

And it's even worse!
Because the quest for PoF would return you 200 Powders, now they said that they changed it to : "Solen powder quest now rewards 4-5 powder."

Thats just a bad joke!
BoS are more than useless now... Hope they tweak this nerf a bit!

Well people are still getting 100 powder for 200 zoogi fungus, so I'm not sure what they're on about regarding the 4-5 powder

I know the BOS quest you used to get 10-11 PoF with the bag. Maybe that is what they're talking about. Either way I hope Dax was exaggerating about not being able to send 5k with a bag that has 8 charges. If that is true then they might as well take them completely out of the game.

Bags of sending now use 1 charge per 10 stones of weight, rounded up. (15 stones would use 2 charges, for example)

Just so we know why. This was taken from the 5 on Friday:

"Why was the Bag of Sending nerfed?"
The short answer is, to curb inflation. The longer answer involves some metaphors, so bear with me a moment.

UO's economy was designed on the "faucet/sink" model. Imagine a faucet that pours gold into the world. Now imagine various drains - "gold sinks" - that the gold flows away into. The goal of the system is for the level of gold in the world to remain approximately even, and that's done by adjusting the rate of the flow in and the size of the drains out.

In UO, the "faucets" are the various NPCs that give players gold - monsters you can loot, escorts or quests that give gold as a reward, etc. The drains are any NPC or system that takes gold away from players - the insurance system is a big one, as are player vendor fees. (Player-to-player trades are NOT sinks - moving the gold around within the world doesn't change the overall amount of money in it.)

The Bags of Sending were increasing the rate of flow of gold from monster loot - that faucet was pretty much cranked as wide as it would go. This has been overwhelming the drains and increasing the amount of money in the world, which lowers the actual value of gold - this is what economists mean by "inflation." Changing the Bags of Sending to make farming for gold less profitable will slow down that flow and hopefully slow down the rate of inflation - which will raise prices in the short run but lower them substantially in the long run, as the drains pull money out of the world and the actual value of gold goes up.

Now, MMO economics are far from an exact science, and the system will no doubt require further tweaking, but this is a step in the right direction.
