Fighting Gold Inflation

As we all know, server's growing and there's more and more gold entering the game. We got inflation going, and we need more gold sinks. Let's discuss ideas on how to combat this.

Nothing to do except implement additional gold sinks.

Idea 1:
Make house doors chop-able by owner. Doors can be replaced with door deed of different types purchased from a vendor @ 50-100k per. Also allow doors to be flipped so the door becomes locked from the opposite direction.

Idea 2:
Introduce custom homes that will be voted on by the community and have the price set by GMs at an inflated price. Think 14x14 homes that sell for 1 mill +. Or go really crazy and make them unique and cost 10 mill to target the biggest gold hoarders. Its all server side and does not require a patch to be downloaded.

Masks and Sandals - I will unload all my gold, plat and hell...maybe my fort!

One way is to have high ticket items to get the super rich to pay. But it'd be good to have some sort of sink across the board

you peasants don't enough gold to bother making a gold sink for.

Blessable weapons for 500k every 2 weeks?

Maybe plant ingredients cost gold? If plants get implemented

I would be a big fan of a plat sink. Anything from different mounts (within reason) to more decor. I think there would be a big demand for a special hue dye tub, ladder dye tubs, carpet dye tub, etc..

Personally I've been saving a large stack of plat for the moat system but from what I understand the only reason you'll need plat will be to make your drawbridge functional (up/down) and the full moat with bridge will eventually be free.

I would throw a heavy amount of plat at additional character slots.

Bring on the premium dye tub hue mask dye/sandal gold sink!

Custom Housing would be an effective gold sink but there would need to be a way to prevent the inevitable eyesores and utilitarian designs. Also, it would drastically change the atmosphere from the classic Renaissance feel. For these reasons I highly doubt custom housing can happen here, but if it did, people would put a lot of money into their houses.

See how the bourgeoisie mock us proletariat!

Let them eat cake when all they have is a fish steak!

Ps I am more than willing to use my bank box as a temporary gold sink, all amounts welcome.


Pps Just don't have custom f.....g houses no matter how much people beg and whine.

There's a special place in Trammel for people with custom houses...

• Your name permanently etched on a plaque outside of a static building in town.
• A static museum-of-sorts with player statues or plaques with your name on it
• Dedicate a gravestone to a past player in a static graveyard
• New wearable trammel shop (sandals, masks, etc.)
• Expanded item limit on bank boxes
• Shared bank boxes between characters
• Dragon 'dyes' (Blaise, I think it was, once made a post of hues that wouldn't look obnoxious on dragons)
• Help design a new boss monster (the old Kickstarter reward approach)
• Put a book into print circulation (randomly spawns around the world where you would find books)

Stone paver dye tub.

Teleportation pads to connect houses.

In-House NPC vendors!

Are you tired of going out to buy regs, only to find that every vendor only has 0-50 in stock? Can't sell those gems for full price anywhere? Think it be nice to grab a new BOD from the safety of your home?
Then in-house NPC vendors are FOR YOU! contract one today for only 10million gold!

I think we could also institute a system of taxation. Currency sitting in banks should be taxed! OCCUPY UO:R!

How bout special plants, like hanging baskets and flowers, similar to how dried herbs work right now?

Make a "large taxidermy kit" for 1 million gp usable on select larger mobs. And a "super taxidermy kit" for 10 million gp usable select on champs/bosses.
