trollson Report post Posted November 26, 2008 The best use for platinum coins I think arose in the "Use For Platinum" thread: Platinum Coins are bought from the EL Shop for RL money. Certain NPCs sell/buy certain items not available elsewhere in game exclusively for platinum. No in-game route (ie, via NPCs) to convert between gold and platinum. This simplifies the EL Shop, and platinum coins become a commodity traded between players - which should establish a gold:platinum exchange rate which may vary over time. I would be tempted to extend this somewhat, and also have gold/silver/copper coins for different types of goods, to split up the economy into three (four) levels. Copper for the peasants, silver for the merchants and artisans, and gold for the nobles. The only exchange between these currencies is through NPC trades (or by value-add by players - buy ingredients for coppers, make item to sell for silver).
