I'd still have about a dozen purpled chars. And I'd still have hundreds of IOs in base storage that are worth a lot. I'd probably sell the IOs I don't need, plus farm and Marketeer like mad to buy up the really good stuff while prices are still low.

I've made several new alts lately and just played them through normal drops and stuff. I didn't give them anything from my 50s and they're in the double to triple digit millions after a month.

While the economy might crash for a bit, it'll steamroll back into full swing in short order allowing profits.

I would also thing about turning off chat, to many ppl would be crying over it. (i13/14 base bug would be about the same effect)

And the poor gamers come to forums and ask the devs for a hand out... Give me the fish instead of learing to fish.

Well, I've only been here for 2 months. And in that time I took 2 characters to their mid-20's in levels playing the "real" game. And amassed over 300M in Inf on each. I think wiping out my current Inf balance would be a momentary pain for little long term effect.

On the other hand ... The fallout would be VERY interesting if the Devs should decide to make Architect Entertainment missions really about "entertainment". In other words, make them something to do just for the fun of the mission with it having zero impact on the "real" world ... i.e. no xp and no inf / loot / tickets. Now THAT would have some fallout.

This is new funniest thing I have ever read on these forums.


11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?

it's funny when people think our little play economy has anything but the most tenuous, secondhand connection to the real world.

TopDoc is wise.

I would gut one of my old maxed out pvp builds. Turn it on the market for a starting point. Then lock up about 5-10 items on the market and do business as usual.
