Make everything in the Paragon Market FREE!

If the game is going to be sold to another company, giving away all the assets free is not a good idea.

Well, it's not like things would have to STAY free if the game were eventually sold. They could just make things free until the game gets sold. After the sale the new owner/s could put the prices back to what they were. Sure a lot of use would just buy everything now for free, but if the game lives on, there could be future items that would NOT be free on the market.
Besides, from everything I'm seeing, the chances of NCSoft actually selling the game are kind of remote. If they wanted to SELL the game, they'd have put word out that they are selling it, not pull the plug entirely and FIRE the devs.

Maybe. But someone pointed out that it's much easier to sell IP (Intellectual Property) than an entire company. Someone interested in buying the game would probably not want to acquire a company with 80 personnel since they would presumably already have staff of their own.

I don't think the remaining Paragon employees can do that. I don't think they can make any changes at all right now. Though Zwill did unlock messaging for all forum accounts.

I wish I could say that I was the first to come up with this idea, but I'm sure I'm not. I did look to see if there was a topic on this already but didn't see anything that was this specific. Granted I only looked for a couple of minutes, but still...
Since the game is shutting down and we as players can no longer buy points AND since the market is still going to be a part of the game, is there any way possible that the items on the market be made free for everyone?
It's an extremely small gesture and at this point, does it really matter? They are digital items, there is no inventory for them, no money can be made off them anymore so why not just do it?
Of course, if there would involve ANY coding for this to happen, I suppose it never will.
Still I have to ask.
