Alarming bone prices, a solution?
On the 11th, Kiraleeka and I are going to auction or sell our bones, at a maximum of 30K. If supply exceeds demand, it should push the prices back down. :3 Please feel free to pitch in on the 11th, by doing the same! The more people jump on the band wagon, the greater the effect should be on bone prices!
Note: Don't consider these bones discounted, consider other bones over priced!
i haven't seen an autobuy, and you can't dictate the maximum one of your bones will auction for.. it sort of defeats the purpose of an auction. there's nothing guaranteeing these bones won't all go for high amounts of alacash. a bit of a flaw in your theory, don't you think? honestly, i don't think the problem has to do with bones. the problem has to do with an overabundance of alacash. the more cash a person has, the more they can pay for things. and as long as someone will pay it, there's nothing to stop someone to raising their price. might as well see what the limit is.
I like the idea, but in reality it will most likely not work the way you want it to.<br /> <br /> Also, when less players start donating, from my experience, the site owners tend to up the price of the credits/bones/etc. to cover the cost of hosting/running the site. Hopefully this will not happen - but if it does then bone prices will drastically change again. Sometimes this is a good thing as items being sold for bones will be more valuable because of the bone price and rarity of the item (assuming less are purchased because of bone price).<br /> <br /> Not really sure what my point was with that - I like the idea, but I don't think it's practical.

hhmmm... this has brought up a point...<br /> <br /> if people can't afford bones with Ala $$, that will force them to buy bones with real USD/CAD and therefore supporting Alacrity.

"Derp, bones used to cost $15,000 way back when I was a beginning player, so yeah $70K is extremely overpriced in my opinion,"<br /> <br /> Way back when you were a beginning player. I was here when they were 10k. But our economy has grown bad, and bone prices has upped.<br /> <br /> Giest said what I think extremely well, and Xylax just proved a very good point.<br /> <br /> I understand what you said, Thy, but I couldn't afford bones when I was a new player. I never got close.
hi idea: what are bones<br /> 2: wow! thats higher then cheap! i wish i had sme money! they must be rare or somthing!

Sadly, Xylax brings up a good point.

if this happens, it will be amazing! Awhile ago, the amont of money I have right now could have gotten me 85 bones. now, I am having trouble finding 17. Even paying 30k would be a HUGE improvement!

Bone prices are very bad i agree. But due to the economy, money is harder to come by offline and like someone said before, unless you keep this up for MONTHS to outvalue those who auction it higher, the price will continue to skyrocket.<br /> <br /> As much as I'd love this to happen, you could never keep it up for the months it would take to keep it that low.
