I don't think we should have an infinite amount of money, but the money that we earn from battling or selling items should not be limited to $999,999.
-
Although there is a limit in the traditional game, I don't think there should be a limit in PU. Especially since we don't know how money will be distributed in PU. For instance, in PWO, their money can go into the millions and their auction houses often do have bids that high.
Most MMOs don't have a limit. If PU does, then I think there should only be a limit to how much a person can hold at a time, but that still seems like a pain.
-
You could divide the money in kinda 'cents and dollars'... just to make sure that there will be no 1million bids.
-
I think the money you're able to hold onto should be infinite. It's your hard earned money, so if you're rich then it's not you're fault. Why be punished by putting a cap on it?
As for the problem for the auction house, I guess PU will have to put a cap on the items.
For example:
Item---------Lowest CAP------Player average price-----PU TEAMS High CAP
Potion......................$1.............................$700...........................$2,000
Pokeball..................$1.............................$450............................$1,200
The 2k cap is just so players can't chansey up the economy with wanted to selling a potion for $30,000.
(this was only an example, I know you can buy these from the pokemart), but you might be in a pinch inside of a cave, and you don't want to leave, so someone might sell it to you for 1k, when we know it's worth 700.
Anyways expand on the idea. I lost my train of thought.
-
cap on item prices? lol? its just the point, that a player, able to make an extremely strong potion, is allowed to take every price he wants to, as long hes the only one able to. the prices are lower, the more people are able to make the potion...
if you put caps on item prices, you kill the whole business system xD
for your cave example: yea... it is like that! you need it, i got it. so we have to negotiate... caps would kill everything!
-
ahh true i guess.
well i know for sure when a shop sells a lot of pokeballs (compared to other shops) the pokeball price in that shop becomes higher.
-
There will be no cap on the maximum money you can have, however there will be a cap on how much you can carry with you at the time.
-
Will there be a sort of item that will allow you to access the money at any time, like a debit card?
-
So I assume that implies some sort of banking system?

Please, not the "mom" system...
-
hahahaha, agreed, mom always spent your hard earned cash on plushies. perhaps a pokebank!

I wish my mom bought me plushies. All she bought me were useless berries.
-
Lol, well the team seems to have a plethora of amazing ideas, so I doubt they'd allow a mom system like that in this game. =P
-
No we will implement a normal bank system where you can store you money. Only the big city's will have an actual bank building, but the smaller towns will probably have an ATM machine ;)

Come on Dark, no one wants an ATM! >:/
ATM = Annoying Town Mom Machine.
well hey... I lol'd.

Lol! I happen to get some Full Restores from the 'mom' bank (together with the plushies)???
-
Mr_Dark, can you lose your money if you carry it with you? Or being robbed?
-

Nah don't think so.
-
Getting robbed would be interesting, more real life - like. Or getting robbed in qest (but get the money back once completting it). Maybe you could hold an event 'money-less day' - all users would have their money 0, with no way to earn it... *OK, I'm officialy going to far*
Since this is a discussion about money, I sugesst some sort of salary, wich we would get every day at same hour, just to make shure no one gets broke, or hasn't got money to buy potions, pokeballs,... And items should be very affordable, even chep; I really heate it when Pokemon game becomes 'get a lot of money' game >:(!
-
In MMORPG's you get money from killing monsters.. I assume you will get money if you win from a wild Pokemon. =]
I don't like getting money for doing nothing (Wait a second,, if it was real life..... xD) :)
-
In PWO they have it so that you get money from wild pokemon, and sometimes random items, if it wasnt for the insane lagg i would be playing it, lol, but yea money from wild pokemon.
Maybe like a wager option for battles, like if you battle a player character you can set an amount, or choose to set an amount (option not to also der) to bet on the battle, maybe with a minimum and maximum limit. Does that make sense? lol
-
Well realistically there is a limit I would assume. Depends on how they store the value.

But then, we should get some actual money, not something like; ...you earned 3 _____(insert value)... It makes me really depresed to beat 10 Pokemon in order to get enugh money to buy a potion...
-

Why would this be realistic? It's not like there's a limit on the money you can have in the real world?
And it doesn't really matter how we store the value because if we use a 64bit integer you can have 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 moneyz.
-
Money from wild pokemon? I'm not too keen on that, nor the daily 'salary'. Money from NPCs yes, with amulet coin or luck incense to double the prize money whenever the pokemon holding the item appears in battle was fine in the classical pokemon games. I don't know if that's possible in PU, or if there will be useless items here and there like nuggets, star pieces, big pearls and so on which are sold at quite high price.
-
There will be no cap on the maximum money you can have, however there will be a cap on how much you can carry with you at the time.
May I ask why there should be a limit on how much you can carry if you can't lose the money. In my opinion you should:
A) Be able to carry unlimited amount of money and not lose it buy any cause.
B) Not be able to carry unlimited amount and by losing battle you lose moneys. Then you would have to visit the bank every now and then to deposit some cash to be safe.

Because your backpack is not some void and/or you don't have unlimited strength?

That's what I meant :P There is a limit (even if it is impossible to reach)

hmm.. I'm quite keen on this atm idea, as long as it has your sprites face on the bank card! Haha , use your trainer card with the badges and what not in the atm?

Why this extensive.. Just stand in front of the ATM and you can use it.
