I like it how current game economics builds on precious metals, but as our experience shows - precious metals suffer from constant inflation, which makes it pointless to accumulate coins, and here is the point when economics not working.
From the other side, "platinum coins" can be a good way to bound with ingame economics, and make token trade easier and lot more common. In some way this also helps to spread tokens over players, which prevents excessive accumulation of tokens in hands of top players, and creates a better token sink.
Anyway, i think that devs should think twice before make a decision about this, to ensure this will not make any other valuables useless in game.

Re: Subscription token = 100 platinum coins
Tokens are always the preferred trading currency because they last between worlds. if we broke them up into small enough pieces (and made it so those pieces were functional) the entire trade system would revolve around them instead of essentially any player currency. The main reason to use player currency is the convenience of denomination.

Re: Subscription token = 100 platinum coins
you'd legit just see platinum coins being the go-to whereas gold will have a tiny often devalued conversion and silver will more or less drop out of existence

This is a terrible idea. Shush.

Re: Let us Split Sub tokens, please!
Why create a new thread for the same idea you already necroed a thread for?

You can already sell tokens to someone willing to buy them. Isn't it good enough ?

Thanks for the link, shubla. Missed the other thread. Merged both threads together since they're identical requests.

Re: Subscription token = 100 platinum coins
this would be kind of neat, an "official" currency would surely have repercussions on the entirety of the economy. would probably lead to some more money for devs. Devs should take heed to a few of these ideas that would net them some yummy profits. people are literally trying to throw money at them.
