So, I don't know if this has been discussed or not, but over in Chinaland, they're planning on a 'mega-expansion' in August. quote:Last week, Age of Wushu held its annual PvP tournament in China, the home base of developer Snail Game. The development team spoke to several local media outlets after announcing a mega-expansion reaching the China server on 8th August later this year. Here are some of the details below.

I'm simultaneously excited about and dreading their views on Taiwan and Tibet.

A mini-FAQ for noobs: Cash Rules Everything Around Me: Get That Money, Dolla Dolla Bill Y'all So, at the bottom of your inventory is this counter:  Those count how much currency you have. They are, from top to bottom, Bound Liang, Unbound Liang, and Silver Notes. Bound Liang are useless Monopoly money which you use for buying poo poo from NPCs, Practice Martial Arts, and pretty much nothing else. There is a limit to how much you can spend per day, but aside from that it's essentially limitless. Unbound Liang (also known as 'tael') is real money, which can be spent on poo poo you actually care about and can be traded to other players. You can also spend it on the same stuff you can spend Bound Liang on if you turn on that radio button next to it. Don't do that. The last currency is Silver Notes. I don't know much about them because you can only get them by spending Gold (i.e. dollars) on. So, how do you get it? The answer is: Stalls. You see that little banner button? If you go to one of the big cities or a noob village and hit it, you'll pop up a window like this:  This is the stall interface. When you hit the 'online stall' button, your dude will set up a flea-market table and act as a NPC salesman for an hour, selling your useless poo poo for sweet, sweet unbound liangs. Drag and drop your poo poo onto there, set the prices, and watch your bank account explode! Or don't, because people have very particular tastes in what they actually buy. You can also set yourself up to automatically buy specific objects by hitting the 'purchase item' tab there, dragging over an example of the item you want, and setting a price. But what price do you want to charge? Hit the 'V' key, and you'll pop open the Trade Center interface.  This is invaluable for searching for specific items to price them, or for shopping for objects by type. It's worth noting that Trade Center only tells you about stalls and 'world stalls' that are in the same zone as you are, so everybody does all their trading in Chengdu on Blue Dragon. 'World Stalls' are a slightly different version of stalls that you can get once you start making the big bucks. You've almost certainly seen them- they're those stalls with NPCs behind them that sell player goods all the time, rather than just for one hour. Problem is, you need to bid for stalls, and the minimum bid is 100 unbound liang. If you have a lot of really good poo poo to sell, world stalls are great, but if you're just selling steamed buns, you're not going to make much money. So, what sells?
What doesn't sell well?
So: Go run instances, get instance-only crap, stall it and sell it in Chengdu.

If you go on the disguise quest, you can get cool face-paint? Okay, so how much does this poo poo cost, anyway?

Kylra posted:About 5.5D, plus 120L for each face painting you do. Sadly, 1.8D is approximately 20 times more money than I have ever held at one time, so I think I'll just have to live with not having cool face-paint.

Demon Soul-Chasing Blade is relatively cheap right now. What is it? Is it Yang-Hard External? EDIT: The trick to Excursions: The VIP box from doing a faction 6 times is guarenteed to have a Excursion token. I don't know if this is all factions or just Renowned or higher ones, but the important thing is that while there is a chance of a token in the treasure boxes from getting A ranking, it's very low.

madmario posted:A ready example--cell phones are much more affordable than say 20 or 30 years ago. That is deflation--prices going down. Noooo? The price of cell phones has plummeted from 20/30 years ago, but the price of goods in general has only increased. Inflation and deflation aren't about prices per se, but about the value of a currency with respect to the value of goods. Deflation means cash gains value over time, while inflation means cash loses value over time. And deflation has a lot of undesirable aspects, as we're seeing here- why buy something today when you could buy it tomorrow for less money?

madmario posted:Yesss? The value of a cell phone has not gone down, has it? They're even more valuable now, and more affordable than ever, and absolutely ubiquitous. Of course we live in an inflationary economy generally--I do not think of that as a good thing. My point is that in an actual free market, prices going down is generally a good sign as to the wealth of society. Cell phones are just a handy illustrative example. They are an extremely poor cherry-picked example. The price of electronics has gone down, but most people don't need electronics to live and electronics isn't a huge part of their budget. On the other hand, the price of food, fuel, housing, education, vehicles, and healthcare has gone up dramatically over the last 50 years, and that poo poo is someone's budget. madmario posted:Because opportunity cost is real, and because you need to eat tomorrow and to drive your car to work today. Yes, hence the 'if you can buy it tomorrow' clause. But as noted above, you don't need every good right now. So markets like housing, factories, etc. slow down and eventually people just stop making those goods, so you can't get them when you need them. Then the economy implodes. quote:We do not have a free market in wushu. We have central planning. And central planning is dumb and infuriating. This is a Soviet economy. Literally every MMO is a planned economy. It can't not be a planned economy, by definition!

Phrasing posted:I enjoyed my time in Age of Wushu because of the forced pvp, the way you became an npc when you logged off (really made the world seem alive, even if half of them were bots) and flight skills. Yeah, I miss awesome flying skills. I would occasionally climb to the top of some huge building for no reason.

In Wulin, do we have a favored server or guild or whatnot? I'm thinking about joining in the antics, even if I'm eating horrible lag while I do it.
