At least it's just 2 coins and not more. Activity token is basically silk. So don't count that in. Would you like it more if there was only 1 coin but all the items would require way more of them and tons of gold? Since there are hardly any other ways for gold to enter the economy other than jobbing, this would disguise gold as the "second coin". This would also mean that a player can skip the whole jobbing part by focusing on all the other stuff and most likely gaining his gold via selling drops, alchemy or by selling silk to the people who went jobbing as many would do. I tried to get the idea of 1 coin system and giving people the freedom of choice through in the beginning but it was never accepted. In the past 2-3 years all the biggest servers have been "too edited", can't help with that. I'd gladly make an old school low cap server with less features and edits if it was guaranteed the same success. As it takes a lot less effort to create one.

In my case, I don't exactly like to job that often, my forte would be Unique hunting and alchemy, It would be nice to have great gears w/o forcing myself to do job. Maybe FGW, and unique coin drops, instead of talisman, why not make coin drops, with weekly limit ofc.
BTW, why there are 100 online in your server, open beta already started? but I can't register or DL.

BTW, why there are 100 online in your server, open beta already started? but I can't register or DL. Bots are being used to place spawns and test stuff. That's what's up with the counter Many people dislike FGW even more than jobbing because it becomes a repetitive, boring task after a few runs. Nothing ever changes in there. I personally did it for ages on i-sro got already fed up of that back there. Even if there was a single coin only, fastest way of getting SOM would still be jobbing and that's also what the majority is asking for. I understand everyone wants SOMs but what I don't understand why the SoA gear is so easily disregarded. Since when you had no chance with +1 less in sro? When I still played p-servers, I used to buy my gear off other people and aimed for such a high plus items that they were easily comparable to the average SOM part people had. I did little jobbing here and there just to get the SOM weapon.

That's why I said, an alternate way in gaining coins, people can always do job or do FGW,or unique hunting, whatever suits their playing style.

However, if you think the economy side of it, there's no gold to be made from choosing the other activities. At least 70% and even more of the gold which circulates the server in the beginning has been generated by trading. These people will mostly save their gold for the gear after they are satisfied with their first sets, have their avatars etc. They won't be spreading a massive amount of it right away all across the server. Therefore the silk and item prices will stay low for a while. This brings us to a situation where an average player, who doesn't want to go jobbing, will have to go, unless he wants to wait until people start to have some extra gold lying around and the botters' gold starts to affect the inflation rate. Also, everything's designed to reduce the total amount of gold with in the server. As of now, the full set costs somewhere close to 20 billion. The only other ways I see for making gold somewhat fast are selling silk, getting extremely lucky with drops or getting lucky with alchemy. Collecting elixirs, stones, getting SoS drops is not gonna get you anywhere near the amount of gold you need. Knowing the second coin is now in the form of gold, people are not ready to pay much for other items than the best gear. In the end I feel like there is not that much difference for someone who aims to have a strong character in a timely manner. With casual players it might be a different story but as you know, not too many things are designed by having their best interest in mind... Also, I have to add that everytime someone skips trading, it leads to less opportunities for thieves and lowers their rates while trading profits stay the same. This leads to less people becoming thieves because hunting and trading is so much faster. There would naturally be less action around as well.

So, we're looking at 16-18th for the official release now.

Good news. I finally got my will through and the server will only have a single coin type. So you'll be given more freedom for selecting your activities. Altough, combining jobbing with the other possible ways will still result in the most efficent way of obtaining the SoM gear.
Launch is set for tomorrow 11.00 AM UTC.

Yes i suck at timezones. Two easy ways: 1. Know your own time zone, if it's +2, then you take the given UTC time and add those 2 hours. 2. Google UTC time and watch it hit the given time.
