Athenas Econmy

[##Bow##]

I beleive that Athenas econmy has gotten out of hand. Simply put, all prices are inflated beyond belief. 2K for 1 Iron Ore? No thank you.T.T Lets try to lower these prices okay? Ive devised a simple pricing plan to ensure that every one can survive to level 80. So this is my price list so far(For minerals):

Coal 200
Iron Ore 750
Iron 4000
Steel 45000
Copper 100
Brass 150
Clay-Slate Stone 1200
Gold Ore 750
Gold Bar 4000
Silver Ore 750
Silver Bar 4000
Aquamarine 150
Topaz 150
Jade 1500
Clay 1500
Sulfer 250
Limestone 1000
Pearl 500
Amber 100
Coral 100
Amethyst 100
Diamond 1000
Ruby 1000
Fire Stone 90000
Water Stone 90000
Wind Stone 90000
Land Stone 90000
Blessing Stone 200000/360000
Black Stone 5000
Titanium 10000
Bronze 10000
Lead 10000
Artisan Soul Stone 300000
Extension Stone 300000

Thats what I thought were acceptable prices for minerals. Disagree?Say so, but be prepared to elaborate on your disagreement. Ill be working in getting the makrtet stabilized as soon as possible. Please dont be sith lord and keep the same prices. Save the economy!:please:

Agreed sept lets just lower Artisan Soul Stone to 100 =D

Rofl you would set steel at 45000? its made from 3 iron ore(750 your price) and 2 limestone(1000) your price.

this dude is nuts... he doesnt know what he is saying..

[LinLan]

Pirces r set by demand and supply. If you think Iron ore price is 2 high you can : hunt it , mine it , try pshoping it for cheaper price.
Same for any item.
Average price changes in time in Hanyang>minister phoenix show real inflation value. Its related to total amount of [m] and ppl in server.

Market Market Market lol, No one is forcing anyone to use the market its ones self laziness to hunt so don't complain about the market cuz in reality all materials are free if you just hunt, mine, farm or fish it. hehe

I am sure this is a typo..4500 for steel

I agree with some kind of market control, but in reality if people dont hunt a mob that drops a certain mat the someone who does and fills in on the market will profit from it, simple.

ive bought steel at 9k a pop once

i agree i recently made an alt and i didnt realize how hard it is for new players to buy things off of the market.

but i also noticed that the higher level my main char got, the more mats i got.

its all about supply and demand people! :D

alot of players are lazy when it comes to hunting mats, they'll just buy it. so i just do my part by putting up the prices on mats that are used often [ie gold ore, iron ore] and make myself some money :thumbsup:

[JeffTheKing]

The only thing i have a prob with is the stone prices.When i 1st started playing Luminary, stone prices were no more than 20k.Then when the stones were wiped out for that little while, people freaked and the prices went up through the roof.I don't enjoy spending all my g coins on stones -.-

[FrozenSushi]

No one is forcing you to use gcoins to buy stones, though its easier, there are other ways of getting stones. :doh:

Few things I would like to point is are that ##bow## never said 'Do this or die!" rather she said(For no one said they were male) 'Lets try to lower these prices' so dont go ragging on and on about how it wont work. Think about it, anyone who visits this and starts to follow this 'price guide' has already done a major part in saving the econmy. They get their friends to do it, then their freinds do , then their friends and so.

You get the point. And your saying that if you had to start this game brand new right now, with no help from any alts and/or friends that you could get to level 50 without going broke a few dozen times???

Lets face it, Athena is popular in various areas. Almasha, Dromopolis, Sambara, Shenburry, Talatat NortonHam are the only towns that prosper (Ankha not being there cause they dont get other buildins, they are just for mining). What about the other towns that are not doing so well? Athravan and Svaha are on the verge of extinction....

I know thats a bit off topic, but it does relate to the econmy. Simply put if everything was cheaper then people have more money to donate to their towns, saving them from extinction....


Im done my rant now....I feel a little better....


Athravan FTW!!!!!
