Any dropped item is advantage. And if player doesn't want to donate, but want to get something from shop - he have no chance. Plus this thing will help us pay for our adv ( cause we think you want more players know about server and join it ), scripters work, designer work, machines cost, ddos protection cost, all our proxys cost and etc. but an advantage by game mechanics not by donating... I think this is a bad move, it will also disrupt the server start. You dont have to have a master in economics to know that prices of these coins will skyrocket when more adena flows trough the server... So your best way to make adena is buy them when they are cheap... Like at a server start. i don't think so. i have a master in economics, and i don't see the reason why tradable CoL can break the game or its economy. its just another item in the L2 economy, and its price will depend of different variables, flow of adena, utility of that item. and offer and demand, if there are too much CoL the price will stay low, and if not, maybe a bit higher but, few CoL means low impact in the L2 economy. There are a lot primary and important items in L2 where the players will have to spend his money, they cant buy CoL and forget about equipment, shots. And believe me, forget about your experience in the OBT, there won't be a lot of adena in the x3 server. I would love to know which institution gave you a "masters in economics" when you fail to understand that trading CoL devalues the ingame currencies. In less than a week with this currency damage, the economy will already be irreversible. Hence, in another thread I mentioned the lifespan of this server will only be 3-4 months given its path. History of economics (neoliberal or economy led policies) have already shown how core countries depreciate other peripheral countries' currencies and all this server is doing is exactly the same thing, but instead in a video game from exterior interests and policy makers (IE administration's short term transaction and financial gains) without necessarily exploiting through loans but through introducing a new form of currency and how it, as said before, devalues the previous means of trading and currency. It was a good try, but it came to light that this is another p2w server under the guise of a nostalgic "classic" server. Not much here that is classic, just hopes and wishes that it were truly classic.
