Ok, something has got to be done. With the new implementation of gem prices (they dropped from 16g each (in dartmoor) to 1.67775 each (added the price of each of the 4 gems dropped in dartmoor, and divided by 4). This is actually very bad for Albion. Now, the leading means of creating new currency in the Albion economy is salvaging weapons (Dartmoor or DF) and selling hinges. Well, this is a problem. It is a fact that Albion cannot keep DF for very long, and when we do get it, we are almost always met at the gate by opposition forces that rival those found in the frontiers. We will be unable to farm the seals necessary to buy the Diamond Swords which net the most amount of cash. As for the Dartmoor salvages, me and a friend stayed in Dartmoor for 6 hours (timed) and hit all 4 corners and the middle in a consistent pattern. The grand total of all the salvages (done by an LGM Weapon Crafter) was a paltry 667g. 6 hours, 667g. Now here is the cause for real concern. The Midgaurd realm holds DF on average about 80% of the time. So now the most effective and really the only way to introduce new money into the Albion economy is under a strangle hold by the Midgaurdians. This is what all this means: Any brand new players (were talking first character, level 1) to the server that chooses to go Albion will have EXTREME difficulty accumulating the money needed to outfit a fortified level 50 (and can you imagine if they want to be a crafter?) Now for all of us elders with 3 and 4 50s, were like "who cares?" Well, those new players will leave shortly probably to find some other game to play. Then, slowly over time (i estimate 2 months) the effect of the Midgaurdian strangle hold over the economy will be felt. They will most likely have all relics, an extreme population boost (people leaving Albion for Midgaurd, word of mouth to real life friends) more crafters in all areas of expertise which means more opportunities to get something made, imbued, etc. and playing Albion wont only be MUCH less fun, it will be shear stupidity. And you want to know what the dagger in the heart is? Albion is the only realm without SI implemented characters (im talking Necromancers). Gem prices wouldn't be an issue if we had the all mighty cash cow that is the Necromancer, but surprise surprise, we don't. Uthgard is a wonderful server and i do have a lot, A LOT of fun playing here. The staff is great and ive never had to wait more than 2 minutes with any problem. But you can't change something so important to Albion side of the server under the guise of "keeping the server authentic" and then have no cares in the world about not implementing Necromancers. You are either 100% authentic classic, or you adapt to your servers needs. You can't pick and choose what MUST be authentic at all costs! and ignore other areas of fallacy. I am requesting help with this issue. Albions, complain, start some dialogue with the admins and GM and let them know that this is a very bad change! Either give us Necromancers, or change the gem prices back to before. You are slowly killing Albion, and eventually, it might hurt the entire server. Why log in your Midgaurdian if there is no one to kill? (this same exact depression will happen to Hibernia as well, seeing as how DF is the new key to fortune, which the Midgaurdians, as mentioned before, have about 80% of the time) PLEASE ADRESS THIS ISSUE

could you please make some spaces with a few new lines? it really is hard to read this

Albion can't afford spaces and lines.

Wow its really hard to read. Learn to make sentences! Why you talk about Albion? The prices are adjusted to be exactly like live servers in ALL realms.

All loot prices in our db have wrong prices due to a bug which caused them to have x10 prices. Only the loot generator capped the price so the bug was not noticable a lot. A GM wondered about the different prices for gems on Uthgard compared to live servers, checked it and finally corrected all loot items he found. There will be more corrections soon since 95% of our loot items still have wrong prices.

Always remember, every bug will be fixed sooner or later. But it will be fixed. This applies to item prices too.

Its not my fault that your forum code is programmed to deal with text like Windows 95 notebook. Way to dodge the issue. And if you had read, you would know EXACTLY why i was talking about albion. The issue is the long term problems of the price reduction of loot when dealing with an economy that has been inflating since the server opened. Do you think wormskin wraps always costs 14p? As an RPG player, if i came to your server today, saw how much money i was going to have to spend in order to compete with the veterans there, THEN saw how much money i was making out in the fields???? Ha, who would stick around. And just a little refresher course, sentences are separated by periods, not spaces. Thats a paragraph. Learn grammar.

It's sad to see the server continously pummeling albion. Albion has with three relics not even 200 people out of 900 ish server visitors, that's not even close to 1/3. Albion is severly underpopulated and its creating all kinds of problem.

Now of course albion is the realm who gets a money 'fix' while midgard and hib happily can farm cash at a rate unseen in the whole realm of albion. Why even bother playing alb?

... seriously what are you guys so upset about?

all realms get this change don't you know? as blue just said, there was a 10x multiplier in all of the DB meaning hibs and albs are affected too

and saying mid has DF 80% of the time isn't true

blue could you pull some stats because I think its pretty much 30/30/30 on a monthly period


also albs underpopulated? they do pretty darn well imo


relics as of today:

3x power relics: mids
3x str relics: albs

wtb some hib love! xD

and yall are all worried about "exactly like live servers" where are the necromancers?

Bonemasters: Check
Animists: Check
Necromancers: ... well, we dont have to be EXACTLY like live servers

your argument is flawed sir

Stop complaining about Albion being nerfed!

These price bugfixes are applied to >ALL< realms. I said the prices were quite wrong due to a bug 6 years ago.

If you don't stop flame mode you risk a ban.

yeah, im looking ahead, your stats of today are pretty fair.... YOU CHANGED THE PRICES 2 DAYS AGO

do you honestly think it will look like that in a month?

maybe were complaining because its unfair. All the details are in my report that i first posted up top. The more you post, the more im 100% sure you didnt read it. You keep bringing up issues that i covered. try actually reading it

I did read your 2nd post (with spaces)

and not having necros is a poor argument for loosing all your players, use a cabalist they pve soooo good here and can farm very fast

not having DF: simply not true

did I miss anything ?

lets remove bonedancers and animists
