A serious question about gold I would like answered.

[Kyronix]

@Kyronix - I love the idea of converting gold into a non-physical form.

Question #1: Will check forcibly be turned into this system or will it be something the player can choose to implement?

Question #2: There are very old "white" checks in circulation. If forced change, will those be left alone or are they included in the switch?

Suggestion: If gold piles and checks are to be forcibly removed, I'd like to make a suggestion. I'd suggest new player crafted items to represent the gold stacks/piles/deed in game. These items could require x amount of gold plus other ingredients and once made could not be turned back into currency. This would allow decorators the freedom to still use the graphics for decorating or players who enjoy displaying the wealth. You could even go one step further and create larger coin pile graphics for treasure rooms and really turn this into a positive change that adds to the game. Gold piles with chests imbedded, armor, jewelry etc.

As I said in my previous post, the details are still in active development. In the conversations we've had it's clear that forcing checks into your virtual bank account is tricky if those items are not held in a container that can be directly tied to your character/account (like a bank) so while checks held in the bank can be converted easily, those that are held in a house for example, are a little more tricky. However we implement the changeover, making the process as easy as possible is very important to us.
