Usually the best way to get interest out of naquadah is to actually spend it on something.

That is a good idea NoDot, that way you dont have to work out how much you actually have to take out to get the amount you want to say, buy the specific amount of a type of weapon and such.
As for loans, I would like to see loans, being able to borrow up to a certain amount, like 4 times your Turn Income Production that someone else suggested, and to pay it back and a percentage comes off your Turn Income Production, kinda like a morgage.
For Interest, maybe having the money "Locked Away" for a certain amount of time, either attack turns or game clicks.

The idea of getting inrest hmmmmmm i personally don't like anything that encoruages people to bank thierm oney away if this ahppened often enough only the high defense peeps would have naq showing and the game will halt .
Loans i don't suppot simply becuase people could be multing using more than one account taking out loans and then buying mercs and sending the mercs to others u might figure but u can't get much what if u did that 100 times then what ??????????
THe idea of a charge one u deposit instead of when u withdraw is great cuz u know u actually have acess to the amonut on the bank and not that -5% plus it would save people a lot of money

i alsow agree take off the 5% when we deposit money (and make the bank 5% smaller)
as for some one saying something about geting 1%intrest. why would that be done the bank is helping you more then your helping it. (not like todays banks that use the money u stick into an acount)

1% interest was an example read all the posts then you'll understand
as for the loans i hope this does get implemented then i would be able to afford level 8 spy skill

I did read all posts and the way you use the word "interest" does not make since so I just used the actual definition of it

When did I say I liked the idea??? Last I recall I just said it made nonsense. Only thing that should be done to the bank is make it 5% smaller and move their transaction free to the deposit (so you have to do less math) other then that it’s all a bad idea (what ever 'it' its).
just think of why it was made and you will see what i mean

Yea the loans sound like a great idea. I know some people want to finance there spy levels but maybe they could instead take out a loan with 10% intrest. You would also need to click on make payment and if you miss payment they could take money from you. So if some one attacks you and takes the money for your payment not only do your wepons get damanged but some of them get repossed. The max loan amonut then could be how much all of your wepons would sell for.

Oh, please I thought we finally dropped this. It's bad enough that people spend money that isn't theirs in the real world, thus getting into all sorts of trouble. I see no need to bring this into the game. You want interest on your naq? Spend it on UP, or even on a higher defense or offense. Eventually, it will pay off, and you'll get your interest. You want more naq? Spend it on weapons and sell them when the time is right. But loans? Before long we'll have a new race called lawyers, and the goa'uld will no longer be the most evil race in the universe.

how many times must we say it?
it's not a bank, it's a warehouse, and last time i checked, a warehouse doesn't spontaniously reproduce the items contianed wherein.

whatever, its used as a bank.
also for the goa'uld its a secret temple, they quite obviously should have some sortof of magical interest spell, pyramids always have spells nd stuff the put on em.
point : its used as a bank, why not allow interest, its a very good idea.
