Why not? Some people have and dont need, some need and dont have.

So now with the ability to gain all the Duels you want, you also want to have them 100% protected?
meh, guess it will pay for the server anyway.

Josh, do you mean for Jason to sell it as a resource, or for accounts to sell it to others?
Though I do tend to agree with Lore. Before we could buy duals it was a great idea for smaller accounts to potentially earn some big naq selling it to accounts that needed it. Now I'm not too sure as it would merely become another $$ resource for people to sell.

I think it could be of some use. If there is a limit. Like you can only buy X amount per week from players

but where would you draw the limit? and why? it will only help the popular and rich to do so as weaker accounts will line up to sell them not only for resources but for protection and favors.
Do we really want people with 10 duels protected 100%?
I mean if we do then fine lets do it, me personally, I don't.
10 Att/Def duels and your looking at what 2 or 2.5 trill strikes and defenses with about 1 mill men and a good MS

I don't like it at all. This game needs at least one commodity, if you will, which people aren't able to hoarde as easily. And if you're talking about funding the server, then I'm willing to bit that Jason will make ten times more from the people who buy $50 USS just for the merlins than if he started selling them as singular units or opening them up to the black market.

What about having a two different systems for regular planets and dual planets?
To give one days worth to a dual, you have to use up five days worth of MPDSD? Or ten for one day while for regular planets it could be one or three.

A dual planet is only 2 stats. At the worst it should only be 2 Merlin days versus 1 for a 'normal' planet, though I do not agree with the idea at all Spideron. Duals are still planets and they aren't protected any differently from any other planet so I don't really see the reasoning to make them use up more merlin.

when i read the title it seemed like an ok idea but after reading some things like people could horde them all.
i now disagree and say this is a bad idea

i.e.
imagine a person with, say 10 accounts (11 including main)
10x3x3 = 90... 90 days of PPT per week...
They can have all 10 of their planets permanently protected and still have 3MTs to use up...
BAD idea...

I was thinking the same. Especially if it is tradeable on the market.

oh if they are tradable then you will see multis skyrocket, and you will see "friends" who never play log in 1 time a week just to give their merlins away.
