Bank & Interest

Maybe it would be a good idea to have a higher banking capacity, and even interest that grows everyday
Just a thought, i only play a couple of times a week, so it would be great if my money that is sitting in the bank would grow, instead of incurring nasty 5% tax every time i bank.
maybe 10%

Bank Interest?
NO!
Your 'bank' insn't really a bank, just an offowrld safe area where nobody can find and steal naq from you. It doesn't earn interest. If it did then all the top people would simply max out their banks and watch the cash grow in them without any risk of it being nicked.
People would forget everything and simply get UPD to increase their bank size and then when it suited them take out a huge amount of cash and buy a huge amount of weapons.

If anything we should get FREE storage and minus 3/4 % per 24hrs or something.

bank interest is actually a good idea
if u just make the interest so small though it wouldn´t make any difference unless u had loads and loads in there
this could be made a whole new stratagy

Absolutly not why?
i tell u
firsth this game is a resoucre based game not a money one, ppl are comparing naqada as money but money can be interested on, but resources cant it makes no sense that mean i can put 10 tons of steel in my secret "bank" area and come back the next day and expect to pull out 11 tons of steel.
and plus there is always a point that u can actauuly live off ur interest for the rest of the game and i bet some players can get there and milk that interst for all its worth

I understand what you mean but on another Topic Apophis suggested a Kitty for alliances
maybe this could be only for alliances and could be tied in with Apophis´s idea of a Kitty somehow
how i do not know
any ideas ?

i remember when the game was slow and i just about had enough for one targeted gate weapon then elusive came along and stole 100k of naq, that was a lot of money in them days i tell ya i was pissed to say the least.
100k then is like the equivilant to a 20million steal now u gotta be quite lucky.

I don't use the bank (since I gain too much and don't log on too much to bank it), so a larger bank won't bug me. Interest will!

You guys has definitely not read the forums before even starting on the subject.
Interest == BAD
Bank == CLOSE TO BAD
Reason why, It will become a BANKING game.
This is Stargate WARS not Stargate BANK.
If everyone is banking and keeping their money in the bank for the interest, it will mean less target to attack and the only thing you will do is bank money and accumulate turns. Which in turn, bring total boreness of the bank system.
If I want interest in my money in the bank, I will crak my home bank and take all my pennies and bring them one by one in my bank in a saving account and look at the bank lady and say: Am I going to get a lot of interest today???
