Cross server trades.

with the increase of players trading in main resources for ascended resources and visa versa.

maybe its time for admin too think about allowing the 2 servers too trade ingame setting a president for prices rather than allowing players at the top on 1 server monopolize the prices and market for everyone else.

ok fair point
but at the 10th ascension it stops so its not the same

also its everything thats being taken whereas your/they are not buying motherships of people are you/they.

on main goods are bought n sold based on the ingame market prices cause if there better people use them rather than inflated prices on black market.

same should be allowed for ascension.

it would allow for a more diverse market.

K you missed something, something a bit major.

Look at the cost of ascension.
Say you ascend with a 200k UP
well that's 33 tril right there
plus another 14-17mil UU.
plus another 7 mil-10mil supers.

That gets you at most 10M APP
10M app is 350mil lifeforce

My price for ascension, dmu which would be 3.5 tril DMU since that's 350mil lifeforce. is wait for it.

between 25-35 tril naq, which means that you get to pay for the up, but you don't have to lose the uu, not to mention that you also don't have to have your account reset.

and your point is ?

im saying admin could do this too with a cross server trade.

what you state still doesnt alter the fact that after 10 ascensions only cross server trades are possible

i never once said your deals arnt better than ascending
just that admin could set a president by creating an option for trading ingame

I don't think he would put this in since their isn't ingame trading in ascension you must farm it from someone to get it not really a trade.

Trade would probably make ascension more active, as trading generates activity...

Which is obviously a good thing. I'm all for this, as people are doing cross-server trades already, there might as well be a way to do it properly (i.e. a trade broker) both to avoid scamming and so people don't have to sell their defences to do it.

Incidently, shouldn't this be in the ascended forum?

If admin were to add it, it'd be more likely to be from ascension to main only, which would pretty much screw over those who are trying to buy.

possibly but still a step in the right direction

i would think those selling dmu for naq would want that even so
i myself would be buying dmu and will do soon as you know hen :)

but i would still consider it a step in the right direction that ascension has the same trade options that main has.

didnt main start of without trade options aswell and i belive the majority of players would agree that the option too trade is a high priority on main now and a major part of game play.

alot of players dont play ascension because it doesnt support that

An ascended being doesn`t need to trade... :roll:

It sounds like crap to trade Life Force... it`s like selling your life... the same is for Dark Matter Units... you can`t trade something invisible for minerals (naquadah) for example. :roll:

If we're gonna talk about realism then I should probably point out that ascension doesn't exist...

Now that, good sir, is a religious debate.
