No.

I don't think that how well off you are in real life should affect how well you can play a game online. To me this goes against everything MR stands for, such as no spawned items, no teleports etc to make this server more of an equal playing field for everyone involved, and I think that this could be ruined by a few kids with their parents credit cards managing to become super-rich and powerful, without earning their wealth.

I also think that as Donor's don't get a rc incentive, surely that shows that the server does not encourage exchanging IRL money for credits, as many servers that I know of offer a set amount of items/currency for those donating to the server.

So everyone, if you care about MR and it not being flooded by overpowered kids, who have done nothing to work towards getting what they have then please click the 'No' button.

Uh, we wouldn't be selling credits. It would be people who have earned credits selling them to other players.

Minerealm could make A LOT of money if you created a server which:
  • 1. Was full, 100% PVP
    2. Massive map
    3. Website-Built-In credit for cash auction system
    4. Credits do more things. MUCH more things.
    5. And other stuff which i cant think of...

No

The ability to RWT will break the game imo, I said game not economy. The purpose of the game is to get your cash yourself, work for it and by having the possibility to just buy it from someone for irl cash will make the credits less valuable over time. Reason here is inflation no matter how you turn it: people will try to farm credits like crazy which they wouldn't have in other scenarios, than sell it to players how are to lazy to do it. These lazy players will have less feeling for the money as of how much it is worth (in hours gameplay) and therefor the economy might give ruined a bit as well.

The only problem I can see is if Intelli/other mods did this, and seeing as Intelli just said they wouldn't, looks fine by me. And about not working and getting credits? I hope you all understand you have to work for IRL money ;) , so it's actually more work to get a job and earn money than to hold the click button down and move your mouse around on a video game.

*looks at all the kids who got their parents credit cards*

Like they would need to work for it ...

Even if they had to work for it: 35$ (tehbomb420's price) for 100k means with a crappy student job you got that money in lets say 7 hours. I can't farm 100k in 7 hours which means ppl would accually profit from buying rc as the hours spent are lower by buying them for irl cash.

I don't think allowing it will have any impact on the economy/game. Realistically, how many people actually have the wealth to sell RC? There are a handful of people on the server who could and after one decent sale they will be out of credits and it will take them quite a bit of time to earn the credits back.

And if a new player does come along and buys 200k credits on his first day, who cares? Why does everyone see it as a problem that someone could have lot of RC all of a sudden? It has no impact on you. Maybe they are able to buy things all of a sudden but so could the person the RC originated from.

I understand that, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Summary: In my opinion people's wealth outside the game shouldn't lead to wealth inside the game, and vice versa.
