AMT at shops
AMT at shops
Was thinking about having a credit card/atm type access in shops. When I use my debit card at some stores, there's like a 3 dollar charge, so would assume it could cost a fixed rate. This way you wouldn't not have to drag huge amounts of coin when you buy items.
Love the loan shark ideas, hate the ATM idea. Walking to the bank isn't so hard. ATMS/Debit at point of sale of any kind would contribute the mud to feel like one of those 12YO godded muds imho. The idea of having gems, or sealed letters worth 1K plat that you could first sell to the shopkeeper could work easily I reckon.

While I don't like the idea much Burma, there is precedence for it. Go buy something at auction or train with your guildmaster when you don't have cash in your inv... all your copper disappears.

The game is based on FR, obviously it doesn't follow it verbatim. So, you're saying whoever coded this is an idiot or something?
JACKPOT!

Due to some recent muggings in the area
larger sums of this nature are sent directly to your bank.

no the person who coded that is not an idiot, the code is actually quite cool, but as with ATMs it doesn't belong in a FR setting
since we're talking about Toril (timewarped to) 2005, where's my blackberry and digital cable so I can watch Ultimate TrollFighter live from the Arena on my 72" plasma tv!
quite honestly, things like slot machines and atms and automatic bank deposits/withdrawals shouldn't exist and should be removed from the game
why don't we just add airplanes, airports, subways, cars, rockets, and what not as well...it surely would be a convenience to have other modes of transportation other than slow ferrys/ships

Money being sent straight to the bank is the same thing as far as from a programming standpoint as the funds being put directly into the bank. Buying that wolfbane pot is around 10k. It's a huge drag carrying that kinda loot around. When you practice, it racks up from your bank account. Why not have ALL stores that way. What's the difference?? They could just have a charge for ppl who don't wish to carry lots of change for rogue pots or kits, etc.
Just to speak in favor of slot machines:
Even if it's anachronistic, they're fun! It gives you something to do in Split Shield, with the massive quantities of copper and silver you get. Talk to Branthur, he won a ton of silver while he was plevelling one of my characters there. Not only that, but you gotta respect the Tinker Gnomes. It must be fun to have that sort of technological skill.

Rather than seeing "subpar race/class," see "challenge."

Actually, I like the slot machines, but I would have liked them better if they'd been made in the form of a sleazy backroom in the tavern with a snaggle-toothed dealer and a barfly skag to blow your "dice" for you.
