Vaerah Vahrokha Minmatar Vahrokh Consulting	Posted - 2011.05.28 06:36:00 - [1] Edited by: Vaerah Vahrokha on 28/05/2011 06:41:02 As soon as I have seen the new dev blog about Aurum and the new items I immediately had a vision of how what a great opportunity for EvE it could be. I will use some short technical lingo borrowed from Forex, where two currencies are paired by adjoining their names. Technically Aurum is a new currency added to a game sporting a global currency (ISKAUR), a floating ISK vs RL money pair (USDISK) and a series of floating local currencies (ISK vs Racial factions LP). EvE could be streamlined and optimized to achieve many new peaks of richness by leveraging both on this and on LP stores features. 1) The LP store interface could finally be remade and streamlined to cover Aurum items. This would also give players a long awaited fix for such interface. 2) The Aurum items could be purchased in two forms: pre-made or BPC. BPCs would make industrialists happy. 3) Of course these BPCs would be heavily made by PI commodities, providing for a much needed PI sink and maybe allow for an enrichment of PI with new production chains. All become happier, industrialists and PI guys. 4) The derived appreciation for PI items would open more viability for DUST 514, as the PI plants would become more relevant and thus worth being guarded. 5) Both aurum made items and BPCs would be possible to buy and sell on the markets. 6) Optional but a great streamlining opportunity: also add new tradable products: currencies. Maybe even allow short selling on them, like any modern economy would allow for. ISKAUR comes to mind, a float currency not the planned, artificial smelling fixed currency. 7) Optional: Factional Loyalty Points become the other, local currencies and as such they may be bidirectionally exchanged with ISK. They gain a floating value and greater visibility and thus optimization. 8) Optional: LP now become a currency so you may purchase regular, non faction yet racial items. I.e. a regular Dominix could be bought for ISK or one of Gallentean LP corporation points, LP being automatically converted into ISK with their currency float value. Anyone excited with the huge potential of what I typed above? If so please bump (no like feature) this so a CCP representative may see it and forward to the Game Design department.

Novee InFeldspar	Posted - 2011.05.28 06:47:00 - [2] Some interesting ideas posed here, good stuff Vaerah. LP's can certainly be thought of as that organisation's native currency. However its probably best posted or moved to the Features and Ideas Discussion forum.
Dracnys Caldari	Posted - 2011.05.28 06:55:00 - [3] Awesome idea! I'm not sold on the idea of vanity items for Aurum/PLEX, but with this system it becomes very interesting. It's very eve-ish and as the OP said it makes more people interact with the system and each other.
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2011.05.28 07:01:00 - [4] I like the LP/ISK conversion thingy. Makes Eve more complex (what I like) but at the same moment will be the ideas fault ('we' dumb down lately and I bet 9.000 AURUM that CCP thinks that more currencies (besides ISK) are considered a 'useless' complication without a higher effect) Get rid of Rooms with Doors - Shortrange Jumpdrives for everybody!

Makes Eve more complex (what I like) but at the same moment will be the ideas fault ('we' dumb down lately and I bet 9.000 AURUM that CCP thinks that more currencies (besides ISK) are considered a 'useless' complication without a higher effect) I totally understand you but let's look at the actual current situation to show my idea in its proper light. The current status is even more confusing, in the sense that LPs are de facto floating local currencies already. Just browse any of hundreds "what's best LP/ISK corps" threads. LP/ISK is a currency pair. Furthermore the current lack of more direct conversion makes them complicated more than with my suggestion to make them directly tradable for ISK. IE my suggestion keeps complexity but less than the current situation. Edit: not only I reduce complexity a bit but also make LP more useful. How many times you happen to have those spare 3k LP off a corp you don't bother dealing with ATM and you could purchase your racial indy / a cheap racial ship BPO.

Jennifer Starling Imperial Navy Forum Patrol	Posted - 2011.05.28 09:07:00 - [6] Nice "Features and Ideas Discussion" thread. Perhaps in 2016?

Vaerah Vahrokha Minmatar Vahrokh Consulting	Posted - 2011.05.28 14:44:00 - [8] Originally by: Jennifer Starling Nice "Features and Ideas Discussion" thread. Perhaps in 2016? I don't like Features and Ideas Discussion, it seems a graveyard for ideas that won't be looked at, even once. Auditing \| Research \| 3rd Party \| Collateral Holding \| EvE RL Charity
Galleus Oramara Caldari Financial Facilitation	Posted - 2011.05.28 14:53:00 - [9] I like the suggested points. Especially the link to creating a PI sink. Paying people on Dust514 with AUR will give them a value to actually take part in it and would make sense if ISK are InterStellar Kredits, then AUR would be used for 'planet side' activities such as items produced on them, services, etc. Could be brilliant, lets hope they take the points on board when developing it in the future.
J Kunjeh Gallente	Posted - 2011.05.28 17:27:00 - [10] Definitely some solid ideas there...CCP should be taking notes on this. ~Gnosis~


CCP Navigator C C P C C P Alliance	Posted - 2011.05.28 19:38:00 - [11] Vaerah, That is a really well thought out post. I am going to lock it and ask that you repost it in the actual blog thread for two reasons. Firstly, cross posting is not allowed and, secondly, the team responsible for the store are monitoring the Dev Blog thread and providing feedback. as a small team they cannot read every single post in every sub forum about Aurum. Many Thanks. Navigator Lead Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online
