Not that I use PLEX a lot. But if I am not mistaken, you can use a Plex through the Asset Window.
At least I had never the need to transport PLEX. And I think I used a plex in high sec that was stored in 00 space.
Transporting PLEX was always something for the unknowing poor.
However I do suggest to Arrange the Vault not in the Inventory. Your Personal wallet is a much better place. It can be an own tab there next to your own balance and Corp balance. It can also contain the services there.
Also I vote for keeping Aurum. PLEX may be more common in use, but it is directly tied to the subscription. Other Services tied to Plex are so uncommon in the language. So I think not used very often.
To PLEX an Account is very Iconic and it does mean to buy subscription time indirectly through ISK...
Thus, I suggest to demote Plex into a service name, which means to Extend subscription by 30 days through Aurum (3500 AUR / Month). Which complies with the meaning it currently has.
I suggest further to make Aurum a trade able Currency like PLEX is today. Maybe issuing a special Aurum Container as Item for trade.
Maybe if you feel more Comfortable you can only fill the Aurum Container with 3500 Aurum (or the value of one todays Plex)
And you have the Option to Issue different Container Sizes in Future.
That would be less intrusive for players. Less Conversion hassles and less Market impact by messing with an Items that are existing while changeing its fundamental value. Plus gving CCP more market Option in future due its Flexible Dsign to Package Aurum in Containers. (Reference -> World of Tanks, World of Warships. Working very nice there)
However I assume that the impact on your development would be higher. But to be honest, I think it is personal totaly worth the Hassle. Also it is a development Opportunity.
I also think that Aurum will be as Popular as Plex is today, as soon as it is tradeable. Its today unpopularity is more an effect that it resides in the Shadow of PLEX which are far more improtant in its overall use today. There is no need to hold to the idea it has today.
I like the general direction of the Idea and Plan. So I appreciate the step no matter what you decide in the end. It can feel more or less clumsy ;) But it is all a matter of Definition, not procedure. |
