Yes, some of it was originally handed out for posts. Do you know how much d2jsp forum gold was made from posts and how much from "donations? Judging from all the "donators", some of whom have spend thousands of dollars on it, I'm willing to bet the ratio isn't in your arguments favor. Even if it was, the fact of the matter is you have to spend real money to get more of the currency now.

still it's not new.

look at WoW

everyone can buy gold

gold = items = goldraids = raid items = highend gear

or just buy full accounts.

obvs noob, fg in first place was never bought, it was handed out for posts. from there the fg amount has never rizen , but has fallen due to locked players.
but the thing is irl cash is never ending there is no balance rich kids will sweap the hole list and buy every fucking good item and u poor will always remain poor. this dosnt make the game into a game but more of a job



Looks like we'll be paying a monthly (or weekly, daily, even hourly) fee to play this game after all.

I'm assuming gold still drops from monsters as we kill them. And since they are worth real-life money(RLM), we are losing it whenever we are in the game and not killing monsters. While we are killing monsters, our equipments will be damaged, and we have to spend gold (hence RLM) to repair them. When we are purchasing potions, we will be spending gold (also RLM) to buy them. When we are upgrading our Artisans, we are spending gold or items-that-are-valuable-in-terms-of-gold (ala RLM) to do that.

Oh, and here's the kicker: when we are gambling with our Artisans for items with nice stats, we are doing that with gold (yep, that's just Real Life Money) to either lose it or get a nice lucky payout in terms of gold value (or RLM value). Welcome to Las Vegas, citizens of the world!

And if you only choose to use the gold-based AH? Too bad, whether you want to admit it or stick your head in the sand, you are using RLM anyway because, again, gold can be sold for RLM.

read my post, i edited it
also the fg in d2jsp never rizes but falls due to lock on players and bans. fg goes into a endless cycle providing a steady economi but the money in the world is unlimited

Oh my god, gold can be sold for real money. That's a horrible tragedy that has never occurred in any other game, ever.

You have no idea how gaming economics works if you think this is in any way different than any other video game. Need to repair or buy a boe in WOW or any other mmo? Buy gold from a chinese site, or buy d2jsp forum gold and trade it with someone here.

When you gamble in d2 you're gambling with money, since you could be selling those items on d2jsp and getting forum gold (which is worth money) out of it.

Unbelievable how ignorant you are.

D2jsp inflates every time someone spends more money on it. In fact, since it's an unregulated currency that isn't backed up by gold, silver, or a country's word it's far less stable than them. Njaguar could shut his site down tomorrow and you couldn't do anything about it, but that's not likely to occur with a real currency

still the game must be a game. Blizzard breaks the rule now. As someone already said, its a tragedy for community. Because there is a way to progress through with just money, which blizzard supports now
