ok so after a loooong night drinking allot of booze whejn trying to get to sleep at 4am i had this idea pop into my head …..

Why do Most games have the same currency?

what do i mean by this?, well i don’t mean it in the sense of “every game has gold” or “kinah” im talking about races, in every game i’ve played, (wow, L2, FFXIV, Aion, Rift, DBO, Digimon Masters, GW, Tera) all the different races of the world have the same currency?, il use GW2 as an example. they have 5 races, Human, Charr, Sylvari, Norn, and Asura, the Human’s and Charr have been at war for over 250 years …. do you REALLY think they would have the same currency?, of course they wouldn’t, the Charr might have “beast coins” for example, Humans “Gold”, Sylvari being a leaf races born from a great white tree may have some sort of golden leaf as its currency ect.

i know what your thinking with all them currency’s it would get too complicated??, maybe but im sure people would work it out, let’s say your a Human going into a Charr controlled area such as the Black Citadel, and currently you only have 1000 gold coins, these coins would be of no use here and would have to be exchanged at a NPC for beast coins and so on, but depending on the story and what events are going on the exchange rate/ taxes could rise or fall, as an example, during a dynamic event you could have chosen to not slay the incoming horde of ogres and let a outpost/hub get over run, this could drop the exchange rate and make beast coins worth allot less to the human gold coin. imo this would make the world feel so much more alive and living, something like that would really make me immersed and i think role players would love it too ^.^

anyways what do you guys think? nice idea?, crap ? w,e i don’t care? XD,


p.s i think this is my longest and prob my only non trolling post ever XD
