Posted November 30, 2015 Folk would spend more. It'd be great for the economy. I've seen some very cool merchant setups, which the game isn't ready for because first the customer has to find a Token to get money out of their bank. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 30, 2015 Maybe we have something like a checkbook or what ever and if we pay we can put that instead of the silver on the merchant and it will take from our bank account thru that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 30, 2015 Hrm... on one hand it would be very convenient, especially when the buyer and/or the merchant don't have exact change. On the otherhand it cuts out the chance of catching someone with coin on them in pvp. Maybe one of those PvE-only things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only save in the Bank and we do not have cashless payments, because a few centuries too late for the Wurm setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 30, 2015 For me and my way of playing the game, in pve, it would've been great. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twice now, ive founded a deed and realised, the money was on my person instead of where it needed to be, the bank. What about sending mail? .. money taken from the bank. I'm sure i could find more examples if i cared to. It's all very well applying logic to things, but it doesn't wash so well in wurm. If we need a fudge factor, we can call it magic.

Posted November 30, 2015 This is already implemented when CODing items. You automaticly get money from the reciever to your bank. The same when collecting something from the mailbox that has a cost, the money will be taken from your bank. Shouldnt be hard work to implement this for the rest aswell. But i can agree that it would have some minor impacts on the pvp side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) International banking was available in the medieval world in the time of crusades and templars, even before full plate armour was a thing Edited November 30, 2015 by Simyaci 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2015 I don't understand the -1 for pvp, but there's no economy worthwhile on pvp servers anyway so +1 for all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its roots were in merchant receipts of deposit during the Tang Dynasty (618–907), as merchants andwholesalers desired to avoid the heavy bulk of copper coinage in large commercial transactions.[5][6][7] During the Yuan Dynasty, banknotes were adopted by theMongol Empire. In Europe, the concept of banknotes was first introduced during the 13th century by travelers such as Marco Polo,[8][9] with European banknotes appearing in 1661 in Sweden.

Posted December 1, 2015 +1 It would be a major shopping improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2015 If the spirits that deliver the mail are able to handle money usually, then they should be able to deliver it to me if there is a mailbox nearby. Without being able to relocate the token within a deed, perhaps a mailbox could be placed to serve as a means to access your bank. I don't think the spirits would mind the business.

Really cool would be having bankers as NPC's this would require them to be placed first and adding the more realistic flavour without them being available everywere.

Posted December 7, 2015 I don't understand why you'd wanna split the code for this, it would have the same affect on both clusters and there's no downsides to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
