Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Main point is just for fun, not some form of actual research as, many have pointed out, it misses out a huge number of very important factors. Just interesting to see how much silver people currently have. It obviously misses things like income rate, asset value, even character value could come into play too I suppose as they are worth silver too. It would be impossible to get a proper picture of what the distribution is like, however it's just a fun metric seeing how currently silver is distributed. A graph showing silver/time would be interesting, to see the fluctuations. (As many have said, most people only have silver for short periods in order to buy specific items/upkeep/etc) Edited April 13, 2016 by Whisker 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 14, 2016 I'm betting i'm in the same boat as many other players .. my cash in hand is in a downward spiral ... the reduction in income from traders is forcing me to spend banked cash on upkeep. So, less money for buying anything from other players, and will only get worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 14, 2016 What is this wealth you speak of? I keep zero money in the bank. If i want to buy something I get some coin from the shop, and dump whatever is left into deed upkeep. On the other hand, I have about 2.5 gold currently distributed in upkeep across the various insanity deeds..... By the standard of "cash in the bank" I got nothing... but I think I'm doing ok. =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expected people to vote the maximum to troll or be funny anyways but there's nothing that can be done in a poll to stop it Part of the reason for the poll was that people keep saying deed upkeep should be lowered but by the looks of it most people claim to be able to afford a deed and a decent amount of upkeep with what they have just lying around in the bank Edited April 14, 2016 by Alexgopen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 14, 2016 As others have said, the poll doesn't really offer anything useful for us. There's already a bias that only forum goers will be voting (and on a guess, forum goers are going to be more rooted in the community and have more money, on average, than those that don't). Also the people who are actually voting is unlikely a representative sample of even forum goers, much less the general population. And of course there's no guarantee of truthfulness in the answer people are giving. Cool idea, but the execution is too flawed to yield good information :(.

If it was earned silver/gold from playing that would be more interesting to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) voted 2g and only then saw that it's only about money in the bank, my actual vote should then have been 50s as the rest of that is mostly stuck in deed upkeep and seryll lumps. These days I pretty much don't trade so all my money eventually goes to upkeep and then I buy new money from the shop. So that 50s will be gone pretty soon.
