Dear OOO,

I think it would be a great idea if there was more to do at the core. I know you are working hard to expand the game and plot further, but as of now, I think it'd be cool if we could sell our left over vials there. I'm not asking for a lot of cr, but as an extra bonus maybe like 200 cr per health pill/remedy, and 100 cr per other vial.

If you like that idea, I think being able to do that at the other starting/ending points such as emberlight or moorcraft would be nice as well. The pills dont have to be worth as much there.

Another idea I had was to be able to buy mist tanks down at the core. Maybe not the 100 ones, but the mini mist tanks that refill 15, and they would be untradable. In order to prevent disruption of the CE balance, a person could only purchase 1 each time they got down there, and hold a maximum of 2 or 5. But the energy would have to be cheaper than CE. So based on the CE price maybe we could make a mini mist tank worth like 500 cr. Hope you consider these ideas! Do support me fellow players (:!

They can be as valuable as minerals
And each day the price would be different

Pretty good idea owlet, maybe

Pretty good idea owlet, maybe they could make a character to sell them to like a little supply store that can fit into the storyline, collecting supplies for an assault on the core...

and I might be able to do something with those vials I keep winning on the prize wheel before going into the core.

mini mist tanks idea is good, might be helpful at every mini town, but as they dont come from players 000 dont get anything out of it, and it eats into their business model in a way as they'd rather players buy from and get frustrated enough with the 100 model than allow players to get hold of smaller amounts of energy to help them along. My guess is they would make the mini tanks more expensive than ce, not cheaper.

Modified suggestion

I liked the comments here. I'm thinking we can sell the vials/pills for a VERY TINY profit of like 5 cr each. But mist tanks cannot be more expensive than CE otherwise who could buy it?

Perhaps you should look at it the other way? 15 units of energy that can be obtained cheaper than CE and isn't purchased by real money at any given stage. Now 15 doesn't sound like an awful lot, but you've got to do this with every player. Even just 100 players doing this on a daily basis would be generating 1500 units of energy that isn't purely the free mist and isn't being purchased by actual money. Worse, it's a source of extra energy that is pretty much infinite, allowing a player to keep rebuying these everytime they do a T3 run, as opposed to the existing energy tanks that are once per knight for each one acquired.

I'm thinking we can sell the vials/pills for a VERY TINY profit of like 5 cr each.

Hm, I suppose I wouldn't be totally against it if for a tiny amount. Just concerns me for a couple of reasons in general:

A) It seems to encourage players to be even more grab happy when it comes to pickups.
B) It seems to miss the point of these items.
