Mayhem Server releases with auto granted TS and no platinum …

    Keep Kronos, who cares, let them be used and traded.

    Give everyone at level 25, all trade skills to 200, then at 60, bump all trade skills to 300 automatically while letting them level normally as well … why, because maybe it’s easier to auto grant that than change the way they level and still lets you develop a trophy by doing combines. It also may bring Tradeskills into the game in a much larger way.

    Do away with money essentially, either by putting in a quest mob that hands you 1 million pp per hail or truncate all currency on characters and in banks to 99 gold and offer every item for 1 copper from vendors. Let loot drop and money drop like normal from mobs however it only gives your character a max of 99 gold … arguably enough to buy anything you need before going out and refilling your buying power stash to max by killing a lvl 10 mob.

    Let defiant gear drop and let people explore vendor shopping and TS items for alts even day 1 without someone saying sure play EQ, just cash in a krono or two …

    Make it same loot as mischief or normal but I would prefer same line as mischief with community suggestions to improve and encourage the flow of items to the community writ large while discouraging behavior that harkens back to the enchanter epic quest spoon.

    Why call it mayhem, well seems like people would go crazy trying to use Krono as currency in the game, maybe it will even bring back some old folks that remember the fun of helping and giving away stuff in game.

    The barter won’t disappear but really be a true barter system. Perhaps name and reputation may mean more on a server like this.

    Let Mayhem solve the Harvard Business question of what will they do with Kronos without a common currency like pp! But really let the server go crazy helping each other without regard to how much pp should I buy krono for or get for selling krono; let them trade in furs or Orc skulls.

    Perhaps this is the worst idea ever and would fail year 1. Perhaps many people would logon to see something so wild and idiotic.

    Perhaps it would make many people cry because it would be too hard to make money off a server like this. Perhaps it could minimize the focus on Kronos.

    Harvard business undergraduates need a case study!

    Krono would still be traded for items as there is no need for plat to be in the equation.

    Yes please let them trade krono for items.

    Not sure how this would change anything over a normal TLP server.

    This is yet another "ruleset" devised by a player who incorrectly believes that Krono is a problem

    PRO TIP: Krono is not a problem and it's working exactly as intended on all servers
