The Ultimate Adena Fix
the 2.1 billion adena glitch.
store more than 2,147,000,000 adena, and the game vaporizes the adena.
i have been told, it's unresolvable in code.
fine.
it's a 23 year old game. this type of thing ought to be expected.
but we don't have to live this way.
there is a fix. 100%.it's simple . .
create a new item, let's say just for example, a blessed feather, and a blessed feather NPC for this item.
it can be purchased from the npc, for 1 billion adena, and it can be sold to that npc, for 1 billion adena.
exchangeable back & forth.this will allow for a person, to hold billions of adena, in worth of these feathers, which can be used for trade, for end game items.
down the road, we need a means of exchange, for end game items.
things that are worth billions, perhaps tens of billions. think forward.this should not be seen as a "new feature" to the game, but rather a fix to something that is broken.
as it is, our high-end economy does not function, people can't sell extremely high end items for adena.
the game is broken in that respect, but it does not have to be.the item of exchange would be the most valuable currency in the game. it will have a special place in our server.
thus, it needs to be something visually beautiful. something we vote for, from a list of options Charles provides.counterpoint:
i like to think of the counterpoints to my points.
the problem with my suggestion, is people being careless, which is inevitable. we all do it.
so, someone may sell 3 blessed feathers to the NPC at once, receives 3 billion adena, and then the glitch activates and the adenas gone.
Charles would have to be dealing with this constantly, and that's unacceptable. this can't be something that causes him work, or it won't work.
so there will need to be a fix for this issue first.
the fix might be, the blessed feather NPC will only give you a blessed feather
if there is 0-1 feathers currently in your inventory, no more. and add a popup message.
then you store your feathers in storage, and you can collect all of them from storage for trades.sidenote:
back when i was on korean test in 1998, adena had weight.
we had to buy & trade Highest Quality Rubies, because high end
purchases back then could not be done because the adena would weigh too much.conclusion:
this suggestion is actually an imperative to the full & correct function of our economy, the full range of our economy.
if i were forced to make one & only one suggestion to fix Lineage, it would be this. -
Re: The Ultimate Adena Fix
This is a great idea, but I think instead of 1 Billion Adena = 1 of this new currency, it should be 1000 Adena = 1 of this new currency. Old School RuneScape has this type of system, the max cash stack is about 2.1 Billion on there. To fix that problem they put in platinum tokens, where 1000 Coins = 1 Platinum Token. I feel like this way may cause less problems than if it were to be equivalent to 1 billion Adena. Also, it would increase the max Adena allowed in your inventory by 1000 times, which is plenty.

Further Considerations . .
further considerations to this fix:
- functions with blessed feather NPC must be blocked, if current adena is above 1,147,000,000.
this is so that adena can never rise above 2,147,000,000 via usage of the blessed feather NPC.- shop mode allows for payment with blessed feathers.
this is by far the most important function of the entire fix, allowing for afk shop mode sales of items worth billions. -
Re: The Ultimate Adena Fix
I would make the item worth 100million or 250million or something like that. It doesn't have to be 1 billion that's so clunky and going to cause issues.
Instead of selling the item to shop, it could be crafted like a text link from NPC. That way you can only exchange 1/5/10 at a time.
Otherwise, great idea. Room for a neat custom item like "Charles' Pizza Roll" or something silly.
The item needs to be completely unique and out of place so there is no mistaking what it is for trades. It can't share a name/sprite with other items. It needs to be obvious that it is what it is. It could literally be called "Treasure chest containing 100m" or something to that effect.
Kern's Big Black Dick could be the item. That's worth a bil

Re: The Ultimate Adena Fix
I recall other servers used to have an online marketplace where you could transfer an item from your storage to the online marketplace. You could also transfer Adena to buy/sell. Implement the 1:1000 Adena item and use that as the currency. Sure you can't trade anything worth less than 1k but that's ok
