Suggestion : Bank / exchange

Just a little suggestion, make some character that would be able to exchange copper to silvers or silver to cooper, for a fee of something like... 3-4%

or literally a bank. Save your money there, withdraw it as copper or silvers, depending on your choice. Each time you withdraw, you lose about 1-2% of the value you're withdrawing.

Yes, there was a Bank of Troll's Bane, but it has to stop it's business because many debtors did not pay their debts.

Arameh lost the "_" in his name, and I can't get over it. It's just wrong.

Dusty is always willing to change coin for anybody, without a fee. Just ask him IG.

IG a Bank is hard work, and many players don't pay their debts. And even fewer are willing to invest in one. In medieval times it was the monasteries and guilds who did banking anyways. The famous "Swiss" banks all hail from Templar origins, and the Guilds of Venice all had their own currencies.

If you'd like to see a 'Bank', its probably best if a 'Guild' does it, thereby spreading around the cost and the effort. You can't count on a sole person to be available when you need money.

Personally, I have a hard time getting things done as 'Dusty', because so many people need to trade and earn money, and he's often 'ambushed' in the time he has. It's alright, because I love it, and I wish I could be on more, but a new baby just limited his time, sorry. That's why he's harder to find these days. In the future, I may do something like a 'bank' but its impossible just now.

An NPC changing copper to Silvercoins and back would already help a lot. I hate spare change!

Nevermind the bank that gives debt, just keeps your money safe and exchange copper into silver.
