hello Res,

Lately everyone seems to be saying there just isn't enought Tu around and Res is in an 'economic' depression (I think that's a bit over the top but I admit people seem to have less and less tu to spend:/) so I was thinking, may be there should be away to buy credits (with real money) which you can then turn in to tu?

This will help Res by paying the website so it can keep going and put more tu back in circulation!

What do you guys think??

you can already do that. you can buy credits with real money and then sell them in the forums or in merchant shops for tu.

no support.

punk- I know that but my point is no one has the Tu to buy the credits what your selling (well very few people do) or even the cs items that you buy with the credits.

I ment change the credits in to Tu via the website (like how you can change/buy credits with TU from the website

 

(hope that makes it clearer)

i understand but i still dont see a point in it. from what i have seen credits/credit items are bought pretty often with tu. i usually end up buying credits whenever i get the tu. i dont see the need for there to be a feature that allows you to turn your credits into tu. I think a lot of people end up buying credits with tu instead of money either because they are too young, dont have the money, or refuse to use real money on a virtual game. and as for the exchange from credits to tu if its going to give you the same amount of tu that it would cost to buy them in the CS for tu then people would be turning in their credits and credit prices will go up making them harder to sell. i don't think an exchange will get rid of the problem if there is one it seems the problem would stay there. since it is 25mil to buy 100 credits from the CS with tu however you can buy 100 credits from users for around 15.5mil. in my mind that would make me think "well if i can get 25mil by exchanging my credits then why should i sell them cheaper?"

hope that made sense.

It does punk. :3 Really the biggest tu sink in the game /is/ basically the credit system.
The more people that buy credits with tu the less of it there is.
Things are just hard to sell these days really :/

That being said this idea is moot so no support but I think skypi is on to something at least.
Tu is very hard to come buy. I price my rancher at the lowest rancher shop price unless the name is worth something. /Plus/ I will haggle lower with people and I still rarely sell anything :/

I think it used to be possible to exchange credits for tu back when credits were 100k each, but the conversion rate was something like 25k per credit... It was possible, but made no sense to use since you could sell them at 100k each or more. :v

I dunno, this won't affect me that much, so I'm neutral.

There are some changes coming as far as credits are concerned...something that has been in discussion among Pat and staff for a while now. To be bluntly honest, it is a large problem that credits are so easily obtained with TU, and that problem needs to be solved.

The site can't be run on TU - it takes real money to do that.
