What the heck, why not have our xunlai agent give us 5% of how much money we have in storage every month?

You hold a very compelling argument. You win.

Why would you get interest for putting gold in storage? The storage lady doesn't take your money and use it in other ways; it sits there. Storage =/= Bank by any means.

Where would the interest go? 5%/month = 50k... is it just going to magically appear on one of my already full chars? I think not. This would fall under the same problems as merging accounts (Gaile gave a storage issue in some thread somewhere).

Why must people be greedy? >.>

Edited spelling, but I was right the first time.

I wouldn't mind a 5% interest.

my 300,000 x 5% = 15,000

Unfortunately, it would end up just making the rich, richer.

The 1000k storage cap will stop the interest anyway when you reach this amount. Not signed

As much as I have thought about this it's still not going to happen. I thought something like this *might* work in the ideal world: the system is automatically capped at a certain value so that you won't go over the 1mil mark should it come to that. It worked inversely: the less you have the more interest you make and the more you have the less you make after certain predetermined values, until it stopped completely at the gold cap. That's just some thoughts I was throwing around but then again we can only dream, eh?

Yeah, because I'd put 1 gp in my storage then collect a bunch of intrest.

You create a thread, and then reply to posters in meaningless, thoughtless ways.

You win at life.
