A quick suggestion! It would be really more fun if gold wasnt stored in “bank account” and rather had to be in chests. For example. When you sell a chest or voyage item, NPC gives you chest with gold rqther then sends your booty to “pirate credit card” then you have to grab your gold and hide it on some island by digging it into the ground, locations you hide in persistent between servers. So and they would take such gold chests(“cash”) instead of withdrawing from your “pirate bank”.
And, for example, when your ship is sunk, one of your chest’s loocation map would drop as ship loot or can be stolen from the active ship, so other players can find it as a mini-quest. And if they do find it, they get more and more maps for your chests on this island, untill they find all. The better you hide, the more you save.
This way you could store your gold on multiple
Islands instead of “pirat bank”, so as you’ll have to grab them in order to buy something.
That’s it!

@guyjustcool That would effectively make every spot on every island contain a chest if it persists between servers...
@guyjustcool This is an intersting idea. I't sounds simular to others like buring gold. I also had a simular idea for a personal hoard for Pirate Legends. So if i understand correctly all the gold you collect you can choose to keep it in varing different chest. Which you can then choose to bury on any island and then if your ship gets sunk it then generates a map like a message in a bottle for anyone to pick up a go find. The more you get sunk the more gold you risk losing depending how many you previously buried. Is that about right?
@guyjustcool said in Gold mechanic(Hide your gold!):
@enf0rcer exactly
Ok then i have a few question for you to consider.
- Who is this for? Beginers have very little gold and so its of great value, while Pirate Legends have little need for gold.
- Why would they want this? There needs to be some reward or benfit to offset the risk.
- What value does this add? Is it a solution to a problem or does it add some unique experience.
- How can this break the game? If implemented how can players use this to cheat the system and what will the solution be to mitigate the misuses.
