Is it ok to trade FSP in fallensword for FC in SS2? I recently saw couple of msg that was just asking to do that, very tempted to get some FC in this game. I forgot what the admin said about it so I didn't do it. Can someone remind me that is it ok?
FSP for FC?

Nope, it's against the rules. You should take a screenshot of the message and report them to HCS

I've seen it and been offerred it, but didn't because of the rule. I don't see why it's such a bad idea though...

I think it´s a bad idea, because HCS has no way how to control this kind of trade. For example: Someone offers you FPS for FCs, you send him whatever he wants, but he doesn´t keep his part of deal and you are scammed. You start crying out loud, send tickets etc. HCS just want to avoid this.

All this is academic really, cuz it's against the rules. If they catch you, you get kicked from BOTH games, I have no doubt. It's not worth the risk

I guess it depend on which support person handled your ticket. The one I reported was terminated from both games after using Find/Locate Player to see if he was still around and he wasn't.

yeah, there is a line in the acceptable use policy (u can see it using the link at the bottom of the screen) that pretty much says u cant do it. i think this is the main part that doesnt allow trading between games:
You may not advertise the intent to or commit the act of buying (excluding direct purchases from Hunted Cow Studios Ltd), selling, trading, sharing, or transferring access to any game account, Flux Crystals or any other commodities within the game for money, money's worth or commodities outwith the game. Game accounts are non-transferrable under any circumstances. All game accounts, characters, items, Flux Crystals, and other commodities within the game are the sole property of Hunted Cow Studios Ltd.
and i have seen people get terminated for trading fsp for fc before too.

i think that means u cant post somewhere like the sigma box that u want to trade fsp for fc or anything else like that between games. so anyone who does it and gets reported would get in trouble.

So I know this is not allowed - BUT I am curious why? The policy just doesn't seem rational to me. I understand it is pretty stupid to do this as it is easy to scam people this way, but that is part of the buyer beware common sense law right? so I am curious what the reason for this is beyond that.

Pretty much, I imagine. I can make over 10 FSPs per hunt in FS, and that figure may well be higher for higher level players. Think of the revenue HCS would lose if I could trade those for FCs. If you then factor in earning FSPs from SE hunting, buff selling, etc, you could end up with a situation where SS2 players didn't need to buy FCs at all because they could get enough of them from trading FSPs.HCS want you to spend money on both game i guess

I would have to disagree with that being the reason, because the only way flux gets into the game is by either someone donated, or did an offer, also the same with with FS. So even if we were allowed to do fsp/flux trading all its really doing is switching who is holding them, the amount of flux/fsps in the game actually never changes because the game doesn't have more put in or taken out.
There are a few huge reasons why not to allow it though...

As I see it the reasoning behind not allowing us to trade FC for FSP is irrelevant, at some point you need to choose your priorities, if you have $40 to spend ($50 in canada) you basically have 4 choices
1) buy $40 worth of FC, and wait for another time to buy FSP.
2) buy $40 worth of FSP, and wait for another time to buyFC.
3) if you need them both badly enough then take your losses and buy $20 in FC and $20 in FSP.
4) save your money until you have enought to buy the FC and FSP you want then buy them.
Just because both games are run by HCS doesn't mean that they have to allow us to trade the currency between games, if that was so I would Buy 1 FSP, buy 25k credits, send them over to SS2, use them to buy FC, trade the FC for FSP and start all over again. If you were running a gaming company would you want people doing that?
