I have come up with the best gold sink.

Just as the Shout Box cost 1 FSP per post,
I think there should be a Game Chat that costs gold...

This would allow players to speak their minds openly on site. but have it cost 10K or 1K to make a post.... that would be a gold sink that you want right there....

...If it happened, I'd like to see the cost of each subsequent post increasing tenfold.. i.e. first shout cost 10k, next shout costs 100k.. third shout costs 1mil.

Every 24 hour period it could reset back to 10k..

Just having a standard figure/fee would be too open to abuse.

With the 'gold chat' i think it would be flooded with spam, like the FSP shoutbox. Thats just a cheaper version.

That is the idea...
I want a cheaper version of the Shout Box...
Call it a Chat Box and have it scroll like the IRC but doesnt have to save so much.
and keep a standard amount per post, but maybe make it a one minute difference in post instead of the Shout Box 5 minute difference...

I like the idea in general but there should be a way to prevent spam, and something that makes it different than the shoutbox (eg. the chat box only displays the 3 most recent posts.)

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!

A few thoughts:

Put a lvl cap on it, so that the higher ups can't use it. This would prevent abuse in a way. Plus everyone knows that the higher ups are able to afford FSP a lot better than people say below the 70's. Also it would allow advertising for the lower lvls in ways the higher lvls advertise.

Also like the exponential increase idea in cost. But have it reset every five minutes, also not 10-fold, maybe like 2-fold...

i had this idea a while back well to allow ppl to post using gold as it would shift it out the game as u can well believe i was ripped to shreads all the same bs it will be spammed make it so it costs 1 mill gold blah blah ......
is a good idea and if u made it 75k a message ppl would see it slighty cheaper then a fsp and use it instead which is what u want ....to the idiots who say make it more then 100k why then ppl will just go buy a fsp and use that for a message and taht takes fsp out the game and not gold like we want
