i know ive talked about the prices a lot lately, but really if you look at how much everything costs and how much it costs to maintain just 1 character every month, its completely utterly ridiculous lol...
GM's, i challenge you to make a list of everything you would put on a character every month without looking at the items prices until your list is completed and youve totaled everything up. then do the math on how many people will likely be able to afford this... then make a middle ground where say...50 dollars (for example) should be able to get you 3/4 equipped with temporary items. the point being, you should be able to fully equip your characters every month with all the availible items youd like....for a price you can actually afford. youd still have items like reinforcement stones, exp scrolls, buff scrolls, etc etc etc to sell on top of that. but you need to find that middle ground instead of just guessing (which im pretty sure is what youre doing) what a good price would be.
