Hi, I'm Tirali and am new to Sylestia. Having only played for a week (give or take a day) I am still uncovering things about the site. A day or two into joining, I noticed that gold is somewhat hard to get, which in my opinion is good, but as hard as it is to accumulate funds, it is terribly easy to go bankrupt ( which isn't terrible either to a degree). I was wondering if perhaps a feature has been suggested for saving your hard earned gold.

Most pet sites have a standard 'bank' and noticing that Sylestia stands out a bit from the average pet site, I figured that implementing the standard 'bank' just wouldn't work well for what Sylestia has. My idea was to offer Sylesti banks to buy either using gold ( not really recommended) or scales. These banks would be like a piggy bank except with various sylesti instead of piggies. Each user would/could be limited to one bank at a time, if said user wished to change his/her bank for a different Sylesti theme, a small penalty could be added for the 'refurbishing' of the used bank and the user could then buy a new bank.


I'm not familiar with what it takes to implement a system like this and am open to ways in which to streamline this rough draft of an idea. Thanks for reading, I'll be heading back to the Town Barracks and doing missions! :D

I seriously wait for the day a bank is implemented ahaha.

But I like the Sylestia-piggy bank idea. xD

The fact is that, you're right, a standard bank isn't really needed. Gold literally has a limitless capacity (same with scales), and the user probably has to practice self-budgeting without the use of a bank.

But I honestly really wish banks (and storage boxes for items as well) were a thing aha.

Gold is only hard to get in the beginning. It gets rapidly easier as you level up your pets. Just do missions and you'll get more gold than you need. c:

Though I do support the bank idea. :)

Yeah, once you can do missions, gold is somewhat easier to get. I like it that there really isn't a get rich quick scheme because that can cause problems with the economy, but there are some things that you can only get with large sums of gold, like diamonds for those of us who can't otherwise afford to get a hold of.

In light of teaching money skills, self-budgeting is good to learn, but so is learning to save money and letting it grow.

The piggy banks would be an optional item, not everyone may want to have one but for those of us who do, we would have a way to save. Any other ideas?
