Topic: What's the "Gold Value" of prestige? Posted: 04 Jul 2012 at 20:04 |

I'd say it depends how much you value your time, how long does it take you make gold vrs how long it take you to make £30

I don't see how you can give prestige to someone. Logging onto their account is against the rules and that is not something that should be done. :/

You can sit someone and buy prestige for him

I think 1milion for just 1 prestige is a bit much as 5 are needed to extend a prestige account. 700-800k would be max for me to buy. won't even think about selling at any price

I would never trade prestige for any amount of gold

FYI Auraya, you can already gift prestige if you like, you just need to be set as a sitter, then you can buy for the account but not spend it.

I would never 'sell' prestige, even if the price was 10m per 1 prestige. I buy pres to support the game more than anything and on other games, I'm quite strict about not buying anything unless I think I'm going to be there for a very long time and I'm confident that the money I give will go back into the game development.
That said, I probably would gift prestige to friends in my alliance - for birthdays or helping me with something. I doubt the devs will ever allow the selling of prestige, Illyriad is supposed to be against 'pay to win'.

Obviously it was wrong, it was the price for 120% instead of 20%.  As far as this approximation makes sense it yields only about 240K gold per P, sorry.

I think 1 million is a fair price, as to whether I would sell it though I am not sure. I would proberbly rather my alliance gained from any pres that I did not want in preference to gaining 1 million gold.

People are already currently buying alliance prestige in exchange for resources, so it is possible to do with the current rules, but the premise of this thread is more hypothetical.
I'm curious if the 1 million number keeps coming up, if that would be the price people would like to buy it at, or would we end up with any sellers at that price point?
If you had to start a new account and couldn't buy any more prestige, would you rather start with 1000 prestige or 1 billion gold? Obviously if you had alts, or alliance mates that would change everything, but if you had to build the account all on its own.
Thanks for the replies already, I hope we can get a few more to chime in..
