Make gold tradable for experience points 1:1
Make that trade subject to exp nerf at high levels. 50k gold would buy you 10k exp at lvl 98
So this way of 'leveling' would only work for low to mid level characters
- low character couldn't hold much gold but they dont need much exp to level
- mid character could hold a bit more .. especially from lvl 31 up but they need quite a bit of exp to level then
This would be perfectly balanced.. if you're 95% to the next level and worrying about dying or just *must* have that extra skill point *now* ... just pick up a few plates and get yourself trained with Kashya/Fara/Natalya (although she disappears later hrmmm, Ormus is a wacko, so is Alkor and Asheara has a snake fetish ) / Tyrael (some divine pointers regarding tactics :lol: ) / Qual-khek (sp?)
If you think it would be overpowered it wont. It takes time to haul orbs/plates/scepters in and sell them. Time that could be spent leveling the 'normal' way. This would be just a way to get rid of excess gold and for untwinked/SP characters it would make an alternative for when going gets tough with monsters.
Hell one could even sell/trade gold to others on Bnet. Especially < lvl 30 as they have quite limited stash space and cannot haul in vast amounts.
Of course .. I can just practically smell a gold dupe cheat coming up on Bnet closed if this went ahead ...
