I have a character that is stinking rich (Prince of the castle I mentioned earlier) and he uses banks to store a large slab of his money. Why? The bank is close to the shops, saves him from carrying large amounts to and from his apartment, saves him trying to find a new spot all those coins in his apartments. You don't want to put too many coins in the one spot, it becomes hard to pick up an amount you can actually carry. > The idea of a "credit card" or "check" system that would > automatically withdraw/deposit currency (so you don't have to carry it > around all the coins or gems) into your bank account has been dismissed > because it doesn't fit into the genra of the game. Banks have been around for a very long time. They are mostly in the business of making money from loans, storing money is just a service they offer so that they have a bigger capital base to make loans from. If you add loans to the system, it makes more sense, and you can send big nasty monsters after defaulters B-). http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
