Kurdanak Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) One could do the math on the prices of goods in-game compared to prices IRL, assuming that's what you're talking about. But that gets complicated. Edited November 4, 2015 by Kurdanak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speaker Faris Wheeler Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 One could do the math on the prices of goods in-game compared to prices IRL, assuming that's what you're talking about. But that gets complicated. Yes, but if you look at market prices and irl market prices, PnW market prices are higher. But then if you look at the cost of a Farm, its $1,000 in game, and prolly 7-15 million irl.

Administrators Alex Posted November 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2015 You can use Credits as the intermediary for conversion. 1 Credit = about $5 USD, and 1 Credit = about $1,000,000 in-game. Obviously there's some fluctuation there, as you can sell credits for more than that sometimes, and you can get credits at a smaller USD cost if you buy in bulk. But we can say those "cancel" each other out, and just call it $5 USD = $1,000,000 in-game. Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Administrators Alex Posted November 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2015 Interesting, if you use that rate and look at the total liquid cash available in the game, it comes out to approximate $16,000 worth in USD. https://politicsandwar.com/worldmap/ 1 Quote Is there a bug?

Speaker Faris Wheeler Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 So basically, $5 USD = 1 Credit = $1,000,000 so that means Every USD = $200,000 So EVERYBODY GO AND BUT A FARM THER ARE WORTH 1/2 A PENNY Quote Peace will never be accomplished without war, but war cannot happen without peace.... or something like that idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted November 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yeah, $16,120,000,000 OD / $200,000 OD = $80,600 USD More than your calculations Sheepster Oh, you're right! I divided by $1,000,000 instead of $200,000. My mistake, it's valued at even more! Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Dwemyrn Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 $200,000 Orbis = 1$ US dollars assuming that $1,000,000 is worth $5 (Based on the instant redeem to cash, not factoring in the market) 1 Quote -removed by thor- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitri Valko Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Using credits to base the conversion of USD to Orbis currency is rather lame. The conversion should be dependent on something other than pay-to-play currency, such as average wages, market costs, military enlistment, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrum Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) I think the best way to describe this in RL equivalent is like Venezuela's currency. In PW there is an official rate of $200,000 OB for every $1 US but there is a "black market" rate also known as the market rate that fluctuates based on supply and demand. This is like Venezuela's currency and since I do not feel like writing on something this complicated as I am not an expert I have supplied an experts commentary below. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-26/venezuela-s-currency-just-collapsed-30-on-the-black-market Edited November 4, 2015 by Redrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
