  • A recent article mentioned purchasing extra teleport points.  I could see people buying things like extra fancy picks that have 1,000 uses.

  • I agree with there being more things purchasable, but I don't know about being able to buy currants. I mean, money is a big foundation of the game, and it seems way too easy to be able to just buy a whole bunch of them. And people who could afford it more than others would have a huge advantage, which doesn't seem in the spirit of the game.

  • Not to mention that currently having a ton of currants is not very useful. Other than buying items to donate to help reduce learning time, you really don't need a lot. I have never run out of money since it is so easy to go mining for 10 minutes and gain thousands in profit.

  • I agree that Currants and Credits should be kept separate. Not so much for the "advantage" (because Glitch goes out of its way to remove the competition aspect) but to avoid the "gold farming" aspect that creeps into most MMOs.
    Once the game goes open, it would be possible to make a bunch of accounts and mine or whatever. But as long as you cannot trade between credits and currants, it will keep the real world desire of real world cash out of the picture (mostly).
    There is always the danger that an outside system could be created. But as long as you can't transfer goods to someone directly (as opposed to meeting them and giving it to them), it will probably be too large of a hassle to make it worth while.
