Glitch needs an active bank!

I've been looking for one for ages! Anyone thinking of starting one?

  • Considering there is no real way to randomly lose currants, and no remotely stable investment opportunities, a user-run bank would be such a disaster xD

    But I mean, if you have too many currants, I'm sure there are people who will... watch them for you. Lol.

  • There have been two.
    The first was created by past XP leader-board champ en.
    It is/was called Glitch National Bank
    www.glitch.com/groups/RA5SQ...
    It never really got off the ground.

    The second was run by someone through an alt account.
    It was called First Bank of UR.
    www.glitch.com/groups/RDOKA...
    It "closed suddenly".

    This is an interesting post written about the subject you bring up.

  • How do you make your money Simplin? You buy so many rare items and offer so, so, so much!

  • iDylan - I bid on lot's of rare item offerings but don't have much luck winning. Recently I have been making Expensive Grilled Cheese. It is not the most exciting way to make currants though.

    daniel5457 - perhaps you should start a bank (?).

  • I don't see the point myself, but nonetheless this is an Idea and should go in the Ideas Forum, where the devs will see it

  • Why?

  • I'm sure the whole point of the upgrades card system was to make sure that players didn't become the strongest just by the virtue of joining the earliest... So a bank that gave interest would be counter to that, right?

  • why do we need a bank?  

    I mean really.  Exactly.  why. explain.  in detail. what function would a bank serve. 

    That done, recognize that there is no way to enforce contracts in glitch, which makes the whole thing moot.

  • This isnt WoW, this isnt Runescape. You arent walking around tons of items taking up your bags that you have no where else to store them.  This is Glitch, and we have /homes where we put our stuff. Our /homes have locks on the doors so our stuff is safe (except from bugs and our own stupidity).

    There is no need of a bank in Glitch.

  • I like the idea and all, and frankly, i see what you're doing. You're just wanting to do something fresh, never done before, to help Glitch in the most you can. I respect that. And if you want an idea, shoot me a message in the mail. I got tons of ideas just stored up, but I can't do them all. (This goes out to everyone). *im in the process of two, one being a trick or treat route, and a newspaper!

  • I'm not a bank, but I'll take your currants. ;)
