A little thing I started doing on my server, and my fiance has taken over, and has been working well. I am selling Chance Cubes on my Vendor, each is named "xk Imperial Faction by Phoen'ix" with a Vendor spam that says to trade to the named player for the appropiate faction.


This allows players to get your name and get's you the money ahead of time. It has worked pretty well... so just thought I would share with you all.

that sounds like a pretty cool idea and as long as you deliver on the FP part (and you must for the system to work between you and the client) could take off huge if enough people know about it.

Well so far it's been working pretty well. I was getting regular tells from people wanting to get their faction. They send me a tell I'd meet up with them, They'd give me the cube I'd give them the faction, quick easy, and I already have the money up front.


My fiance' has taken over the buisness and she seems to be doing alright as well. The best part is this generates you alot of visiblity if you are or work with a merchant. The way you would work it with a merchant only varies slightly. Basicly he sells the cubeson his vendor, the customer brings you the cube, and you give hiim the faction. In order to get your money back, you offer the cube back up to the merchants vendor for the agreed upon ammount, then he buys it back an you get your money. Only downside to this is you will need to either have a good sized stash of cash or faction to handle the sales till you get paid.



And yes this whole system garners alot of trust on all fronts. Also remeber, take only cubes made by the desiginated person, this is your verification that your not getting anunpaid for cube.
