hmmmmmmmmmz
*Cracks his nuckles* and away we go...

1. Given amount of purchasable BA with NCB is 720 (just like the NUB)
2. Given that the average price of BA over the 4 months that it lasts is 700CB$ each.

Total price of BA purchase (not including amount of CB$ earned) = 720*700*7(1week)*4(1month)*4(4months) = 56448000 = YIKES!

I won't even begin to point out the errors in that math formula, but the end result at least is a lot lower than 56M.

just a rough number of how much aupstar need to restart. However, the number can change a tiny bit due to special xp & cash time.

[Tranquility]-USDForger [Azn Forgesmith] November 3 2005 9:42 AM EST

i would say about 16 millions.

YOU November 3 2005 9:43 AM EST

Well:

720 * 700 = amount of money costing for 1 days worth of BA

times 30 = average days for 1 month
times 4 = 4 months

720 * 700 = 504,000

504,000 * 30 = 15,120,000

15,120,000 * 4 = 60,480,000

hmmm 60 mil?

you guys have it so wrong in the math,

First off at 720 ba the cost is like 500 at most maybe 400.

720 x 4months? imposisble because if that was the case then I would have "you may purchase 720ba" all the time instead of it being lower.

right now I can purchase 503 ba at 804 a piece.

another factor you have not considered is that based on rewards, about 3/4 or more of the ba cost is returned as money to pay for more ba bought.

Example would be that if I had 100k to spend on 503 ba, I co uld keep spending as much as I could, fight with the ba and then keep buying the ba. So with 100k I could theoretically buy 400k worth of ba.

And 720ba does not last a long time it only lasts about 2 days. Then the ba refresh rate goes down fast and gets stuck at 8ba till like 350k+ mpr and that is where it hits 503 7/10 ba stuff.

NCB doesn't work that way though. We pay the same as NUB, but without the rewards, so an NCB char makes a little over 1/3 per BA as a NUB character will. Unless the NCB user had a _LOT_ of cash stored up, and probably a constant supply of income via rentals/loans there is no way a NCB char will be able to buy every single BA.

Not that it matters much. 2.71x the normal xp is a pretty hefty boost, most people will pass where their old chars would have been even without buying BA by the time their NCB wears off.

Major Pain and "you", please enlighten me with how you calculated your results and I think shade has made a more accurate estimate of what I set out to do simply by using a 30 day month instead of 28...=)

Also, I'm not sure but I think with an NCB char you get 70% of the cash you normally get...can someone confirm this..?
