Gold to Crown Exchange

Simple and easy, 1000 gold for 10 crowns, easy enough for even low levels to get, max gold is 300,000 so that's 300 crowns, get 9,900 more gold, and you can buy a pack, and so forth

No, doing Moo Manchu once gives you 200k gold and doesn't take long, with this, you could get 200 crowns and if you keep doing it, you can get lots of crowns fast. And not to mention, I have 2 couch potato farms whole farming Moo Manchu which just equates to more gold and more crowns.

Bad Idea, we already have multiple ways to earn small amounts of crowns, this is something that could possibly put Wizard101 closed and leave KingsIsle at a major financial loss, membership alone would not be enough to fund kingsisle as much. Even if you don't like it, kingsisle needs money to continue making their products. You may use Earn Crowns, Trivia, or Daily Assignments if you would like to earn small amounts of crowns.

could be a good idea but max gold should be one crown

Pirate101 has gold and crowns.
This is a gold to crown exchange.

Your point is?

we could have super gold you can't buy stuff with super gold besides crowns it would be like this something on the street would have a 1% out of 100% chance to drop super gold ( only at worlds higher then ds ) and bosses ( at worlds higher then ds ) would have a 10% out of 100% once you would get max super gold ( same as max number of normal gold ) you could buy ten crowns

KI is a business. For them to keep providing us with a game to play they need to keep making money off it. If they ever even think of doing a gold to crowns exchange, the game is over. Gold is free and endlessly available. I don't care how high you make the exchange, gold is FREE and ENDLESS. It takes a few minutes to max out your gold.

sure 1000 gold for 10 crownds but 30,000 for 300 crowns. 300,000 would be 3000 crowns.

Lol Kingisle would go bankrupt

( Dont have to take this reply srsly)

How about only on a max lvl character and have to have max gold exactly, and trade it for 100-150 crowns?

Exactly what I want! You can buy gold with crowns but you can't buy crowns with gold!

My max is 450k and I have to work to spend that. I can spend it all and refill it in no time. Giving me 4500 crowns whenever I feel like it is just crazy.

The only way this would work would be to make the gold price so ridiculously high that it wouldn't be worth it.

Even then it wouldn't make sense for KI. I can max my gold in no time between gardening and farming. I throw away max gold regularly to make space. Giving me more free crowns, above the 4000+ already available for free every month from trivia and daily assignments would just be stupid.

This.

Gold is an unlimited in-game resource. If players could use it to buy Crowns, the sales of Crowns would tank. Sure, some people with more money than sense might still buy them, but while I can afford to buy (and do buy) chunks of Crowns, if I could get unlimited Crowns from farming, I'd never pay for them again. I don't imagine I'm alone.

KingsIsle already provides players with the equivalent of $8 worth of Crowns per month if they want to earn them by watching videos / doing trivia. Unlimited is ridiculous.

Maybe they'll add a third avenue and the 4,000 might increase to 5,000 - but they'll never do gold to Crown exchange.

actually super gold is a nice idea. I have never seen an other game with 3 currencies (besides Crusaders Quest & King of Thieves, but those are ipad games), and it would make it unique. Super gold can only be used in Crowns Shop and there would be a 3rd option on "super gold" on certain items
