I thank we should be able to buy crowns with gold some where in Wizard city
Gold is too easy to obtain. If you think this is a good idea, I'm sorry it isn't. If they were to even think of making a place where you could buy Crowns (something bought with IRL money) for Gold (in game renewable currency), then expect it to be no LESS than 5,000 Gold for 1 Crown. Again, Gold is too easy to obtain, so this would make Crowns worthless.
First of all, if it was in wc all the noobs would get to it. If it would be anywhere, it would be in cl. Second, KI needs to make money. They need the money we use from our crowns to make the spiral a better place.

Who cares if "noobs" could get to it. Do you want to get special privileges just because your a high level? If this does exist then it should be in firecat ally or cyclops lane so only paying members can get to it.

Agree with you on this part, though it would be kinda nice to get those easy crowns. Maybe after a pvp match everyone (even losers) would be rewarded 1-10 crowns. This would discourage fleeing in the middle of a match leaving your teammates stranded.

I agree with Johnist on this. Gold is very easy to obtain, whether you are farming for the wooden chests or farming bosses and selling the loot.
And I can attest to that because I had one of my legendaries farming pearls and Shock-a-locks in stormriven. In about 2 hours time I had acquired over 3,000 in gold just from the silver and wooden chests. I have also been trying to complete badges on all of my wizards and in the process, I have to go to the Bazaar every couple of days at least depending on how long I run on any given day. So NO, crowns should not be buyable with gold.

I am sorry to tell you that free players can get into those areas. I know. I have just set up a free account ( not sure I am going to keep) and my wizard is already in that area.
Crowns should not be obtainable with gold. There are already a very large portion of the items in the crown shop that can be bought with gold (the houses, for one, and many mounts), so there's no need to further increase what people can obtain with gold.
Also, as has been said... Gold is EASY to get. With a good party, knowledge of the place, and just a smidgen of luck, you can rake up 50,000 gold in an hour or less! Being able to convert gold to crowns would not only drastically lower Kingisle's income, but also be a laugh in the face to those of us who do buy crowns.
This would not work. Wizard101 depends on crowns to make money in real life. And like any business they have to make profit to stay open. To do what you suggest would be business suicide. They would lose a lot of revenue if they started letting people buy crowns for gold.

Actually you can't access fire cat alley and a few other places in wizard city unless you pay for them. If you can get in them and it is a free account you should report this to wizard101, because if they find out you are in an area and aren't supposed to be and you don't tell them, then you could be in trouble for taking advantage of a bug in the game.
there was a time that you could of paid gold for crown items i myself have a lot of crown item which i never paid a single crown for. but as you can see they changed it.

I have no intention of taking advantage of any bug. If and when I find my wizard where she should not be, I will be the first to report it.
thats a excellent idea
NO it is not an excellent idea. Some crowns items are already available in the crown shop for gold. But being able to buy Crowns with gold is not a good idea. And it would not be fair to the many wizards that have purchased crowns the way KI has it set up.
Sorry, crowns are not something that should be handed out for gold at any exchange rate. Crowns represent real money, so them handing out crowns for gold is comparable to you handing out money for slot machine coins. Maybe it would be fair to ask for members who have played for a long period of time to recieve a minor amount of crowns is fair, but gold can reach max in less than a week easily in celestia. It wouldnt be fair to ask to exchange it. This message is brought to you by my garden, WE PROUDLY RAISE NINJAS!
I think this an awesome ide how ever its true that gold is an easy obtainable so i think to make things fair 25,000 gold should equal 1 crown. that might seem worthless to do but if you really need a few its something doable and that way crown items remain valuable since getting over 2500 crowns would equal a lot of gold

I was thinking that the exchange rate would be based off of the Gold price to Crowns Price of something in the Crowns shop, or based off of the Crowns to Gold exchange in the Crowns shop. Like, the Gold to Crowns ration of the houses in the Crowns shop is 10:1, Gold:Crowns, so if they based the Exchange rate off of that, it would be 10 gold for 1 crown, but if they did that, they would probably make it only payable in certain amounts like 5000 for 500 at least amount payable. Off topic, but I seem to have the tendency to type a lot when I do type.

That is too overpriced. THe Most I would accept for one crown would be 2500.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but they probably WON'T ever use the Crowns to Gold ratio from the Crowns shop for Gold to Crowns. Gold is far too easy to obtain in game. Plant a bunch of Prickly Cactus Bears, and sell off all the Non-Mega Snacks. You'll usually make more than your money back by the second harvest.
Remember people, KingsIsle needs to make money in order to remain in business. Giving out Crowns for in-game gold would NOT be a sane money-making ability, unless it was for Members Only.

Johnist i totally agree as a wizard101 player who has purchased crowns i think that if you could buy crowns in an area in wizard city people would have wasted their money buying crowns online but one thing i disagree with is the price of crowns with gold i actually think 1 crown should equal 1,000 gold so if you want 20 you would spend 20,000 gold so what is the point?
