weird market limit

Post by Guest » 04.09.2010, 00:00

okay, so my friend has just quit and sold me all his items cheap, including 5billion power, so i put it on the market and it says 2.147billion on market


why is there a limit, and secondly why is that limit such a strange number?

It has to do with binary code, or more effectively the constraints on c++ code or the variant upjers uses. Its the same thing that stops builds at 37. something K.
I personally think its moronic since I can own tens of billions of power not limited at 2.147b, an player with more than a passing knowledge of programing might be able to share a better reason. Or google knows all,...up to you!

It is quite annoying, since this way the power prices will never go down in Realm 1. :wink:

If someone rich (or some rich people) tried to bring the power price down, they couldn't market more than 85 billion power or so at a time (using up all their market offers, assuming they have premium), which would be bought up by the massive Capitalists and Trillionaires instantly. :(

If they could market more billions of power (even a few trillion) which were bought from the NPC and resold for a few 0.01ths of a cap cheaper, then maybe they could saturate the market, and keep the price lower. :)
