2k1 currency is 1 gralat = 10 cents US. I think this works out nicely since you really won't be paying less than 10 cents US for any item in the game... I mean I can't even think of a Graal item that would have the value of 10 cents... I'd love to have this sort of system for Bomy Island when it's finally released. There would be plenty of items to sell too... none of which would be powerful weapons or stat boosting items. Just off the top of my head I could sell:

- special clothing sets
- mutation potions to mutate into different animal-human hybrids
- bomy pets/special bomy pet looks
- special house furniture
- cool looking shields/swords/bows not available in the game otherwise
- new emotions/playable ganis

so on and so forth... =) The only thing you'd have to watch out for is that people would start making servers with barely any content and then try to get people to buy everything... I mean, my server will have a ton of clothing varieties available without paying... but if this system was in effect, I'd make some awesome looking outfits in addition to what I planned to have in the game anyway.

Another idea is to pay for a "premium ticket" which lasts a set amount of time (like a week or month) that while in use, allows for more item drops from monsters, or more gralat earned from jobs... or whatever. They also have that on Gunbound as well. You basically earn more money than normal and you get your name in gold and your chat text is a special color and stuff. It does give some advantages that way but it's not really effecting the non-paying players directly.
