Upon hearing Evale's quick rejection, Myropsis turned to Eldrian, "He will, in this case even if everyone dies the resources won't be lost."
"But what if I die first, then they will be without it." Eldrian quickly countered, not wishing to take the hot potato either. Tens of thousands of gold coins was simply a mind-boggling amount to him. The current exchange rate for coins had come to 1 silver per dollar, slightly cheaper than at the start but still quite an amount.
Most players actually felt it would rise again, it had degraded a great deal thanks to the efforts of the empires. With players no longer needing to gather their own weapons, no longer needing to pay to learn basic spells, the need for coins had depreciated a lot. The only reason it was actually still so strong was because of how rare coins still were.
