For instance, if a player has 50 dollars now, with the new currency, he/she will have 250 gold. You, Aeon, pick the ratio. This way, someone with 6 stacks of gold won't be Bill Gates AND people are less likely to use the pigmen arena to get rich.
If the server could adopt something like that along with the chest shop, I may reconsider my vote.
It would have to be a much smaller conversion ratio than that. For instance, I have about $9,000 in-game. So 9000/50 = 180 * 250 = 45,000 pieces of gold. Granted, this is a rather large conversion rate, but regardless, you would not have to worry about a bunch of new people turnin into CFEW Bill Gates and Warren Buffetts. You'd have to worry about established players setting the bar for wealth so high that no one could even fathom approaching it.
