Hey folks, got some cool news about something you guys have been asking about for a while. RadioScience made it his priority this month to get a Quality of Life improvement out this month, and were proud to pull back the curtain on it: a resource cap increase for Silver players.
Coming very soon, were going to be releasing a C-Store item thatll let Silvers increase their resource cap. In addition, were increasing the default Silver cap for free as a bonus to everyone.

Excellent move. It should have happened a couple years ago, but it is still a wise decision.

Bacon Overlord@Mensar knows what the resource cap is, also the q cap.
next item: is there any way to get rid of the stupid, 20hr ban on using zone chat, PM's and invites for new accts.
The time when people need to ask questions the most, they can't.
1. we don't have gold sellers.
2. it doesn't affect custom channels.
or this;
currently we have to keep a manual list of scammers to warn people when they are on, if the SG column om the ignore Table,was changed to a write-able column, we could list what they were on ignore for. So anyone asks, you check and say.
also useful for those people who keep putting people on ignore but then can't remember why

Agreed on both accounts. I seriously was annoyed how people would post items on the AH that we silvers would like to have but set them to 250.00.01 resources, preventing us to get them on our own.

Glad to hear about the increase for silver. That should help the economy.
I think an email might have been nice though for folks that hadn't seen the warning about the cap drop. I have several characters that would have been affected.
EDIT: Are you changing the SG bank cap that's also 217K or messing with the shared storage that's 100K?
Just curious so I know where to put what.
Thanks.

components were the de facto currency. since you could buy and sell them to/from vendors for 1g

Maybe so, but at least then real money wasn't at all involved in unsafe trades.

Thanks for this!
(Now, how about doing this with power coloring? I can dream!)

IT FINALLY ACTUALLY GONNA HAPPEN!
OH MY GOD!
Better late than Never
Now I gotta log in and shift some money around between folks.
New lower max cap 200,000 G is good.
Unlock for Silvers is good.
Also curious if Hideout bank and Super Group banks will be capped at 200,000 G?
Effects? Speculation? Inflation?
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
Maybe. Or, since filthy Silvers can now participate on the AH, they'll want to buy vehicles, expensive lock box costume, etc. Because, you know, they actually can without worry of scams or hassling that gold / lts they know.

1: the item better raise the cap account wide, or it's going to anger a LOT of people
2: Why did we have to wait so long to get something that STO has had for years?

Yeah some things are broken... no I don't use/abuse them.. where would be the fun in that?
The reason why I am asking is that other MMO's allow silver players to purchase level caps, but the effect only lasts for a certain time (2 weeks, for example) and then it must be purchased again.
Now, will be great if you can give more options for Freeform slot characters, that gold members can. Like being able recolor the powers. It's a very expensive product in comparison with what we get from it.
And believe me, I would go subcription if I had the means for it. For now, I have to be satisfied with 2 free form slots that I got. Btw, got both in the same month of the black friday discount, but missed!
This resource cap always was the biggest annoyance for me in the game (and for a lot of other Siver players too, i guess) i'm really happy in hear this notice. Even having to buy an Z iten to unlock it, i'm sure that it will worth the cost
Info taken from the link that TT provided.
so that's $5 for account wide.

Step 1: Raise Resources Cap
Step 2: ???
Step 3: PROFIT!
Based on the article and all I would say it's permanent. And it is very much welcome to me. Since I am new it would have been a long time before I got to the cap but it did worry me based on the problems voiced here regarding the AH. This is not the first game I have played where players ended up using some item as currency because the currency had some problem, either.
Bravo to them for not only offering something people have suggested in the past but giving part of the increase away for free. One thing people need to remember is that in a game like this benefits to the free players also help people who aren't playing on a free account because it helps the overall economy. And remember, besides the fact that free players do help the game even if they don't spend money, the fact they aren't currently subscribing doesn't mean they aren't spending money on the game. This is a prime example of something that can help support the game and I predict a LOT of people are gonna spend Zen on this.
Do you like this game? Do you want it to get better? Put your money where your mouth is! Go for the Gold!
Doing this would not lose Cryptic money, in fact it could increase income as people purchase items to give or resell which they have not previously been able to.

I am still a bit skeptical about this change. If a Silver player upgrades to the resource cap, then there is little reason for that player to upgrade to a Gold account. I am not sure if this change will help the game economy; I think more players will simply spam the chat channels with private sales of rare items.
So, for 5 dollars (the real money cost of the resource upgrade), a sliver player can purchase more items from the AH without having to play some of the game content. Hmm... I wonder how that will affect current Gold members? Will more Gold members let their subscription lapse because of this increase? Many Gold member perks are also purchasable or at least limited for Silver members; only a small number are Gold member exclusves.
I think that gold members should get more exclusive perks due to this resource increase to ensure players feel that their gold membership is worth having. For example, gold members should be able to play ANY content without limits or diminishing returns, including comic book content.
Overall, the resource cap increase is a good thing and I have nothing against it; however, I think that it should be balanced out with more gold member exclusives.

I don't see the problem with paying and getting more, how is that an issue?
Right now it's pay...don't pay...it's pretty close to the same.
Having spent several years as a gold, then a year as a silver and now as an LTS, I have to say that a purchasable cap unlock is a fantastic idea, it's not giving the silvers anything that they wouldn't have to pay for. The overall bonus cap increase I don't see being something to be worried about from a free standpoint, it'll be an adjustment for the economy for sure, but it'll even out eventually and players can choose to pay for the unlock as they wish.

Naturally BUGS are great to ferret out. New content is always welcome (areas to PLAY in, not just STUFF, imo). But, my biggest hope is they find a way to reintroduce ALL of the old costume unlocks + various costumes that ONLY were associated with slotting the item.
Sure, I still have lots of old Power Replace items w/ costume unlocks, but I'd really rather those become obsolete because I'd rather there be a way for players to acquire the unlock without my (and others) limited supply of such.

There's still a significant amount of stuff that silvers don't get access to unlike gold.
It's not like they're getting a resource cap increase for free anyway. They'd still have to pay for it like some of the other stuff already ingame if they don't want to go gold.
Don't gold members already earn a new FF slot every time a character reach lvl40? Don't they already have exclusive rewards for the total sub time they have? Don't they receive every month 500ZEN to spend in the store, have exclusive costume pieces, premium costume pieces unlocked, besides extra inventory bags, more char slots from the start?
How putting in the store items that silvers can buy can be discouraging for golds? Sorry, but that sounds kind of elitist.
Silvers who can't or don't want to sub whatever the reason, won't do it regardless of those rewards.
