[QUOTE="green slime, post: 4880441, member: 1325"] Isn't that sort of what the banks said by hiding their bad loans in other "securities" and selling them offshore? Exactly what did that manage to produce? Worldwide recession? Which so far has cost the taxpayers around the world a staggering [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8177814.stm"]10 trillion USD[/URL]?!? Imagine the effect when, on a global scale 30,000 9th level+ wizards decide, they too, want in on this get rich scheme. The player's prognosis is similar to what the manufacturers of Video tapes in the early 80's were making: In order to meet them, the entire planet would've had to be covered in Beta tapes to a depth of approx 10 ft. Likewise, for telecoms prior to the dotcom bubble. [i]teleport[/i] can only get you so far. It doesn't allow for interplanar travel. He can only get 900 miles per pop. Remember, he can only travel in one direction at a time, but news can travel in all directions. I would think, he might just find other wizards had already beaten him to his own game as he arrives with 50,000 vials of worthless alchemical fire. :D I'd love to see the look on the player's face... Somethings are truly priceless. [/QUOTE]
