This is probably a very controversial idea but I wanted to throw it out there and see what people thought.
Potterworld has transitioned into MMORPG style gameplay, and virtual currency does not make a ton of sense in that regard. I think having a physical item for gold is wayyy more flavorful.
You could have items that match the coins in the Harry Potter universe (and their exchange rates) or something like this:
1 gold nugget = 1g
1 gold bar = 64g
1 gold block = 4096g
This way people can keep all of their gold in their inventory (or echest) without it being too much of a pain.
I personally love the idea of having a physical currency instead of some generic /bal number.
This concept can also be extended to other forms of currency such as AC, Boo bucks (or other event currency) and voting tokens.
I would love to hear all of your opinions on this so please tell me!
