Re:Database “sharding” came from Ultima Online? (2009) by imtringued on Monday June 08, 2020 @06:31PM (#23461532)
There are some MMOs that only allow players to trade with premium currency. It's a pretty neat idea because it means everyone can get access to cash shop items. It also avoids currency inflation problems because the currency isn't created out of thin air by killing monsters, selling items to NPCs or completing quests.
