[2023] Gold Market Purchase Fee set to 0%

Hello everyone,

With today’s patch release we decided to set the Gold market purchase fee introduced in August to 0% on both Albion East and West.

This means buying Gold from other players no longer has additional costs associated with it (apart from the fixed 10s order fee it always had).

There’s two reasons for this:

• The fee didn’t stop margin trading, the margins just moved further apart
  
• The fee doesn’t seem to have a significant effect on the price of premium (the introduction of new silver sinks in Wild Blood on the other hand seems to have pushed the price down quite a bit)
  

Obviously we’ll be observing the impact of this change and take other actions if the outcome isn’t as we expected.

Happy trading,

Eltharyon
