Chapter 87
”So, tell me what you know about DCO so far.” James hadn't been expecting a question from Rue. Especially since the pixie had just said she would tell him about dungeon wars. However, he knew from what was nearly a month in immersion with her to just go along with it. Otherwise, they were going to be getting nowhere.
”Other than it being a secret experiment of some sort by the government and the asshat Xander?” James shared in the smirk the comment brought to Rue's face. After all, there really wasn't much the developer could do to them right now. Considering he was knowingly pitting his overpowered gamer kids against James and Rue. Jackass.
”Yes, other than that.” Rue sat back in a summoned chair, lightly sipping a hot cocoa.
”Well, DCO splits the player base into instances limited at 10,000 players or less. In my case, that is my town. In other cases, like large cities, they are sectioned off into grids or blocks for the player base. That means a large city can have multiple instances for all of its players.”
”Go on.”
”Hmm. Because of how DCO is structured, the game has the potential to effect the real-world economy for each instance's base.” James had already seen as much in his town's reddit. Players were trading gold and equipment for V coins, and the conglomerate that had built the Adventurer's Hall had also begun setting up an exchange. Some players had taken to simply accepting gathering or training type quests from that exchange and were making a decent amount of V Coin from what James could tell. What some players lacked in skill, they made up for in money, it would seem.
”That is correct.” Rue took a sip. ”However, it goes deeper than that.”
”How so?”

”From what I've found out. The developers intended on ways to open instances to each other, allowing the economies of the towns to become linked to other towns and cities. As such, it would almost become an incentive for players of an instance to excel, and push deeper into their dungeon, in order to capitalize on the goods and services they can provide to any adventurer's visiting their instance from another.”
”So, I'm guessing like rare or unique items from one instance could fetch a high price from other players in other instances.” It made sense. James knew just how competitive and lucrative the rare item market could become. And given what he had seen of all the different types of dungeons out there, he was sure there was going to be a flood of unique items to fill the market.
