    Soooooooooooooooo Yesterday evening was another time I forgot to add a digit to an item in my store. I have been selling 30% Shield Matk for 2m each, Star Rocks for 1m each before beside many more cases I just deny the occurence of. Beside me I also know many others that have made this mistake such as my friend selling a 6/5 BWG for 160m. Luckily in a lot of cases this amazing community is kind enough to revert trades like happened with the last one.

    Yesterday I sold a clean 8 INT YSS for 96m in my store. I contacted the buyer, asking if he would be kind enough to revert the trade.
    While I was writing the sentence that I would pay him 200m to revert the trade.
    He logged off....

    So yes, obviously I should pay more attention. As I tell myself every time, but appearently I am just not able to do that consistently.

    One of the best QoL I have ever seen in an MMO was from OSRS. In any case of having to fill out a quantity, I can just write 69k, 420m, 2b, and this just simply works. Never have I heared of someone making a mistake with total number of digits in that game.

    This would be great for other me and potentially other adhd-brains in this community.


    Also, why can I even put in other symbols than numbers if they are not allowed in the first place
    Yes, in OSRS you can only put in K, M, B beside numbers. Typing other symbols will just not be added to the text box.

    Also if I have only 31415926 GP in my inventory and fill in that I want to drop 9999999999 GP. It just simply drops the largest amount possible, without an integer error (since osrs is also limited by the (2^31)-1 integer limit). It's very nice.

    Thank you.

    I think programatically this is pretty complicated to implement in relation to the expected benefit. Maple already color codes the total meso amount so that should tip you off already, and give you time to change it before making the items open to the public.

    Fair point. Allthough I disagree that it should be difficult to implement, with the limited knowledge I have of programming I don't see how this can be difficult at all. If you play OSRS for like 2 days, you can experience how much QoL this is. Allthough I have no idea about programming for Royals.

    Also on the color coding. I never noticed before, so thank you for pointing that out. On a side note I am going to make another subtle hint with the other post I made before.

    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/color-blindness-accesability.213091/#post-1270090

    I just checked it with my store and the color coding of orange to pink is hard for me to distinguish from another. Wich is the 10m, 100m and 1b range.

    The color coding in this game is really not working for me. From my end it's about. Purple, also purple, slightly less purple, about the same purple and slightly more purple.
    The different filters I have tried are also not working, since I do not need the purple to be more purple and the other purple to be slightly less purple (or all purple to be about the same grey). I need purple, yellow, green color coding.

    I feel as though the same clerical errors can be made with adding k/m/b variants. I have mispriced items regularly and I know it's because i'm not paying attention fully or in a rush. Slowing yourself down even 15 seconds is enough to view your items before you open your shop to make sure you didn't make a mistake.

    Unless it's incredibly easy for our developers to add this I don't think it would be worth the time
