The new micro-transatction currency is called "silver" apparently, if we're going to have such a lame system implemented couldn't we at least avoid the low hanging fruit and name it something interesting? We have shards and energy, all sorts of cool sounding sci-fi names yet they go with a generic mobile app currency name. Plus silver kind of implies that there is another tier of premium cash, in a lot of games silver is the free currency and gold is the premium, it's just a terrible name if you ask me. If we're going to get bent over at least make it pleasing to the ear, right? I mean come on, add some kind of prefix to it. Make it "shimmering silver" or "golden age glimmer" anything but silver.

-
Shame bucks
-
Cayde bucks.
-

-

-
It won't be "lame" when your spending it all on my emotes
-
Warframe?
-
Silver will be the valuable currency of the future. That is why
-
I'm guessing because it's in low supply from the collapse of the golden age, it is more valuable now. Plus, IMO, the names you suggested sound very exaggerated and annoying.

Livers

"Glimmer" is pretty bad. In my opinion, "silver" is a slight step up from that.
-
Ikr. Silver sounds so corny and sounds like it was ripped off a base building app or some shit.
-
Space silver
-

Edited by terra mystix: 10/6/2015 12:08:48 AM"Silver" is a term used for coin in pirate times "Eververse Trading Company" - similar to the 'British East India Company' and the fictional East Indian Trading Company (Pirates of the Caribbean) It makes sense to use silver for currency when a company like ETC is introduced
-
Hahaha true. Bump
-
"Luke smiths wage "
-
We have a space traveling god orb, resurrecting space zombies that fight for the defense of mankind, racing hover bikes, space ships capable of achieving near light speeds, physical data money, and a Swiss Army talking orb that just had a voice change.... And you are concerned over the name of the currency that will bless us with dance moves?

Because glimmer is such good name lol
