The Price of Divine Power

Recently, Tang Yu noticed something.

Within the Omnipotent God discussion forum, there were many posts appearing that sought to purchase Divine Power.

Clicking into the discussion section, one out of every ten posts was an offer to buy Divine Power.

[Fire Wolf Alliance, long-term high-price purchase of Divine Power. For pricing, join the group and private message. Group number: XXX]

[Glacier Alliance, long-term purchase of Divine Power. We guarantee the highest price on the entire web. Those wanting to sell Divine Power, join the group and private message the admin.]

[Buying Divine Power at 220:1. Everyone, sell quickly before the price drops! I'm buying everything!]

Tang Yu was not at all surprised by the reason for the influx of posts looking to buy Divine Power.

More and more gaming clubs and wealthy players were entering Omnipotent God, constantly driving up the exchange rate between Divine Power and real-world currency.

These players looking to acquire Divine Power all wanted to gain a developmental advantage in the early stages.

This was especially true for the major gaming clubs.

After experiencing the game's content, they could imagine what the future of Omnipotent God would look like.

It was no exaggeration to call it humanity's Second World.

Furthermore, since Omnipotent God was still in its early development phase, it was full of business opportunities. By seizing the chance, one might catch the trend and become a pioneer of this new era.

Therefore, they were willing to spend heavily on early-stage development and had prepared their budgets in advance.

At first, it was fine; tempted by the high purchase prices, many players sold the Divine Power they had accumulated from mining to these gaming clubs and wealthy players.

However, as certain players began to stir the pot, the player base gradually became unwilling to sell their Divine Power.

In particular, a post published by the well-known high-level player "Don't Touch Me" made players realize that selling Divine Power right now was an extremely unwise choice.

[Many posts about buying Divine Power have appeared in the forum recently. I'd like to share my thoughts here.]

Original Poster: Don't Touch Me

Content:

I was among the first batch of players to play Omnipotent God, and I have witnessed the change in the exchange rate between Divine Power and cash firsthand, so I'm here to give everyone a heads-up.

I remember clearly that the initial exchange rate was around 1:100. Now, less than a month later, the price has already climbed to over 1:200.

I think many players have this idea:

They feel that as their strength grows, resource output will increase, and the production of Divine Power will rise accordingly. Eventually, it will overflow, so they think it's wise to sell their Divine Power for cash while the price is still skyrocketing.

A friend I play with thought the same thing at the time. He planned to sell his accumulated Divine Power and buy it back with cash once the price dropped, effectively pocketing the difference.

I decisively stopped him from doing so.

Because I believe the current price of Divine Power is at a low point, not a high one, and it is far from stabilizing.

Why do I dare say this? Here are ten analytical points.

First: The number of Omnipotent God players is still in a period of rapid growth, so a surplus of Divine Power is currently impossible. Among the newcomers joining every day, there are certainly plenty of wealthy players willing to spend money to accelerate their growth; their arrival will only accelerate the appreciation of Divine Power.

Second: As player strength increases and resource output rises, the resulting increase in Divine Power acquisition will not lead to devaluation. Subsequent unit summoning and training are essentially bottomless pits. Additionally, the consumption required for personal strength, cultivation techniques, and equipment is also massive, so Divine Power will always be in short supply; a surplus is simply impossible.

Third: There is no recharge channel in Omnipotent God, which ensures that Divine Power production relies solely on resource exchange. Since players don't even have enough Divine Power for their own needs, how could a surplus ever occur?

Based on the above points, I boldly predict that the price of Divine Power will continue to rise.

Finally, let me predict what the price will be once it stabilizes.

My estimate is: 600:1.

This prediction is for reference only, as many factors influence the price of Divine Power.

For example, if Wonder Studio suddenly introduces a "recharge channel" and acts as the house to harvest the leeks (funny.jpg).

This possibility still exists; after all, Wonder Studio needs to eat too. It's unrealistic for it to remain free forever, and creating this game must have cost a huge amount of capital that needs to be recouped.

However, I still hope Wonder Studio chooses a different way to make money, such as a subscription model or a one-time purchase, so that it doesn't disrupt the game's balance.

If Wonder Studio is stubborn enough not to introduce a pay-to-win feature, then I estimate the price of Divine Power will definitely exceed 1000:1.

So, do you understand whether you should sell your Divine Power now?

The post published by Don't Touch Me sparked widespread discussion in the forum.

Some players expressed different views on his points, but more players voiced their agreement.

"I agree with the OP's points, but I don't agree that the price will rise to 600:1. That's too expensive. I think 200:1 is the stable price."

"It's the 24th century, is 600:1 really that expensive? I think the OP actually lowballed it. In my opinion, 1000:1 is normal. I've always been a free-to-play player in other games, but in Omnipotent God, I've actually considered spending money to get stronger. And I'm not a rich person in real life. If even a penny-pincher like me has thoughts of spending money, I think there are definitely many players who want to pay to win. The price of Divine Power will continue to rise. Everyone, hold on to it, don't sell!"

"Holy crap, after hearing your analysis, I realized I sold 100 Divine Power earlier. I lost so much money!"

"Why didn't the OP post this earlier? I regret selling my Divine Power so much now. To the guy who bought my Divine Power, can you pay me the difference? (crying.jpg)"

"Only fools sell Divine Power. Isn't it better to use it to train units or hoard it to buy cultivation techniques? Once you're strong, won't it be easier to earn Divine Power? Besides, the early stage is the most important phase of development. Were the players who sold their Divine Power kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"You're all right, but I'm still choosing to keep selling Divine Power. I'm unemployed, and right now I rely on Omnipotent God to earn cash. After all, game pod maintenance, nutrient solution consumption, and the like all cost money. If I don't sell Divine Power, am I supposed to drink the northwest wind? But I'm only selling a quarter of the Divine Power I earn. As long as I grind a bit, I think I should be able to keep up with the growth of the main force!"

"Damn, I've been getting scammed so hard. Do you guys know the Blood Wolf Alliance? Their boss, Blood Wolf, is a rich guy. He's hiring game employees for 50,000 a month in real life, and he's recruited about 30 people so far. I'm one of them. At the time, I thought this boss was just a rich idiot for paying us to play games and even covering room and board. Our job every day was just to enter the game and mine, handing over all the resources to Blood Wolf. Now that I've read your post, I realize I'm the real idiot. Working for him isn't as good as going solo. These rich people are so damn cunning!"

Shortly after Don't Touch Me posted his thread.

Major clubs, gaming studios, and wealthy players quickly discovered that the amount of Divine Power available for purchase had plummeted.

In response, they had no choice but to helplessly raise the price they were offering for Divine Power.

However, the response remained lukewarm; Divine Power was still difficult to acquire.

Clearly, after reading the post published by Don't Touch Me, the players had all become much sharper.

They gritted their teeth in hatred toward the player "Don't Touch Me" for ruining their development plans, yet they were completely helpless to do anything about it.
