What's the inventory for?

What's the inventory for? I've bought a coke and a magazine, but I'm not sure why. Does it actually matter?

um, not really. at least i don't think it has to do with anything. i think it's just to show off that you have money. i mean, look at my inventory.

personally, i think we should be able to sell our things and get our money back. i think once we were going to have a contest to see who could get the nicest items, but it never happened.

There is no point for those items - just a bit of fun. If you want refunds just tell me.

And yeah, I agree that we should be able to get money back, and then maybe create rare DOTA related items that people buy off each other. But, that guy didn't code it in the shop, and I'm not clever enough, so we can't yet.

PS, check out my inventory Razz

(I bought the cars just before i got rid of all my points).

okey. well... Is there any reason for the bank? I mean, it would suggest that there COULD be an interest rate, but there isn't one....

I turned the bank intrest rate to 0% a while ago because people were just getting a few posts, putting their points in the bank, and coming back a few months later and having loads of points. So now I am trying to keep the points under control. I have to leave it open though because a few people left money in it, and there is no easy way to get it out.

i was just wondering: if we were to take all our money out of the bank, does our account go bye-bye?

No - the account stays, but if everyone did take their money out of the bank, then i would delete it.

So neither one actually serves any purpose? Ok... BTW, did you listen to my voice clip yet?

The bank used to serve a purpose, and the shop is just a bit of fun - oh, but the lottery serves a purpose.

Yeah. I listened to it slowed down. Sounds good. We'll see which characters suit you... which will take a while.

oh... that's cool. I sped it up as a joke, but if you listen to the end you can hear instructions on finding the REAL file, well, that's true. I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just said some stuff off the top of my head...

can you put interest on the bank cos there is no point in it at all as monkey_05_06 said. o yeah anybody with a lot of points please donate to me i only have a few and would really like to buy something Embarassed

Well, I used to have intrest rate in the bank, but like i said earlier, people would just get a few spam posts, put money in the bank, then leave and not have to do any work, then come back and have loads of points. It doesn't seem fair, becuase you just become richer and richer, and then there is nothing left you want in the shops, so the points become pointless Wink
