Commas

Maybe I'm dumb, I've always been mathematically challenged. But whenever I @ws an item and try to gauge the price, I hover my mouse over the numbers, and count the zeroes, 1..2...3. I hold my mouse there and look at the rest of the number, and somehow after a good while of squinting and bringing my face towards the screen, I can tell the price. Perhaps I just need to get used to "eyeballing" the prices and being able to know if something is a 1,000,000; a 10,000,000; ect. just by seeing the general "size" of the number.

It may be impossible, I have absolutely no grasp on how coding works, but if it is possible (and hopefully relatively easy, I don't want to ask too much). Can commas be implemented to the prices displayed in the chat box when you @ws something? (The other day I thought a Raydric card was only 2.3m, I was so happy! ...For a while.)

Sorry

It's not too big of a deal, I've been able to get by so far, but sometimes I give up on trying to read the chat box and spend a few minutes in Prontera /where-ing my way to the shop at the top of the list to see the price for myself.

RE: Commas

I've always had to count the zeroes too, and I'd enjoy this change.

Short answer: It is possible.

RE: Commas

Yea I've even had the problem of trying to eyeball it and then choosing the higher price to realize I wasted money.

RE: Commas

The color of the price is kind of an indicator, but it's not much of one

RE: Commas

I always have to literally put my finger on the screen over the price and uncover the zeroes one by one to figure it out. I would love commas!
