Hey gang, so here is the thought I've had rattling around in my head for awhile. How can we make a viable and well used economy that is both fair to everyone and worth using? I've come up with what I think might be a solution but I'd like to hear others.
Aandolin's Plan for a Viable and Vibrant Economy:
Step 1. Money needs a reset. I think almost everyone that has a huge amount of money on this server used the /sell function before it was changed not that long ago. Unlike the original incarnation of the resource world, which was at first exactly how Ben intended it; The /sell function I've heard him sayhe before (if I'm not mistaken) he never intended to be used the way it was. All of that said, I know its not fair to just take that money away from those who earned it, even if it was in a way not intended. I propose compensating them in some way, how should be up for debate.
Step 2. Creation of both a large Bank of Nova near spawn, and a large shopping complex a little ways from the spawn. Here me out on this one. The Bank of Nova starts out with all of the money except for perhaps a small amount everyone receives from the get go. (Based on how many hours you've logged maybe?) The Bank of Nova (henceforth referred to as the BoV) will buy certain items each week to stimulate the economy. Prices would be based on supply and demand as shown by the transactions in The Shopping Complex where any player can set up a shop and sell or buy whatever they want.
Step 2.1 The creation of someone or a team of people teamed The Banker/s. They set the prices in the BoV. If they are good enough at fiance maybe they could even offer loans and such. Who knows, If ben or moe wanted to do this awesome, if not because of time issues maybe applications for the position?
Step 3. Profit. Adjust the system as is needed.
Would love to hear your feedback ladies and gents.
