Economy wipe?

[evilsquirrel]

Alright, after a few posts in the beta thread - i decided to seperate this idea into its own thread.

Basicly, right now - all the decent items in shops are severely overpriced (25k for a potion...no.)

This is because many players have rediculous ammounts of money, obtained through the use of glitches and selling certain items in previous versions of the game.

I propose that there be a "money wipe" it would work as follows:

Thothie (or other person with the code) would make a standalone program to lower the money reserves of the char files. Since this would no doubt hurt new players saving for knight armor, how about a limiter?

If (moneyz > 5000 )
moneyz = 5000;

_______________

This could be tested on a seperate server (NOT FN) to make sure everything is stable before the real one happens.

I like
If(moneyz < 5000)
moneyz = 5000

Agreed.

Though I am really quite poor compared to most people my level (24-25ish). I only have about 2k gold or less if I remember correctly. Yes, it's all spent on relocation spheres and rum

 

[Littlefrodo]

Yea
Not everyone got 25k +++++++

Stop making threads about stuff I may or may not be able to do.

I'd have to fix the world economy, before I started stripping people of cash, or it'd be rather pointless.

I *think* I can actually leave a flag on people's characters as to weather or not they've had their gold wiped, so restoring wouldn't help them. But again, needs to wait until the world economy is less exploitable, then we can discuss an economy reset.

...wait until the world economy is less exploitable, then we can discuss an economy reset.

Exploitable? How so? The ones who fight the most monsters (high level guys) get the most gold, that's how it basically works (foutpost = $$$$$$ from all them trolls)

 

[Thothie]

Well, I obviously can't tell you "how so" - Just take my word for it.... Not everyone who has a billion+ gold was here during the early days of super-sploit gold.

( Granted, I realize why the original team made that mistake - sell price goes by percent [ie. 1-100%] while buy price goes through ratio [ie. 0.01-1.0]... Nutty coders fuxing with the scriptors mind. )
