Hi there, just to clear it up. All items are going to be refunded apart from legacy items (Such as the BMW, Jaguar E-Type, Trabant, etc.)
You will get 60% of the market value, 10% more than if you were to quicksell
The FL economy has been totally left for dead, there have been many factors that have essentially led to this being the case, which we will be working to balance or remove. Income sources need reworking, as well as special bonus periods (Christmas presents dropped at few hundred million into the economy, more than money packs have in the past 2 years actually). We will be working to kill off money packs, be it completely, or replacing them with a suitable alternative that does not flood the economy in the same way. A replacement would be good for the longevity of the server in terms of costs associated with running, paying devs, etc, and so we'll explore options and see if this is at all feasible.
Items will be lost, and I appreciate there's 14 years of history behind some inventories, however this is a chance to create an environment that rewards people fairly for putting in time, and "grinding", whilst generally fixing a lot of the unbalance that is there already. If it is more rewarding to work on making money, it means that more people should then have a goal even if population is low at a time, and then it helps build the server population for RP to then take place.
It's a lot about balancing the books on the in-game economy, and allowing us to rework some of the sources and drains of money, and hopefully some of the content around that.
