What's Next?

The economy reset is bugging me a bit.

People have grinded hard and spent to get their money over the years, I know people say it’s “easy” to get it back, but that’s only if you can spend hours a day contrafarming, it took me years to build what I’ve gotten and it’s not even that good when compared to others lol.

I’m conscious this could backfire massively, some people won’t want to go through that again so will push them away further knowing they’re coming back to their hard work being wiped out.

I do agree that there are very fine margins in doing such a big change, however, I do also believe that it is a risk that has to be taken in order to revitalise aspects of the gamemode not directly linked to RPs. To get people on the server, we really need to offer player goals and things to work for, and that is nigh on impossible with the current economy, due to the mass amounts of money that have flooded in through various badly planned changes, exploits, etc. 

What we hope is that once the updates planned for the economy have been rolled out, there will be more incentive to play when there isn't much RP going on, raising numbers, and therefore creating more RP opportunities, both passive and aggressive, in a somewhat upwards spiral. 

Once we do this, we will have to monitor and be ready to proactively make changes to nerf or buff aspects of the economy, to ensure that nothing is too hard or too easy, and it will take a time to reach a completely stable state, but we hope that this update will help achieve a better platform to make money actually worth spending time to get.

I hope that somewhat made sense!
