I feel like you’ve completely misjudged the issues of the servers and the longevity of this ‘solution’.
The key issues with FearlessRP is that development couldn’t keep up with player progress. That’s fine, it’s a small team of volunteers. Resetting things will NOT solve the issue.
Gary’s Mod is an old, dead game. Less and less people are playing it and there any enough new players to sustain the community. You need to be holding the existing players and trying to reintegrate old players back into the community, and effectively taking 90% of their hard work and grinding away from them isn’t a good way to do that. 2000 hours of grinding and hard work suddenly becomes 200….
You’ve completely misjudged your situation here and it’s obvious. You should try some professional consultation or at least friendly talks with other community owners to get advice. This isn’t a good solution, it’s a temporary solution to buy time for a permanent problem.
You follow through with this:
You’ll have a huge drop in the months prior to the change (because no one will bother playing if it’ll all be deleted).
The player base will very temporarily spike with the new economy.
Your current, established player base will then quickly disappear because they won’t want to grind all over again.
New players won’t come in fast enough because the game is in decline as a whole.
Eventually, you’ll run out of players and you’ll be forced to entrench or give up.
It’s not complicated guys. Someone’s clearly started their economics degree, tried to slay capitalism by taxing the rich on fearless and formatted it in the way of a mini-dissertation to make it seem clever. It’s not. Anyone with a business bone in their body knows this is a terrible idea. If you’re hellbent on going through with it, you need to consider:
A second/third currency which takes into account peoples grind before the reset, so people feel appreciated (perhaps being allowed to buy legacy items before the reset or by having a permanent 2nd/3rd currency which can be old net worth + any new net worth earned which can be used to purchase suits, special cars etc).
You need to make sure you fix your figures. Most people, whether they have 10,000,000 or 50,000,000will end up with around 1,000,000 after the changes. That’s laughable. You need to appreciate the time and effort people have put into grinding and keeping this server alive for you so far and make sure that’s reflected in your numbers because it certainly isn’t now.
After all that, you need to make sure you keep up with content. If you can’t keep up and people out-grind your speed (which they will), you’ll have just pissed off the community and pushed a lot of players away for nothing and you’ll still have the same key issue.
Side note: you reset the economy, the vast majority of the servers for the 6 months after the update will jusr contrawhore the entire time. Doesn’t sound very good to me…
