The Economy

[Antonio.]

When I joined I litteraly worked my ass of, when I reached 70k I felt so happy because it actually took time to get it. Now you don't have to do nothing and can expect that money in your pocket at any time cause change of scripts= change of peoples' attitudes.

Yes, I can't agree any more.

I FELT EPIC when I earned some money, I seriously feel upset today talking about it, not being able to feel that again.

Not just because it was money, but because money = gateway for RP.

With money you could hire a bodyguard, driver, bribe cops , etc.


right now I make money easily, and lose it quickly.

When I don't have money, I cant do /ad Argonath RPG CoastGuard. Ready when you are. use /rescue.

The ad alone makes so much rp opportunities.

Which is why I always supported a time limit for it opposed to the monetary restriction.

As for the economy, I don't believe it's existent here as a whole economy.

True fact,

We used to save cash to buy expensive cars, and have fun with unique vehicles with meant not the cash you paid but how much you worked and maybe your experience...

I'd vote for putting sports cars' value up to 700k+...

i support this but i doubt this will ever happen.

I think the current sistem is fine..... All what i see in this topic is changes changes and changes,  not only 1 sayed that you could acctually use you're money on making some Role play activites.....  And preferable something else than a huge bank robbery.
  Srsly on what money some ppl have this days you can hire some members and make an original RP.... The ideea, well you think about it and what do you want to do... its you're money....

 Or try to use the public services more often.... like :
            - taxi - if you're just joy riding in the city, try and take the cab...  Can drivers need to eat too, no ?
            - paramedic - if you're injuried and not really in a hurry to get heal,  then call a paramedic and Role play the scene ... etc

  On that way money will be used to pay the players who participate at certain role play's and hopefully the economy will be kept alive.
 Atm the economy is low because some certain players prefear to buy and sell expensive cars, and all that money gets lost on the state,   then rather give that money to some players and have some real fun.

 Instead of buying a 70k car, and sell it after 1 week because you get bored of it.... then its the best you invest that money in a good role play... Atleast you will know a player will be happy to get some $$ and spend them on what he wants.



Just think about it guys..... But are the scripts really the problem ?

The economy got destroyed with the release of the vehicle update.  There is no economy now, money means nothing on Argonath anymore - it's easy to burn and easy to get back.

BINGO.

The "economy" might be dead because players only count on things scripted-buyable. You people should make up more imaginary things, so the money flows more from player to player - and I mean not only sell things, BUY them!

That's one of the main problems, no one wants to buy non-scripted items. If something does get scripted, anything else from that category will not be sold, "because it's not scripted". Take drugs for example - since we have weed and heroin, no one will buy cocaine, because "it's not scripted", "they have to add that to the script". And it has to do something as well.

The other I mentioned a lot of times before, game-play dependence on money.

Main problems are:
1. Scripted objects make a too big difference, resulting in game-play degradation when a player has limited funds
2. Players are addicted to scripted items and do not use imaginary items & services

Fix those two and you'll have both - more RP and a better economy.


Maybe there should be a Black Tuesday/Black Monday event where all players' accounts get reset to $10000 and prices for every item get revaluated. Of course the richer player, the more moaning about "omg lost all my cash and respect ....". But if stats were reset from time to time, maybe players would stop caring about them that much and start spending money.

[Brainiac]

Haha, its fine for you because your richer than Jesus, you own an ammunation for god sakes...

yeah, and guys like me should spend they're money with the players, not with the scripts, buying / selling cars, weapons ... etc...
Now im not saying that "do not buy a car"  or "do  not buy weapons "  ..... Buy them.... but buy something usefull and what you really need....
Dont just buy a car to get fancy and then sell it after 3 days because you had enough.... thats just waste of money .... And that money you're wasting away it can be added to someone else pocket, who really needs them.

And for the million times..... the ammunition belongs to the White Shadows Clan.... its not mine personal ammunition !!

Well i think the challenge is ruined by how it goes now. Players have different goals to play for, For example: Stats / RP.
I've played a long time to earn the money. Sad to see it is all been given away now by so many Lotto's.

[criminal_scum]

whats about this economy?

[Lorenzo.]

I'm just playing for the RP, I'll need some money to increase the RP but i don't care what car system...

I see the point there, and I agree, as I have a full garage of Fender custom guitars IG( Bought them by various people).
About the monday/tuesday, I don't know where do you get there, as you said yourself(just underlined/bold the BINGO! part of your post)
Care for statistics and money never stops.
