I believe the basic items are priced about as they should be, but items like rares should be increased a lot and put into the game less often, so I chose the second option.

With such a vast array of items it would be unjust to simply increase or decrease all prices. I am afraid the simple answer cannot be answered with the options listed.

My question is, if the prices are changed according to your poll up there, either higher or lower, how will it affect our gold in the bank? Will it be increased or decreased as well? Or will it stay the same? Reason I'm asking is that if prices are lowered, and our gold stays the same, all of a sudden a whole lot of people can now afford a whole lot of stuff. It also would make it much easier for these rich folks to keep buying up all the items and hoarding as they do, no offense to anyone. Dunno, was just a thought.

*Edit* On the other side of the coin, if the prices are increased a ton, and gold stays the same, then 90% of the server will become a bunch of broke bitches, excuse my language, and rage even more about the economy. What say you, Dylan?!

Of course some items need a different way of being handled that the others. But for now, I'm not looking at 'special' cases, just the general view. We'll get to that after this, but thanks for putting that out.

Well obviously your gold stack WILL change. If the prices lower, so will your gold stack. Of course, we don't just take it from you, we will decrease the total amount of coins in the game slowly until we have reached a point that is in line with the current prices. The same thing counts when the prices go up. We will add more cash to the game in the same way until we get the desired goal.

And how will this fix anything?

It all dependa really.

I mean, I wouldn't want you to just change the prices and let things fall or raise after you change them. You should change things before and let the economy work itself out. If people decide they want lower prices they'll sell things cheaper and vice versa.

All I can say is fix them.

I'm not an economist, and so I won't pretend to be. But you need to figure out what the implications of changing the prices will do. Every scenario will predict a different outcome. You need to find one that is best for the economy, not for the community.

The community will be sided.. between those who want to gain more money from the items they currently hold, to those who want to lower the prices so it's easier for them to obtain.

What is Pkhonors objective as a whole? What type of server do you guys want to run? One that people want to play? One that creates long-term community members? so on and so forth.

Keep sight of what you guys have set out to achieve.
