Is the Economy Failing? (A Discussion)

[ThatOneGuy4205]

To be honest there is an exponential amount of space on the server where more plots/houses could be regioned and built, I just don't know why nothing has been done about them by now as that would definitely bring inflation down. On another note, if it wasn't for players massively raising the prices of houses then I dont think the inflation problem would actually be a problem

There is a demand of well priced houses. Sell a house for a reasonable price and it sells in 1 hour eas.

Idc if there's 4 pages of reselling, that's for existing houses and stuff, I meant like brand new houses and stuff

Not sure why everyone is like "adding islands devalues (!) current islands!!!!! oh no! BAD!!!" when that is literally the whole point.

Islands are worth wayyy too much because there is a limited supply. If the supply increases, the worth decreases. We need to devalue islands because it's simply crazy how much one costs. For example, sundae bought bunny for 3.75m in July 2017. One year later, it would now be worth at the very least 15m. That's 4 times its original value. Even plot values haven't reached that high yet.

The people against adding islands either 1) own an island and want to maintain its exorbitant value just to brag and be "elite" or 2) keep spouting nonsense about how it would be unfair for those island owners that paid a lot of money for their islands, only to have its worth decrease. That's called sacrifice for the greater good. Everyone wants to fix the economy, but doesn't want to put work in or give up anything. That's why the problem has progressed enough for multiple posts about the same issue.

No wonder staff doesn't do anything about the economy, it's because if they did, they would be ridiculed and insulted by people who think they understand the economy better than them.

I mean you could add islands or add more land to existing ones, whatever works

where’s the roast

why are you creating drama all the time

I'm willing to bet that most people who are leaving are doing so out of boredom. Sure, some newer players have quit because of lag, and a few players have been permanently banned. But I know of at least 20 players who have gone inactive because they're bored.

There's tons of stuff to do on this server, but you can only visit each warp, PvP, build, or do a job for so long. After a year, doing the same thing every day gets boring. There's nothing to "fix" because people will eventually get bored no matter what.

Some temporary solutions would be to add or improve more server warps, which is being done (library, campground, mall, etc.). Even island improvements would help, like what's being added to Runnerboro and Bunny. Another would be to add more plugins, which would cause more lag and drive new players away. I guess some less-popular plugins could be removed to make room for new ones, though.

What if there were different quests maybe or such, that players could do to not get so bored ?

On a different post about this, I spoke about a money reset and have no qualms about it, in theory. But I agree with Jazz. The server would lose a lot of players.

yeah, I feel like people misunderstood me lmao, i was speaking about bringing down inflation but it would keep people's status (the rich would still be rich, the poor still poor.

And yeah, @Ignite is one of them.

 

[ThatOneGuy4205]

The most I've got from mining was about 400k but I still do it bc apparently not enough people are actually buying houses as a result of inflation

eh, I dont want to get involved but heres what I'm seeing rn:

1: 100% people would like change
-- 50% have ideas
-- 50% don't have ideas but still want change
2: People arguing over how to go about change

Honestly, this is an all talk no show at this point, which means nothing is actually getting done from sitting here Imo. the only way this would be changed is if we go to kiri or coban and ask for change, these threads only promote awareness in the community.
