Default This looks like the Cypress banks idea of how to handle an economy.......

Trade restrictions - Not allowed to trade more than Xpp per day or more than 3 items per character per day, effective immediately [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bank run - Each Norrathian banker will only perform X transactions per day (and once per account maximum).

In at the deep end - X items are removed from your inventory upon logging in. To get them back you must travel to Erud's Crossing and hail Monala (kerrans at docks). Once a day.

Lowest unique bidder auction - run by Lucky the Beggar in Highkeep. Items for sale 24/7 (perhaps the ones unclaimed/removed), once per 8 hours. Winner is the one who trades the lowest amount of coin that nobody else traded...as a bid.

Pet Time - Everyone forced to look after a young puma or shadow wolf for 24 hours. It must not die, it must be fed/watered/walked once per Norrathian day. Failure to look after it costs the owner 10% of what their bank balance was upon logging in.

Stay Alert - At a random interval during the day, a popup will appear on the screen and start to deduct X platinum from your bank per second until you click "OK".

Kill Frenzy - PvP tags enabled in EC at a random interval during the day. Players may kill one other player and loot 5% of their coin (naked traders obvious targets). Highest yield from one player is then stripped from the "winner" and redistributed evenly amongst however many other players are in the zone. 2nd place and onwards get to keep their ill gotten gains.

High Tide - If it rains for more than an hour in EC, the zone fills with water up to the top of the EC tunnel. Anyone who drowns loses 10% of their coin.

...you get the idea. Could be fun, in varying degrees [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Default Solution

The solution in Everquest is clearly the same one that needs to be done in real life. I take economic advice from Regean -- we clearly need to make the top 1%, the job creators, of EQ wealthier so that those of us underneath can bathe in the golden -- errr, platinum shower.

The Solution is for every MMO to be wiped off the map forever so we can lead normal lives. I mean we have been at this for like 14 years?? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
