You're neglecting the fact that our ingame economy is quite different than the real world economy. In the real world - lets pick U.S. for the sake of the arguement - the main currency is the dollar and it's numbers in terms of quantity is increasing every year thanks to the government and U.S. treasury. Meaning a constant increase in the amount of dollars out there and also a constant inflation that's due to supply and demand. However, the dollar has kept it's value within the society for decades and that's because the major bankers have refused to flood the economy with their money and thus creating a huge bubble over the dollar's true value which is about to burst atm., but that's beside the point here. The point is the number of dollars circulating around the world is in constant increase; however, the number of coupons - which is the main currency in ForsakenRO - IS NOT. The reason is mainly due to the fact that in the real world dollar is traded and never lost/destroyed/etc. but in our economy the coupons are completely diminished once a purchase is made via a f.king NPC. For example, If the total numbr of coupons circulating around the server was exactly
100,000 and I was in possession of one hundred donation coupons, and I'd decide to buy a Mix B belt from the NPC. By the time the transaction is done the number of coupons circulating around the server would reduce to 99,900. That's what seperates our ingame economy from the real world's economy and that's why your example and Sard's suggstion falls short from being even remotely tangible as a plausible responce to the server's current nonexistent "economic crisis." It's nonexistent because the major guild's leaders who are holding the castles are in possession of the castle drops and are maintaining a monopoly over them. Meaning they've turned into huge cash cows - not so different from the major bankrs - and are already achieving your goal without your knowledge at a far more rapid pace than what Sard had suggested. Implementing more coupon eating NPCs would result in an all time low market value for coupons in terms of zeny. You'd see donation coupons being sold for 10 million zeny and thus, it'd result in more zeny bots circulating around the server, more problems for you to solve, etc..
No comment. :laugh:
I explained the reasoning behind that rapid change. However, there's anoher major issue that I do not wish to raise here which helped with the zeny's added value.
