[Enjin Archive] A new world
Started by [E] hunter9340

Ok, due to the fact that minetowns main-world's economy has gone to h**l i propose that we start up a new world ( keeping the current one ) that has the 1.2 world generator, and everything that the current world has excluding credits ( since credits ruined the current world's economy by people selling diamond for like 40 cred's ) BUT you cant transfer anything over from the main world to the new world or the new world to the main world, and since running 2 worlds each with a lot of people, we get moderator's for the new world. I know doing all this might be a task, but our amazing dev team will be able to pull it off!

Yeah but...the economy is fine. You can buy the same amount of stuff with a diamond as before.

but the price of diamond has gone down, due to the fact you can buy say 64 for 1300 credits at some shops which is little more then voting at all the site's so you can see what i mean
The value of diamonds has remained constant. If it had changed you wouldnt be able to buy as much with a diamond as you could before, which is not the case. The only thing that has changed is the value of credits. Now if people start charging more gold/diamonds for things, then you can talk about the value of diamonds, but again, this isnt the case.
*sigh* for three months people have been making these pointless threads. The ONLY reason diamonds are sold for so few credits is because people want your credits. Why do they want your credits? Because they want to buy spawners. Yes, they are taking a loss right now. However, spawners generate infinite income (when looking at infinite time). So, in reality, they will eventually make a profit. It's a smart idea from them, so long as they have the resources to keep selling at such a low price. Once they run out of diamonds to sell, prices will start going back up. Trust me, that's how the economy works.

As Fettuccini said, hard currency prices have NOT changed, therefore there is no problem with the economy in game.

I see no issue with anything related to the economy. If you want to buy diamonds at a higher price, I sell diamonds at 100 MTC. /<object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object> I won't be reducing my price either, as my store is supposed to reflect the old Candyland, and prices will never change there (although I have the cheapest dirt too, haha).

There is one issue, though. People try to out buy each other, which is being stopped by many people working together to create steady prices. However, you can't create a "steady" price of MTC to diamonds due to the fact that people have desires for things you can only buy with MTC.
new world? mean new map? in that case, I'll suggest we have new world, and connect to existing world to bring our stuffs....
We already have a new world being made, which will be installed upon the server cluster of doom being completed. It should be done in the next couple weeks or sooner (according to the last update). MTC will still be used there, worlds will be connected and you can bring stuff between places.
