Thanks for responding Teallen. I totally get your concern.
It looks like you've been a member since March, meaning you've made around $17,500 just from the auto income. Take a look at your money now. If you have more, then it looks like you really did do well in the SW economy somehow. If you have less, then you didn't really make your fortune through being active in the economy.
It's true that any money made right now will be going to waste, but again, how much is that really? You will, however, at least have been building up a customer base.
Like I mentioned in the thread, the amount of gold you have now should be roughly proportional to the amount of time you've spend in SW. So when this takes effect, you'll still be richer than the new players. One could argue that if the economy is as dead as I say it is, then your current money balance is an even better figure of appropriate wealth, as the auto income gives everyone the same amount of money over time. The issue with that is some players have large amounts of money.... again mostly made in MW or from the auto income from before SW started.
To be honest, since the "cost" of everything is pretty much doubling, the current inequalities in wealth from MW should be evened out over time. With that in mind, I wouldn't be too bothered if the admins decided give people their old money when the economy splits. I would just prefer the fresh start we had with everything else in SW.
