Survival World Economy Proposal

[pigpenguin]

This one seems promising. http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/craftconomy/

Compatible with vault, BOSEconomy, and whatnot... I'll let you take a look haha.

That one is saying that it can convert from and replace BOSEconomy. You'd either run one or the other.

Since we can't have separate economies with BOSEconomy, but can with that plugin, can we use it to replace BOSEconomy in all worlds, while keeping the balances in MW the same and making a separate balance in SW? That or disable BOSE in SW, and bring that plugin in just for SW, but the other idea seems more elegant and probably less stressful for the server..... what am I saying though, I don't know anything about how stuff affects the server haha

So think seems like a good idea!!! How ever there are people who only play in SW and not the other servers (people like myself and Lololollipop1999) We are active in the community and economy. We make shops we buy from other peoples shops! If we only play in SW and not MW our old money we have gathered is going to waist. If we don't play on MW and all our money from the past is there and its just a waist what is the use of us buying and selling things at shops right now if all the money we are making is going to waist. I don't think that we should reset peoples money if they don't play on the other worlds of the server. I do think it is a good think to make a book explaining things when you get into SW. If you make one please contact me (probably leaving me mail in the game is the best way to get in contact with me) that way I can ask you to put things down that I have started throughout SW.

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.
