Realistic Economy

[Tommo]

There was a suggestion a while ago, if I remember correctly, on a way to make the current economy seem more realistic, and it was down to moving the decimal point on all monetary points in the server.

It was a great suggestion, but I don't remember it getting traction, and I think It was a while ago so I would like to re-raise it.

So its basically you move the decimal one place to the left so that prices are more realistic.

Examples

If you have £5,000,000 in the bank, you would have £500,000
The price of powdered milk would go from £10 to £1
The price of a litre of petrol would go from £4 to £0.40
The price of a smoothie would go from £300 to £30 (still a bit crazy)
Supercar would go from £2,000,000 to £200,000

Pros - This would give a more realistic feel to the UK prices within the server
Cons - Dev Time and People getting used to the new pricing

Ehhh kinda a loss maker

2 cod are around £1050 if sold to bait n tackle
Then the other materials needed are if bought
£520
But you can gather all the other mats needed if you like

£1300 - 20% is £260 so you would make £10 more selling the cod to the shop I know it shouldnt be looked at this way but most people will look at it like this

I was just alluding to how expensive fish and chips are irl Sam.

I made that suggestion a good while ago, I still personally believe this would be a good thing to implement - depending on how much dev work would be needed

1A3 on the previous page explained it in a way that sounds like a lot of work
I'd rather we didn't do this for what it's worth.

'The people control the prices'

Ah no problem let me sell an item that costs £300 to make or buy for £3 because it makes more sense

 

[SteveStacy]

Yes.

The People control the pricing of a lot of things.

The People charge less for their goods.

There is just no way this could be sorted out in game.
