Sneaky Admin is Sneaky: Gold Scam

Day 1,151, 12:36 Published in USA Canada by Emperor Rick

Notice how all the prices & wages have plummeted across the eplanet?



It's not so surprising due to the massive increase in supplies in all sectors. Admin recently added the ability for company managers to work in all of their companies. This dramatically increased the goods in the market which heavily outweigh demand for these products. As a result prices have decreased, and since companies are no longer receiving the profit they once attained - they had to drop wages as well.

Now let's look at the price of gold...

In the US its gone from 55USD to 60USD.

Which doesn't sound like much, but the dollar is no longer worth what it was due to deflation. Making gold much more valuable then it was previously.

Why?

Now that gold is more valuable e-citizens will be more tempted to purchase gold with IRL $$$

This is a scam to increase eRepublik's revenue.




EDIT - Q & A:

Bezaban aske😛 So, should I cash out my gold nao or something?
You're supposed to provide a solution to the problem. Derp.

A: Personally id hold onto your gold. There is no reassurance what will happen next so I can't give any advice on this matter. ADMIN surely wants to kill the game with all of these drastic changes.

Economy means managing scarce resources. When all resources become unlimited economy goes into exponential growth. The only scarce resources that are left in this game are GOLD and wellness recovery limit.

Admin is trying to kill the game.
