...unless you have the RL cash to pony up or spam the hell out of your friends.
Here are the ways our world's gold supplies increase:
+1. Pay Up: Who has disposable income for this anymore?
+2. Invite friends and get paid 10% gold for it: Seriously, do they want to be as annoying as Farmville and all those other Zynga games on Facebook? I literally spent three hours deleting all those requests this morning.
+3. Treasure Maps: Given with all medals and level ups now. And, it is a jip! I liked it when we got 5 gold for each thing. Of all the treasure maps I got, all of them were less than 5 gold. Random, my ass! It sucks.
Here are ways that gold leaves our economy:
-1. Wellness packs: They have sucked gold out of our economy since the beginning of time.
-2. Organizational Fees: I'm grouping in here all the fees for creating companies and newspapers and upgrading the companies. These have been around for a while too.
-3. Government Activities: As a congressman, I was told that MPPs and battles cost gold to initiate. This sucks on our supply of gold as well.
-4. Boosters: Probably the worst category of them all. It basically sucks gold out of the game to give citizens the option of receiving a marginal benefit for whatever action they take. Is it even worth it?
So, to conclude, the flow of gold into and out of the game is greatly imbalanced. The gold supply will be destroyed if a new source of gold is not introduced or the boosters are removed.

income? 1.trade with valutes on MM (this is best)...2.trade with companies...3.run a company
Income doesn't increase the world's gold supply it just distributes it.

I want the old economy back.
Did you want there to be an overwhelming amount of gold inflation in this game or what would you like to see done?
I don't want gold inflation. What I am seeking is balance.
What I would like to see done is removal of the boosters, or some other methodology of getting gold without paying, spamming, or applying for ads.

The cost for companies and export licenses are also a large drain, especially since you can't donate raw material like in V1 (ive been told). I guess the admin wants us to fight like madmen over the little amount of gold... but isn't that just part of the fun 😛
Gold leaving the game should decrease, since the battle module was refined (remade). Also the food consumption will help tremendously in decreasing the use of wellness packs
Another note; global prices (for almost everything) are currently at their climax (the highest i've ever seen them). This means demand for gold will decrease (in theory). Thus, currencies all over the world have increased their values.
Overall, i believe the economy is picking up.
"The cost for companies and export licenses are also a large drain."
Absolutely true.. Licenses should be cheaper !! Or it would discourage export-import and mobility of goods.. The whole situation only make poor region like sipore become more fragile. It really hard to make some ex-im trading post here.
We should encourage other countries to replace GOLD with SGD. Look at it this way: our government is run by a reliable small group of people, we have no enemies, and people have no reason to attack us. We are, in fact, the ideal hard currency for storing wealth if they want to believe in us.

Well, that's interesting, but almost impossible, i guess..
But I agree with you in one thing. "We have no enemies, and people have no reason to attack us". As long as we stay neutral, we can serve as a trade hub between PHX and Eden. We just need to find a way to make it happen..
agreed
if we really could make that happen, our currency would sky-rocket in value, and our citizens would be a good deal richer. We would be able to make larger investments, and in theory, increase our income as a nation, our currency would go up in value even more, foreigners would buy out (and get rich), and our currency would still hold more value than it did previously. That's in theory.
Another case would be if our citizens invested the borrowed gold badly. Our currency would fall in value, foreigners would buy out (and lose money) and our currency would be left worse than before.
Or, no investment would be made, and nothing would be gained or lost.
Anyway, who really wants to invest in our unstable currency?
A trade hub between phnx and edn... Thats interesting. A trade hub for gold? Not produce, i'm guessing.
Even though I am a noob I can say this. Our economy is terrible. If we want to get better we have to take risks. Maybe some of the more economically savvy members of this country can write guides about where we should invest to keep our currency strong. TO me it seems like a very good idea.
