I proposed a 'currency buy-back' which would circulate more gold and bring the cost of gold down; most people just brushed it off as something that wouldn't work. The price of gold in AUD rises every day, this partially stems from game design but also partially from the running of the economy, the problem doesn't persist in such extremes in a lot of countries.

The reason why this is happening is because the admins are trying to encourage more people to buy more paysafe cards and spend more rl money into this game. I mean it's much easier instead of exchanging 250 AUD for 1 gold buying 2 gold for only 1 euro or 1$ Godd article by the way.

Under Sav's approach we worked to have a weak currency because it helps our exports, thus increasing the economy of the country.

Every country I checked, the exchange rate is over 200:1, except the eUS which is at 190:1.

Back in the days when exchange rates could be controlled by the gov and rates varied between some countries by 50-100% then using liquidity and import tax rates to improve competitiveness in the global market was a valid idea. Things are different now, especially with manager work where many established players are more or less self-sufficient.

So what your saying is it is impossible to fix the problem?

Without a lot of changes to in-game functions, yeah its probably not gonna be fixed.

The admins want gold to be hard to get so people are forced to buy it with real money.

The gold price is too damn high!

Dead right......

As has been said, through a combination of admin game changes, in combination with past problems that have produced more currency in circulation (PTO, thefts, etc), and with the number of speculators that would be on our market, it's basically impossible to fix the problem without someone doing it out of their pocket, and nobody is particularly willing, for good reason, to take that fall.

It's no so bad now because now governments have to spend what they actually make in income taxes. There is no more easy money printing which is exactly the disease which plagues our real life governments.

v30, Not Gold, but all currencies in the world are decreasing!

Curse monetary desinflation!!

yet the training bonuses remain the same...

300g only cost $130 aud 😛

For $130 aud i can get TWO real games and have change left over for something good.

In fact... for $130 aud i can pay for 3 months of internet and download hundreds of real games better than this one

I pay $20 a month for unlimited downloads... That's split between all my brothers.
So I have plenty of *real* games 😃

gold is expensive everywere...i dont remember when it was but there was a point that all gold skyrocked to over 100 (insurt currency here) for 1 gold. I just quit worrying about it and said screw it...i get gold when i can from working and training and i put it to use the best i can.

If it is expensive, maybe it's time to sell it.

now, price is going down, i watch it all the time, yesterday or few days before price was about ~219 and now it is 199
so - if everybody have gold, than price is lower, if everybody needs gold, price is higher, its so simple
