Interest

Day 721, 15:53 • Published in Indonesia USA • by Mike Schmittson

A recent wave of proposals/suggestions has got me thinking: what else could possibly make this game better? Then I realized something so simple that I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this before: interest.

Having interest on all accounts would make this game a little bit more realistic. Just like in real life, accounts would have interest compounded at the end of each day. It would make things easier for players (especially business owners) to gain money, keeping businesses afloat and making it more affordable for soldiers to wage war. This would also make it a little easier to fund Lieutenant Sheisskopf's idea.

This is my idea of how it would work:
-All local currency accounts will have 1% interest compounded at 00:00, eRepublik time.
-All Gold accounts will have 0.5% interest compounded at 00:00, eRepublik time.
-Interest would be applied to living citizens, organizations, and national treasuries.
-Interest would not apply to accounts held by dead/banned citizens, as their assets are frozen.

As I said earlier, this is just my idea. I think it would be a good economic addition to the New World.
