yes, because inflation isn't driven by increased prices, it's caused by people willing to pay said prices.

He also plans to cap the price that a player can list a given item for in the auction house.

In academic circles, I believe it's called talking out of one's ass.

Have you atleast suggested the idea of money sinks?

I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

[nenjin]

Things for players to pour in-game cash into, to remove it from the in-game economy and prevent inflation.

Player housing, cosmetic upgrades, paying for skills with in-game cash, death penalties applied to your cash....all of these are effectively money sinks to remove currency from the economy on a constant basis.

So, I guess there's some truth to Bartlett's claim that Kickstarter removed Your World from their search index. I at least, can't find his project using the search.

Money dissapears into nowhere.
You know fallout 3? At some towns there is a beggar that asks you for water, if you give it to him, it just dissapears, so it could be called a money sink, but with water.

In wurm, for example, holding a deed is a money sink.

maybe finished projects that didn't reach funding are removed?

No, I went back in the thread, found some failed projects, and was able to successfully search for their pages.

Given BB's demonstrable people skills....I'm guessing he told Kickstarter to go fuck themselves and they responded in kind.

   Huh, the actual forum seems to be allergic to web proxies. I don't particularly want this manchild anywhere near my IP and I was able to proxy the setup a new account page. Anyone got a web proxy that works or any suggestions on a non-web based one that is easy to setup and get rid of that works on that forum?

The problem with money sinks is that you have to balance them with your money sources.

Second Life had a huge inflation issue and added some minor sinks (we're talking 1-2%) and cut out a small segment of source (again like 5%, tops).

Nope :\

[Draco18s]

Draco, how did you find 'Your World' on the search thingy? I actually cannot find it anywhere.

Huh, it's not showing up now.

CURIOUS.

CONSPTHIRACY!

Your World one-on-one PVP fights are going to be a 2d fight game. Think of Street Fighter style game. Once the players have selected to fight they will be place in a 2d platform to battle it out.

What.

Still waiting for the part where he tells us the core gameplay will be a full VR sim and the equipment will ship free with your purchase.
