Use Classic Economics-while you still can!
|
I have some fairly simple code in the Classic system where, if you die, you lose 10% of your wealth, the dropped not to exceed 1000 gelats.
You could easily change it to 10%, with only 10 gralats being dropped.
Then every time anyone dies, the total cash on G2K1 drops considerably...a man with 1000 gralats is killed. He wakes up with 900 gralats, still feeling pretty good about life. His assassin gets a measly 10 gralats. The remaining 90? It goes under free parking. ^_~
Realistically though - money is meaningless because there's nothing lasting to buy with it. The same thing happens in the entire Zelda series after you buy the shovel, or the well fairy stops giving you extra bomb storage - then you reach 999 rupees and stay that way for the rest of the game.
Hey, there's an idea. Put a cap on gralats. After 1000 gralats, or 2000, or whatever you anticipate no auction to ever go over, anything you earn goes directly to "charity", a server variable that's divided evenly between the newbies or ETs or whatever.
Me, I just think it's kinda lame how the big activity on G2K1 is working. Classic's is PKing, so it's no better, but at least it's more interesting. =_= |
