Game economy (Poll)

[Danny696]

Just wondering what economy you like best when you play a game

Thanks Danny696

i think its more on the game its self i don't mind a game with lots of 0's on there money but if they ever need to reset due to it i leave resets kill games so as long as its not a false economy your fine

[Dayo]

i like my games to be based on Real Life so a lower economy is a MUST for me

look at games like unforgivenwar.com a high economy just kills the game, i use to play it back in beta (when it was just default mccodes with a free header) and played it ALOT (12H a day :S) it just got to the point of giving 1 Billion to a newb for the fun of it and TBH it killed the game in my eyes i prefer games wghere you startwith a few dollars eg $50 then have to work your way up (so $10000 would actuly be good like in RL)

[danger boy]

I totally agree with Dayo... I think it should be based on real life.

[Haunted Dawg]

I voted.

Players have hundreds (1)

And that is how i aim to create DeadlyKillah, hard working life just like Real life :P

[Dominion]

i feel the point of games is to get away from the stress of life if i wanted to have no money and worry about paying bills i would spend my real money...

[Djkanna]

Yeah, I don't care so much about the economy of games as long as there is always something that I just cannot afford, having everything isn't fun.

The only thing that is weird is the games that give you $100 to start with but the first weapon you can buy is like $15000 that makes me thing users are going to get bored real quick.

[Equinox]

I said thousands - but that's what I'd allow. So a couple of users may have millions, and so on. So it's a little bit like real life.

I mean, when is an energy drink going to cost $15,000 and when does a "Steyr Aug" cost $150,000?

Steyr's can range from $2,000 - $10,000.

It's just really keeping it real, for me....

[Zero-Affect]

gah i said millions like a newb didn't read down i thought it would be in ASC order not DESC lol

but yeah hundreds would be a better economy.

[Danny696]

Hmm, it seems like most people like the game economy the way the real one is :)

[Dayo]

what f***ed? :P

[Dominion]

you can't keep a game's money in the 100's sorry but even 100,000 is hard theres always someone (not that i do it :rolleyes: ) that never spends money then give out crap to new players

[Dayo]

you can ie the best crime only gets $35 the worst gets $0.5 (i did have a edited source somewhere that would alow even $0.01 ^^ )

[rulerofzu]

Its all relative.

In zu for example there is many ways you can earn a bundle which is why I chose billions in the poll. However some shop items will strip you of a large amount of cash. To complete quests will also do the same.

I could have done this to run with 100's or 1000's but i chose a large amount of cash as the players like it.

"look at my bank ive got a few billion!!"

[Haunted Dawg]

But, you wan't player's to strive for a billion, not just have it easy!

[Dominion]

i think the thing is with people creating game they forget what its like to be the player i am sorry but if i had 100 on your game my money goes no were and i can't get anything more via donating i will leave plain and simple btw dj is right a game with $100 start and 1st weapon at 1500 i don't enjoy

 

@ hd - yes you do but the player wanted money not some low bank account with nothing in thing about it no money = no fun

[Haunted Dawg]

Thus, give your player's $1,000 starting cash and some item's in their inventory, will get them going! :P

[Dayo]

Yea the good old starter pack along with 3 donator days, they will be like putty in your hands :P

an ecomomy with billions and millions is ok ... if you have to work for it, it gets bad when it only takes you a week to get a million :thumbdown:

I used to play a few text based games, and overall, i preferred games with a "middle" economy, with some people rich and some poor, but the rich ones worked for their money
