Well, since we are on the subject of games:

I don't think gaming is the cause of all this inflation, true there is more gold, and true the forums are less active, but it's the users that set the prices, and decide to inflate things, not the games.

And there aren't that many CI sellers anymore because people think it's their right since they have so much gold, to hoard!!

It's our fault! Not the games!
And those games that came out were specifically said not to have a cap on them.
Caps will not deflate the items either, it's up to us as well.

I personally use the games mostly as a way to fund my quest, and to save for future events.

Though I do understand why most of you want a cap, I just can't understand how you all will take that cap, and deflate ALL the items that were inflated when more gold was brought into the community.

While I agree that the games aren't totally to blame for the recent inflation, you can't really deny that they are a huge contributing factor. Without the extra gold, we couldn't have possibly inflated prices to the point of where they currently stand.

A gold cap may or may not aid in deflation but it will definitely decrease the rate of inflation.

As for the idea about admins selling CI sets for gold, I'm 99% sure that will never happen. XD They'd be losing $$$ over it.

Items won't deflate much because users know that that amount was paid for before by others and will demand that amount. The gold is still in the system, the items won't deflate much because someone will always have the gold to buy it unless it's fed to the commons store.

Though I'm pretty sure people could find a good argument to what I said above...

But would you rather have the CIs getting more and more expensive and less CIs showing up, more hoarders and people drowning in more gold than they know what to do with? I'd rather give up my greediness of selling an item for a desired high price and have deflated items than a continued fucked up economy. because when one item deflates, they technically should ALL deflate.

Sorry clamp, but it's human nature to be greedy and have everything you want and to be on top. THAT is the truth it's not our fault or the games fault. That's why there are rules to everything to keep us in line. The games need rules and boundaries because we obviously don't know when to stop. o___O

There is plans to do some sort of cap on the games. We're not sure what just yet.. Unfortunately, there is a bunch of broken stuff Ken has to look at before he'll have a chance to look into writing code to cap the games.

wish: Wow, I never really thought of that. Good point. <3
And it's true about human nature, but humans have a brain as well, and I know MOST of us on mene are intelligent enough to stop after a certain point, though some are not.

I never make much gold from those games, mainly because I suck at them. But I also just don't post much.

If there is going to be a cap, let it be on the amount of gold we can make (like Wish said), and not the times we can play.

Wow, I don't change my opinion easily, but wish really persuaded me!

And I agree Vela, a cap on the gold would be better like wish said.

Keep in mind not everyone is spending all the gold they make playing games on CI's and EI's. I spent almost 4k just buying stuff from the stores.

Not everyone, but quite a substantial amount are using their money to pick up some CIs and EIs. Other than the event wings earned by buds, I don't think commons have as much impact on the economy.

I agree with wish. 500-1000 seems like a reasonable cap to me, and capping the number of times a person can play would be horrible for games like snake. Limits on gold are much more reasonable.

@Naeru - 50g is the max anyone can get from a game. For those that are good at whatever they choose, they can get 500g from just 10 plays.

Intoxicate: It would be horrible for some games, that is very true.
And isn't the only game you can get 50 on in one time tetris?
I usually pick snake as my main money making game, and I can only make 10 each time.

Melissa: Same here. I think the commons are more prettier than EIs and CIs anyway.

I'm like Clamp. I only earn 10g a play on snake but even with that you can earn a lot if you play a lot.

I agree with Wish. There should be a cap on the gold earned not on the plays.

Intoxicate- ah, I see thanks ^^
*goes to try again*

Seems like snake is the most popular game to play...

don't forget the sellback store. when people earn commons from the event, they can sell it back for more gold (which is technically free gold)

Naeru: There is no sellback store.

And actually tetris is more popular from what I have seen.
I can't even earn 1 gold on it. *is very bad at tetris*

No, it hasn't been here since the software switch, though Juru is buying back 3 commons a day if you want to sell to her.

The sellback store was gone after the port. It still needs to be coded in.

Prices go up. XD It happens.

The reason the prices on the current CIs has gone up is less due to the games, and more due to there being few sellers. Now, I will say that it's possible that people have been making so much gold from games that they feel like they don't need to sell CIs to get gold, so games could still be a cause. However, there being more gold is not the reason the current month's CIs have gone up.


You can get 50 goldin one play from all of the games. Tetris is just the easiest to reach it in.

I think the most I made from a single play in any game was 28g from Space Invaders.

And that was only that low because I killed my self off due to boredom. >.<''

Yep. Just got 8g from Tetris. If I had the money to donate this month, I would be selling off my sets at 500g, which is what they should be while in stores.

2.50 US dollars should be 250g here. That is how it has been for... a year! Since this site started, I think that was the selling amounts.
