[ZaTiR]

What the game needs is an adequate penya sink. There's too much supply of penya into the game, and not enough coming out. Now, the Lord system could be used to good effect, if the taxes are moderately high, and all of the penya is spent on events for the server. Something else that worked very well in another mmo I play, in controlling the economy was a lottery. You would purchase tickets say, for perhaps 100k penya, and have a small chance of winning something worth massively more in value, but perhaps not something that would hand you too much of an advantage. A series of lesser value prizes are also available, so you don't feel it's a complete waste of money. If they had it working properly, it would get most people playing, and as a result slightly less penya floating around. The "rare" items also would be changed from time to time, to tempt those who had won the current rare already.
