Question

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting to a forum

 

What I would like to know is, since the economy itself will be mostly player driven:

 

1a. Will there be a unlimited amount of currency in circulation in the game; or will developers have a starting cap (for example: 1trillion dollars) from which the player pledges will receive $1000-4000 at start based on the package purchased, and as the game progresses, your are rewarded with cash based on jobs completed. if it is the latter when the game amassed a multitude of players will more currency be injected in the game.

 

1b.If a player runs out of cash is there  a loan system in place at the banks or will a player be at the mercy and whim of other players or his/her credit card? Will prices of items be controlled by an in-game system with inflation auto calculated as time progresses; or controlled by players?

 

2a.Will there be a set amount of each item that is created by developers (for example cars, bikes, etc.), and will there be a cap on the amount of items that can be created by players (for example: a limit of 1mil tons of drugs, or 1 mil tons of agricultural produce, 1 mil units of shirts, shoes, etc.) considering that items in the game will take up physical space in game. Will the value of items in the game be subjected to inflation due to the demand?

 

2b. Are there measures in place to prevent one player or a group of players from totally monopolizing a certain aspect of the game  and thus controlling prices; or is it that the prices of goods will be controlled by an in-game system of some sort?

 

3. Will the food or objects in-game that is created by players/developers be subjected to decay? for example, does food decay in game; or once  it is produced  it becomes immortal in your inventory?

 

*** these questions may have been asked and answered by i cannot seem to find it

no loan system/ no "Borrowing" money on a credit car... There will be a debit card but if you have $0 in the bank then you have $0.....

Some of both.

No, there won't be a set amount and nor will they be taking up physical space in the case of millions. 

No there won't be the set amount of drugs/ cap on how many if you have the resources. You will have a cap on how much at a time but not a cap on how much you can make in the long run. Inventory space etc will have a cap and things but amounts not really.

There will be prices based from NPC owned store which will have prices already set etc and the player run stores would have to work around the NPC store prices to get the right price and customers/ players giving them a lot of business by going there instead. There will likely be a set price cap and so that it can't go too high in price for the items.

Food likely won't decay because this is not a survival game.

Food in the NPC shops have an unlimited amount, player shops likely will not have unlimited.
