XOXO

probably too late for economy stabilization. I have seen this issue coming from a mile away, and informed Rednim about it, including a temporary fix. The ticket alone took a month before getting a very stereotype reply. and to this day(another month passed since), there aren't any signs of fixes or band-aids. Zulies circulating are genuine. Zulies in the server are the build-up of everyone's desire to refine and buy gears. The increased purchasing power of players due to <<<<>>>> made it possible. about nerfed zulie quests: Chewed Bone nerf did slow things down, but In-need-of-repairs quest bug fix didn't actually nerf the zulie flow. It made things worse cause people became desperate and found an alternative / faster / easier way. *my thoughts about how zulie value went trash* In every MMO, there comes a period where game currency follows iRL currency, so when the exchange rates go to an equilibrium, the ones punished for it are the f2p players left farming in-game currencies for gears. How? let's make the infamous Lisent U an example. Sources of the best refine materials and rare gears being held by one group makes the zulie accumulation easy. therefore, zulies funneled in this manner makes the zulie-material cycle fast, and exclusive. If this 'group' then makes an RMT trade(selling zulie), they would beat other zulie sellers, cause they have the luxury of selling zulies at a lower rate due to having the exclusivity of re-accumulating zulies again, in a fast manner. this makes them the go-to of zulie buyers. so if another zulie seller wants to make profit, they would then be forced to put on a lower rate than before, just to sell. then here comes the 'group' again with a new batch of freshly accumulated zulies, gonna be sold on a lower rate so it would be sold fast. this cycle and competition to sell zulie continues on. and as the value of zulie lowers, prices in-game increase as it's the way to make up for reaching the 'equilibrium' value. take note that this can happen on any in-game item, as long as it is needed by the players. this insight came from my experience of playing a ton of MMO's as a f2p player, and observation(haki). kinda sad that Rednim thought it was just being the Lisent U's alone, buffing Turak just makes it more exclusive to end-game farmers. LOL

I've mentioned this before cause it may be a way to salvage what can be saved, and could serve as an invitation to new Visitors, but then one of the staff accused me of spreading fake news. She even said that my high hopes for a server wipe (another accusation) drove me into saying such lmfao. I've played a lot of MMO's, I've seen them rise and fall, and at the current state of the game, It's hard to say until when "nostalgia" is worth people's time.
