So, with all the features being taken out of our real shop, and put into a ingame shop of sorts for 15k/usd. I got that. What I don't get is the price. Everything thus far is run on supply and demand. And taking away the ability to buy from players, takes away the demand, and everything falls apart. And by falling apart, I mean a monopoly. And last time I checked, that shreks economies. The price can be set to whatever the f the person in charge feels. Why would we jack everything up to 15k/usd? Why can we not simulate the old supply and demand curve and keep them 6 or 7k/usd? With demand taken out of the equation, heck could break loose. And I think it has. 15k/usd is a ridiculous figure. I think it should change.
I am well aware that nothing has happened yet, but we all know this will happen and can still be changed. If this happens, it is like nothing has changed really. Except you pay the sever and not other players. Unfortunate loss, but I think this will make a good consensus.

I think 15k/usd is a good starting point.

I think that this has some interesting, albeit flawed, points.

Lets be honestly 15k was most likely picked so people would panic and stock up on features before eula and while it is an ok starting point it will hopefully end up being lowered to around 10k-12k/usd

Andrew revealed earlier today he has an idea for a booster. Upon one $14.99 purchase, features would drop from 15k/USD to 7.5k/USD for one hour. He also has plenty of good ideas for other boosters for SG, McMMO, and the like.
Honestly, I think 15k is gonna be reasonable stemming from the fact that the booster andrew is proposing will probably when people buy most of their features anyway.
Much like 2014, let's ride the wave and see where it puts us on the beach. If it needs an edit, so be it! Easy config fixin's.-

No idea what I did wrong in the above post :p Sorry lol

How about giving andrew the benefit of the doubt that he might actually know what he is doing? :p
If we would pay attention to the information he is sharing with us, we will see that with the "booster", that number now comes down to 7.5k (way to little imho). Since there are many of us that will continue to support the server, do not be surprised to see the number actually going up.-

I already brought up boosters. Many many users don't have funds to buy boosters. That's why the donation market was so big. I can't buy a booster for 15-20 usd. So I would have to pay someone else, then buy the i game feature. A lot of people would end up paying the full 15k/usd.

andrewkm said: ↑It will be 15k/usd. Booster available for 50% off. Yes boosters will be used, people will easily get others to pay them ECD so the person buys a booster.
I can almost gaurantee it will be used several times a week.
People will pool together to give the person buying the booster EcoDollars, and then suddenly all features 7.5k/USD. ;)Click to expand... -

Ok. Guess I'll stuff money in a sign and save it for when a booster comes around.
