At my mud, Aethar.com, me and some of the other big immortals have discussed how to create an economy without completely wiping all the gold, etc. that everyone has right now and starting over. Right now gold is worth next to nothing because it is so plentiful. We have a "market" system where people can buy properties that will produce daily incomes in the millions.
Now we're trying to make our world into more than just a hack n' slash mud, and we feel that one way to do this would be to add more to the economy.
While we could destroy all the gold that everyone already has, I was wondering if any of you had some better ideas on how to do this.
Also, what sorts of things make a good economy? Maybe skills(blacksmithing, runemaking, etc.) that cost a lot to do? Something else? We have some talented coders on our mud, but we need some ideas of what to ask them to do. Post if you have some ideas please.
