I'd also like to bring up a major factor and possible flaw of "money daemons" What about players who go offline for a year, or outright stop logging? They could have considerable funds in their accounts that are still being counted into the flow of cash, even though they are not contributing in any way. While it's not fair to punish other people because Mr Moneybags is taking a vacation (to the bahamas no doubt), it's also not fair to penalize players who maybe got in an accident and can't log in for a year, but their gold is still being counted in the flow of money, no? It seems like it would be a bit odd to only count the money of people online, or people who have logged in the past week.
