Server has been reset, and it already needs another reset?
 

What in the ****. I log on 2k1 (bomy moon) tonight, and there's a ton of people on. Within minutes I find out that some houses and bomies have already been auctioned. What are you guys thinking? Jobs are exactly the same, except now you get less money from them, and you're already making certain players rich by auctioning off rare things like houses and bomies on the first day.

You should have waited at least 5-7 days before starting auctions, that way people could have at least prepared and tried to save up money.

I can't but help feel a little sarcasm coming on.
You mean i had to lose my bomy and stuff just
so they could reset it and make someone else
richer than me? </sarcasm>

I think I'm the only one who actually agrees with you Koni.
It's not fair-as it is now the only ones who can afford bomies and such are staff and other high ranking people.
It doesn't give the rest of us a chance.
I mean most people I see either don't even have a sword yet or just got one.
And these people have frikkin bomies and houses!
I opt for a reset! Let's do it fair before it gets too messed up.

The early bird gets the worm, AND the second mouse gets the cheese. I think it'll work.

No reseting again would screw it. Only 2 phs were auctioned and the rent is like 150+ a week...I doubt anyone can afford to maintain that for long and bomies..well...there's 100s of them, I say auction off like 25% of the bomies now =/

High Staff people?

like 2% of the staff own a bomy, and there isn't a staffer who owns a house.

The house auctions were fair. We bought ours for 150g... or around 19 pies.

Everyone had a fair oppertunity to gain money and auction their money, or they could've done what I did... join funds with a friend to buy a house.

Think of it like a Stock Market. When the business is starting off, you invest your money into it. When it grows, you sell your investments and gain more money.

So GBM is a new server so you invest a small ammount into a house and/or bomy, so when GBM grows... you can spend that investment.

beat me to it, you can't blame it on staff saying we have more money, we aren't allowed to give ourselves free stuff (unless we're testing something), I bet I probably have less money and items than you.

As CheeToS said, we're more busy working on the server than working for money. So don't blame it on us.

Don't blame it on anybody. It's not the fault of people who work (I have 424g) that we are able to buy playerhouses and bomies. I myself have been working ever since the reset. If you don't want to work hard for that initial investment, you shouldn't make it at all. The economy reset was to balance out the economy, and I think it's done a very good job of that by lowering all of the prices. While some things aren't going as good as they could of, or as smoothly, I think that the reset was a very educated idea and that this server (Graal Bomy Moon) is slowly becoming very nice to play again.

Two staff apart from Police/FAQ/ET/Auctioneer have bomies, for your information Konidias.

Cloud Strife, who paid a pretty penny to get it (secondhand, as I recall)

Me, and I have to have one since I am oftentimes messing with the script.



Why I started the auctions so soon is simple. To give people something to work for.

I also have to agree with Jeff here. There's nothing wrong with people having to work for bomies, staff or not. Everyone should have a fair opportunity. Last night Ghost Pirate got back his old bomy because of public donations. I thought that was fine. You can make exceptions for certain players if all of the players there agree, but you can't just give everyone their old bomies back. I believe a while back someone posted a list of all the bomies and their respective accounts, and a lot of the accounts were inactive, so it was hard to get a bomy for all these new players who had a lot of money. The economy is coming out well, and if you don't like the auctions, well... you don't have to come, but just don't start crying a river later when you don't have a bomy and want one and there are none to be sold.

The early worm also gets eaten, and the early mouse also dies. :rolleyes:

I'm just upset that 2k1 finally gets reset and I can barely tell any difference from before. If you're going to reset, at least make some big changes or something. I lose all my stuff and now I have to work 100 times harder doing the same jobs I did over a year ago? Sounds... unfun.

Yeah well I heard Ghost Pirate already has 2 bomies too... :|

By the way, there was some dumb PKer with the account MrCharles who was constantly trying to kill me for a solid 15 minutes. He would follow me and say "die?" and I was like "no?". :(

Put up with MrCharles before. He likes to kill people because he lost all of his kills before. He sits in the unstick me place and traps you in, pretty much, though he'll deny it and starts killing you. He'll claim he'll let you go after one kill and never kill you again but he never does, so most of the time I just pause or leave the area when he's around.

Lol Farin rocks. I was gonna kill you when you unstuck, but I'm a little more nice.

As long as money doesn't go out of controll and prices rise to unbearble heights (Except for really rare stuff, like some 2-of-a-kind hats or somthing,)) the economy will stay OK.
