As someone who plays an administrative role in both economies, I can say with great confidence that Era's economy faces many more complex challenges than GK's economy.

I have several systems built into Graal Kingdoms economy designed to monitor their value and curb any potential inflation. That's not possible.

Let me be the first to say this very clearly - the revisions to the beginner tutorial should have been a clear message - I am
not focusing on older players at this time. Over the last few months we have created a number of avenues for our older players. Now I am focused on new players.

It's important to understand that all of this work is being done in preparation for the launch of Facebook access to Graal Kingdoms.

Graal Kingdoms was fuelled by two main components which culminated in Kingdom activity. The two main components were PKing and the Economy. PKing drove the economy as people levelled more in order to stay competitive. PKing also drove the market; people wanted a technical advantage over their adversaries.
The ultimate show of power was a strong (meaningful) position in a Kingdom.
Unfortunately Graal Kingdoms really began to decline during the mass exodus after monthly gold. This created a feedback loop through the key elements of GK.
People began to hoard valuable gear, making it nearly inaccessible to regular players. Players PKed less, especially with "friendly" additions which make the game more like a playground and less like a battle ground.
As the player count decreased the value of kingdoms decreased - we saw dynasties collapse and leadership roles became like a rotating door. You could mark the beginning of this as the departure of the Sagesun family from Kingdoms.
