RP/Economy balance idea and human/bomy balance idea

Much will have to change on Bomy Moon, for things to remain the same.

First, I'll explain my human/bomy balance idea.

Bomys, as you know, have a huge advantage in both combat and money.

In order to even this out a bit, both combat and pearl diving will have to change.

For combat, Bomys should have only a 50HP advantage, instead of a 100HP advantage, and the bomy kick should do an equal amount of damage as the human sword, instead of 2HP more damage.

For the economy, pearl diving would have to change. The idea behind coloured pearls was to make mining and pearl diving equally profitable. However, when I made coloured pearls crafted gold could be obtained from monsters in the dungeons. This is no longer the case. Because of this, it has become harder to make money mining. So it should become harder to make money pearl diving as well. The system should be changed to...

2 Pink Pearls = 1g
3 Black Pearls = 1g
5 White Pearls = 1g

That, of course, can be changed if needed.

For RPing/Economy balance...

I think that RPing and the economy should be totally and completely seperated, possibly going as far as having different developmental staff for each. The idea behind this is that someone who wants only to RP can eventually become leader of a kingdom while still being flat out broke. And someone with no interest in RPing can play economy-only and not need to worry about RPing having any effect. To do this, I've made a map which highlights places that should be RPing-only (Red) and economy-only (Blue), and attached it to this post.

In RP-ing only areas, the use of the word "playerrupees" should have absolutely no existence in any scripts within the zones. Not in bars, not in special "buy a ticket" NPCs, nowhere. Kingdom funds would also need to be removed, they were essentially useless anyways, and they were introduced in order to remove money from the economy, which is no longer required. Also, the apple-tree growing areas should be removed from Dustari, and the mining areas removed from Orc.

In economy-only areas, RPing should not happen. The purpose of this is obvious, to prevent Karakaze and similar from scamming/rock stealing and claiming that they were "only RPing". Santerrain is an obvious exception, as it is unavoidable that RPing events take place there, the only thing that should be done is to disallow any changes to levels/NPCs in Santerrain as a result of RP events.
