The Era Problem

[Venom_Fish]

A reset is unnecessary as of this moment, since the players are more engaged in the game than ever. However, this engagement only arose from the collapse of the old economic regime to one where attaining an adequate or beyond weapon is a seamless process.

As has always been the case, see Jenn/Snk era, whenever players are able to easily attain items and incentives (gang points, event coins, guns, etc), they will have a blast and then there will be a steady decline in pleasure, eventually leading to absolute boredom. As such, I do not think it necessary, but prudent, that the staff team begin constructing a plan in case such boredom develops.

In the past, the crux of the plan has been to reset and return to the old economic (burdensome) regime. Once players hate it, flood the economy with the same incentives that led to its breakdown, then do it all over again. Right now, we're in the early stages of flood the economy. If we want to get out of this cycle, I think now is a good time to start devising a strategy.

However, I, myself, am not sure we want to (lol). It seems to work just fine, and has kept us entertained for quite awhile, why ruin the fun? Meh, let's just keep rolling and when the time comes where everyone is bored because there's nothing to gain in the game, let's then address the question of a reset or other alternatives. For now, let's not worry where there's fun. It's not like this is a real economy and real lives are at stake.
