2. I really don't think it's possible to have a finite money economy. Aside from problem number one... you also have to take into consideration the fact that not everyone who obtains money on your server is going to play forever. So if people leave, what happens to that money? It's sitting dormant in an inactive account. That money is essentially being taken from your finite resources and never being returned. Eventually that means there will be little to no money on the server.

These are all interesting points, and perhaps I stated them wrong. I was thinking more along the lines of controlled amounts of money as opposed to a complete free-for-all. However you make an interesting point and I may just stick with the regular method but have checks and balances to keep the economy from getting too inflated.
