Hotel Business Auction

[Freudian_slip]

What Frankie fails to realize is it's not all abotu saving the economy. If we did it your way, all the businesses would be NPC ran because they remove money from the economy. You remove a entire aspect from the game that players enjoy. What Angel is doing is making a more economy friendly business that removes more money from businesses than they previously do. Also, it's still removing money from the economy in more forums than buying the palce which you fail to realize. If the rent and bills are enough, they themselves will remove money, as well as any taxes put into place on the business.

It may not remove all the money, but it takes money out of the economy never the less while giving an entire new concept to player ran businesses. Also, even if they do "make that money back" that they paid to get the business, it's still money down the hole and the monthly fees, and the money made is from OTHER players so it's money that was already in the economy anyway.

As long as the taxes, bills and rent are well balanced, it will still do a lot better job than businesses do currently at removing money.

I think that the main concern people have when bringing up the additions to the current server (pre-reset) is the fact that it is going to bring probable future problems. I'll explain what I mean by this a little more clearly.

When you're playing on a game -- no matter what the platform is -- the gameplay is much more satisfying when you play the game by yourself. Once you take the route of using something like in-built cheats, gamesharks, patches and the like then going back to regular gaming, it just doesn't feel the same. For example, you're playing The Sims and you've typed "klapaucius" so much that you've made a three story house with all the top furnishings avaliable, never need to work, and nothing is standing in your way. To then go back and playing The Sims once you've had access to all of those luxuries isn't as fun. The same concept applies to these releases that you're producing as short term entertainment.

Releasing content that could be released after the reset is going to lose its appeal once the server is reset, especially when players have easier access to the content features now. The content that you release to the current server is most likely going to be way harder to access and not as avaliable when the server is reset. Players are going from something that they can have to something that they've got to work for and this is not fun. In addition to this players are going to be looking for a lot of additional content when the server is reset.

I agree with what has been said, and while I realise you need to be entertaining the current playerbase on the current server, you should probably be saving the new content for the "new" Era.

***** Angel lol DH,Squirt,Katbot favoritism Joe account Joe78
so ya there still is thank you lol

Era hotel has been there for a while now its not new, but if you mean in general, yeah some things shouldnt be released, but from reading the ideas that the other staff want to put into play and such, i dont think boredom will be an issue. Everyone is putting in great ideas, and i am actually really excited to see how it turns out

im not bitter, it just hurt the server and continues to hurt the server, no one wants to slave for hours or days saving when someone is given much more in seconds. don't get me wrong you and your team are showing progress by at least listening and responding to the players opinions, sadly we don't know if they are being considered.

businesses don't have to be NPC ran but IMO they shouldn't be money making machines where the owner racks up thousands of dollars.

I agree 100 times over. I want people to enjoy running the business and serving a purpose to the game.
I'm making plans for improvements to era that'll limit the money coming in and out while still making it fun.

give more items, of equal quality to NPC shops, it will take money out of the economy instead of granting player businesses a monopoly and putting it all in the pockets of a select few.

I didn't bother to read all of the posts.

I don't know why we keep feeding into the "rich" economy so much. Somebody will buy the business, and sell it for a profit or regain the amount of money by selling their products. The only thing you're doing is benefiting a single player. You're doing nothing for the economy -- keep that in mind.

I think it is a horrible idea to auction of this big of a thing. Yes its going to bring More then maybe 5mil out of economy but, its gonna come back. I think it should be NPC.

[papajchris]

[papajchris]

[Freudian_slip]

I think Era is a breading ground fro communists, rofl.

[zim5354]

honestly a hotel doesn't really need a player owner, not many people will use it anyway if any. when its first released they will but after that no one, might as well make it npc for a novelty.
