You start out with a sword. In fact, you can't attack with your fists at all.

Dunno what you mean by "easier". If you mean can you become wealthy in a day, then no. If you mean will there be more ways to make money, then yes.

Will bomy pets still be around?
Yes. They will be a combination of the old scriptable bomy pets and the bomy pets that you could feed and ride.

I honestly couldn't tell you. I thought I'd be finished months ago, but it's really not possible to give a good release estimate... I can only hope that it's before this summer... if we don't run into a bunch of problems or go short on staff.

36,000 tiles an hour, and yes... except you have to actually stand up at home and do it.

I didn't really feel like making a thread about it but I had an interesting idea. When 2k1 first came out there were no free jobs. You had to beg someone with money or win an event before you could start one of the other jobs (fishing/mining/farming)

I suggest that the 'free' jobs be disabled or made to cost something.

It took forever for the first person to gain 1k the first time it was released, over a month. And the only person with 10k before the 'free' jobs were released was IceP(r)ick.

It'd be nice to have the economy balanced like that again instead of like the last release where people had over 1k in the first 2 days.

So you want to give the winners of events the power to control the economy? Pretty unfair I think. That wouldn't be a solution to the problem...

if there are enough events right away the problem will solve itself, as it did right when it came out.

Or you can enable the NPC that gave everyone 30 gralats at the start again and then let them choose what to spend it on.

Yep. But not as a bomy player.

Like mentioned above, I don't really think that's a solution to the problem that you brought up. Eventually everyone would have the supplies to do all the jobs, so all that would be doing is slowing everyone down a week and then after that week everyone would be making way too much money again.

All I can say is that I'm going to do everything I can to make sure the economy is more balanced so that measures don't have to be taken after the server is released.

Since gralats are now based off US currency, it's easy for me to calculate how much money a person should earn doing a graal job. I also will calculate "living expenses", since obviously if you made the equivalent of $6.50 in gralats every hour and you didn't have to pay for food or rent or anything, you'd be wealthy in no time. This is why the economy has failed so much in the past.

Just don't make it so you have to make money in order to fully play the game. And lots of it too... :/

Dude, he looks like he wants to give me a reach around. He's wearing make-up, and he is a guy... That shouldn't be allowed. I wish he came to a city around me so I could whack him up-side the head.

I can't promise that, lol. Obviously you have to make money in order to buy certain tools or whatever... Unless someone is nice enough to give them to you.

I'm trying to make the jobs as fun as possible and have other ways of obtaining items/money. Really you'll just have to wait and see for yourself. I promise I will try not to make this server boring or repetitive in any way. (except rock jail, rock jail must be boring and repetitive.
