Angry Stressfull

I am starting to get irritated with 2001, we pay to play on a game where you have to work to get the most out of it!

Now I dont know about the rest of you but I think we should be payed for working not the other way round.

Now I know money rareity makes the server better but It takes ages just to get going! I think that each person should get a bit of money each week (say 20 or so) so that people can get going.

I think that this lack of money drives people away, I rarely play on 2k1 because I cant put up with people begging, asking for guild support and taking it so seiriosly.

I just think that making money a little less rare would be great.

But I knows its not gonna happen. Oh well on to working for hours for a hat gif to put on my "head"...

no i don't agree but i get irritated when admins (not naming any names zorro) give themselves 10K and buy bomys, when we have to farm or work our asses off just to buy 1.

I agree 100%

The economy in Graal makes it very difficult to make money. It takes too long to make money! It's that simple.

People slave away at baking or mining or fishing just to buy a few hats or something, and what do hats do? Not a whole hell of a lot. It's not worth it.

3 hours of work just to buy a few items that don't do jack.

This is why I do not play Graal 2001. I mostly just use the forum account.

I wish jobs would be more creative. Take mining for example. It has three parts to it which is good. You can choose to do one part one day and maybe craft the next day, make some gralats another day etc. If you combined the creativity of mining with a job that didn't require the pushing of the "d" button I would be happy

I think stefan should start charging a 5% tax on everyone on the 31st of a month(so if you carry around 1000 G you'll only lose 50 G,not alot) and the money from tax can be deleted to make money more rare or give it to the event team so they can hold events with money prizes.

Money will always be inequitably balanced, live with it.

If you don't like pressing buttons a lot... DON'T! Nobody needs to buy anything.

But I liked it a lot better back when you had to struggle to get money. Not now when so many people have thousands of gralat. The real problem is wealth, not poverty.

Actually, they do if they want to have any sort of FUN.

Face it, half of the fun things on G2k1 are based around buying materialistic goods.

i think we should be able to make our own things starting with simple rock tools by smashing away at things and tying things with vine etc to make hammers and things, then using them to make other things, etc, etc

without us spending any money, simply work

Giving rupees to everyone each week= Welfare state where the admins have even more control over finances.

Status Quo= Same old feces, differnt day.

Solution???


Not a good answer in sight. Money rarity has its merits, yet replacing keyboards constantly for "internet money" is a pain in the ass too.

I won't get long and drawn out like I have before but the fact is the guy is right. I like mining, it is something I prefer to do. But in the end you make very little. I can mass produce trees and sell apples, but I don't care for farming.
I'm not getting mad of fake money. Heck for the most part how needs gralet anyway, trading is a much more efficent way to get want you want.
Some one make a pickit sign for a shield. Then we can gather at the Admin house and have a sit in.
