AuthorInflation Crystals and Gems
Massive inflation happening in relation to the resource:crystals

The crystal cavern at silent hill sells crystals at 369 gold each.
But then now it always runs out. I waited for the workshift to end to try to snag some crystals, but the crystals just gone like that.
In market, the prices are now 176 god per crystal.

I hope something can be done to control this inflation. I thought of some reasons the inflation is happening.
The wage is for crystal cavern is 175 gold but with our labourer's guild effect, we gain more than 175 gold. 2 hours are required to produce 1 crystal, so crystal cavern uses 350 gold per crystal, then sells it for 369 gold. This makes the balance of crystal cavern increase. But the players do not get 350 gold, they get more than that due to laborers guild. This means they earn gold. By laboring in crystal cavern, one produces 0.5 crystals but gains more gold, maybe enough to buy 2 crystals. So each player in crystal cavern produce 0.5crystals per hour but consumes more than .5crystals per hour.

To make things worse, it is possible that some players notice the lack of crystals and are attempting to buy out the crystal cavern to sell at market for hiigher prices reaching 380 gold per crystal.

I think, the inflation will lower if more players get into smithing guild(lose gold), and more players enroll into crystal cavern. Or if the game changes to allow more resources then the inflation will stop.

Just hoping the inflation will stop.
inflation will happen but usually it drops eventually. people will use this to their advantage to exploit the market. just dont buy crystals for a while and the price will drop.
voil higher labor guild doesnt mean that player only gets more wage it also means he produces more crystals ...

Oh, thx for correcting me.
Exactly the reason... why this games is called lords of war and money not just war its strategy in finance and battle... so there are gonna be people who exploit the market some innovative people even made a clan to buy off resources and elemnts and then make a huge profit... but empire has the right to make as many resources as she wants so really when situations get worse she will step in to stop it
376 is not that much.
"Normal" price for such a ressource on market is 374 gold : 369 gold (mine price) + 4 (market commission) + 1 gold (net profit for seller).
A price reaching 376 means only a 3 gold profit. Not exactly zimbabwe-style inflation...
Hmmm this will be hard to stop this kind of inflation
well if you make the effort to analyse the market and to travel there to buy it, i think there is not much reason to stop you from making some (rather small)profit out of it. It is lords of war and MONEY...
No need for brain or traveling. You just need to win the "click-wars". I heard that if you are using an illegal script you can very soon make a fortune.
9 how can u make a fortune by selling gems with 3g profit? also i could buy crystals,gems few minutes after workshift ended without script. :)
People gravitate around Yellow Lake and its mercenary guild, hence fewer people enroll in Silent Hills and its Crystal cavern. Less crystals produced, and so people can even get the crystals there to sell it on market for a meager profit (*gasp!*) And making a handful gold coins on a resource sale seems enough to cause a thread here denouncing shortage and grey market...

Please come back with prices of 450-500 before calling anything an inflation. I've seen shortages in Mercury, Ore, and various things over time, going as far as putting entire artifact production chains to a grinding halt.

Believe me, it's too early to use these words.
But Kotrin, The sky is falling, the world is ending. 7 gold extra! Make the pain stop. :-)
oh dear... i wish someday we'll have a war here, so you could see what is inflation. right now we sell reprisal swords for 7000 gold in .ru XD now that is inflation.
right now we sell reprisal swords for 7000 gold in .ru

you're looking fwd to doing the same here, eh?

Miss Market!!!
communism:
nobody is able to buy a reprisal sword, everyone is equal: equally unhappy.

markets:
some can afford to buy a sword, some cannot. More people have a sword here than in communism, but the ones who cannot get one are especially unhappy because of envy.
Today's economy:
many people could buy a sword, but an oligarchy raises the prices so high that only a few can buy them .. the sword becomes a logo for power and wealth ... some people live their whole lives to have one ...
Most of the people is angry and envious
but then the prices always go up during wars and tournaments any way i repeat its lords of war and money so those who have money prevail...

7 extra gold is not pain... its not inflation as marked one said selling for 376 means technically 3 g profit... so it ain't inflation

the prices of the resource you clam to be in shortage have gone higher in the past

exactly what i mean leave that even the elements of windflower were sold at 9000 before so this ain't nothing for many old palyers this is a deflation in fact
imperialism:
you wanna have fun, but you don't have a sword. you try to be wily and find a sword from the map but the factories are occupied by the emeny. you curse these shameful traders but quietly go to the market a buy a sword.

patriotism:
the Empire is threatened! you have to defend your lands! no matter how much it costs, you go to the market, buy a sword and stand in the fisrt lines of the legion!

dictatorship:
the Empire needs every citizen. give your money here! take this sword! now go fight!
aga^)
10# I'm gonna make a fortune with 3 gp/gem profit !!
because 3*50=150 so 1 stock is 300 half coins!
yay,and then I will be rich and you will be sorry and bla,bla,bla,bla nah anyway.
