I want to play Devil's advocate a moment, not just because it is fun but because I have never seen the point of LHO and since the nerf of their spells I don't see the benefit of LHO's. When I started it was forwned upon to feed people information, for example explaining how to get into Loreroot publically was quite verboten. You learned as you played, some things you never learned if you didn't play enough. Personally, the very few occasions somehow has asked me for help I try to tell them to search the announcements and the forums as 99% of the time the answer is there, there also tends to be an explanation of why something is the way it is, which is more important than knowing the thing itself, I tend to find. Seeing as they don't ask for help a second time I can only assume my superior way of teaching has set them off on the right path, so much so they never feel the need to ask a question again! A ticketing system would be far superior to the glowing button, although I will miss being able to spam an LHO when I get bored. Why not have the button link to a general thread on the forum? Let anyone help when someone is actively looking. Why do we need players with a * and a few spells? You will probably get a faster response that way. Most importantly, it will be public so if the answer is incorrect people can chime in. Why restrict it to certain people, when you can have it in a public place? If someone isn't going to stick around because there is nobody around to feed them answers, that is an excellent filter in my opinion.

I know previously when you first moved into the next scene you still got the benefit of lowered viscosity, that might be the other 4 AP but I am not 100% sure on that.

Having done some quick math, do you have cartography of around 84? That will reduce the AP by that amount.

Works for me when I enable Flash? Mine and Ungod were both fine when I checked.

1gc on each (1 &2) 14th Anni, for a total of 2GC.

If you want to do a % value, which I think is a bad idea, add a hard cap like some of the shop items give. So either 1000 + 50% or 25,000 total. I don't think it is a good idea though, balancing on percentages is impossible, check out any looter shooter....

I was outbidding Shem's bid. I assume that means I win the one you weren't bidding on?

Not sure I see the need to give coins for credit purchase, are the credits not enough? Or is this some way to incentive gifting credits? To get rid fo the 2% stat boosts? I can understand the point about coins being seen as achievements, to me that adds to their monetary value - you either spent a decent amount unlocking and getting stuff in the shop, whether by supporting the game or grinding free credits or they were a reward for some activity - maybe questing or helping out. I earn my money but I could phrase it as a reward for my acheivements! Maybe I will do so in my CV somehow.... I find it hard to see a clear-cut distinction between barter and pay personally, I suppose they are different but not much functionally? If you are happy to be paid in sand, more power to you. If you think a GC is too valuable that is fine, give them a SC or three. They do still exist, even if they are a pain to transfer in bulk. I'm not a fan of the 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' but this has been unchanged for over a decade, was decided by the players (still is) and I've yet to see any evidence it is not 'working'.

The economy is stagnant because the broader game is stagnant. Considering the amount of active players, I think it is doing quite well. I'm on mobile so can't check but wouldn't be surprised if it is one of the more active sections on the forum which historically attracted a range of players - auctions are always popular. Yes wealth flowing is empowering but there will always be people with more wealth, inflating the amount of gold will just inflate the hoard. If you want a more fluid economy, look to making the secondary currencies such as resources more fluid and reducing barriers to their trade. If I could buy 1 memory stone for 1sc from a stack of stones I would, but stacks are an inviolable gameplay mechanic. Reducing penalties for transferring creatures for a cost is a great way to make it more fluid, reducing SC in the realm and encouraging trading - perhaps do something similar for stacks. Say I have 10 stones in a stack, let me sacc 1 to Treasury to transfer 1 from the stack rather than the whole thing. Those sorts of things would help increase activity and reduce the cost for new players. If you decrease the value of GC/SC you simply increase the amount required helping nobody. Inflation is a real thing, after all.

I think the real question is why it needs changing? I don't think there is an issue with the currency of a game being rigid and gold/silver is essentially limitless in MD. You have other infinetly flexible currencies in resources etc. Yes, some people have a large amount of coin but that didn't come from nowhere. It came from supporting the game financially, trading, questing all options available to any player. You already have ways to incentive people spending their coin, in fact you are doing that now but some people will always have more than others. We also already have numerous secondary currencies - resources, creatures perhaps access to certain tools etc. so what does debasing GC/SC actually accomplish? You will just increase the costs of things to new highs which won't help new players and the older players with a hoard will quickly adjust.
