Well... there is an expense you can use to get them to spend money for starters...

I played there between the opening to 2006 or 2007, don't remember.
And this problem is old, even with the resets, the bugs to create/dupe gold always be there, you just didn't found it.
My first idea: remove all gold from players who don't logged since 3 months ago.
Second idea: that I said before.
I started to play in 2005, and since 2010 we don't have problems with bug to create/dupe gold
@Portuguese
Cara, desde quando joguei na DMS, sempre teve bug.
Até depois dos resets apareciam alguns, pareciam até propositais...
Eu mesmo já tive 1.9KKK de gold kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk exatamente esse valor aí que o shard todo tem... e sim, era bug. E só pra constar, não fui eu quem buguei, foi um colega que jogava. E só aceitei porque fui banido injustamente pelo gnomosux, pois o mesmo achou que todas as plates que eu e um amigo (outro amigo) tinhamos juntos eram dupadas kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk muito noob.

THE BEST OPTION IN MY OPINION IS
1 - MAKE THE NPCS DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM PLAYERS FOR A WHILE.
2 - INCREASE THE PRICE FOR ALL NPC'S ITEMS.
3 - CREATE FASHION AND UNIQUE ITEMS TO BE BROUGHT BY RICH PLAYERS.
IF YOU REMOVE PPL GOLD EVEN THE ONES THAT DON'T LOG IN FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS WILL MAKE YOUR SHARD NOT RELIABLE.
P.S SRY FOR MY CAPS, MY KEYBOARD IS BROKEN...

The problem with these ideas is that you are now punishing new players... brand new guy logs in, has nothing, cant craft and sell anything, cant buy anything because its too expense... quits immediately.

Ran is right, best thing to do is find something u can charge for, as an example (just an example, im not recommending it) lets say u charge players to open their bank box, u dont want new players or poor players to get charged, cus thats gonna piss them off, but u can make a script that will check their total gold on that character and charge them based on if they have a huge amount (say more than 200,000), this way only ppl with a massive amount of gold will have to pay, and if u dont make it some stupid amount then rich players wont even care if they are getting charged
example, say i had 2mil gold, i go to open my bank box and it charges me 500 gold, to a player that has 2mil, 500 is nothing, they wont care about 500 gold, but if they open the box enuff u start to widdle away at their pile and eventually their money is going to mean more.
i would also suggest having players pay a maintenance fee on their houses, and increase the fee based on the regions like in mordaunts script, this will also pull money from the economy, the bigger the house, the more the fee will be, rich players tend to have big houses.
there are lots of ways to pull money from the economy, just have to be sure u are pulling it from the right source so u dont make nre players and poor player suffer from the ill effects of the rich players dicking the economy up

As I said in IRC earlier...
Auction off some smaller less used islands for players to build secluded homes on.

I think the best way to control this economy flow is prevent gold to be created, instead let it got created to then remove
RE: Ideas for Taxes - Rattlehead - 09-20-2013 03:21 PM
well, thats all good and well, but if u dont create gold, then no players will have gold, no npc's will buy or be able to sell anything either.
i like the flow chart, as it allows you to pinpoint the issue pretty accurately tbh, and in my eyes, it seems that 'Degradation' is the problem child, i dont understand exactly what that is supposed to signify.
RE: Ideas for Taxes - darksun84 - 09-20-2013 05:23 PM
I think degradation is the weapons/armors reparation, a frequent expenditure in some mmorpg
RE: Ideas for Taxes - Mordaunt - 09-20-2013 08:23 PM
Well... it can cover anything you have bought and put in your inventory (if you notice it's under that) so it's not just armor/weapon repair, it covers consumables too... you're food, potions, scrolls and of course the old uofavorite...
