      According to McQuaid, Brad:
      
      > Could you define broken? IMHO, EQ's economy works because prices
      > are derived constantly from supply and demand, fluctuating
      > accordingly.
      
      If we take this as an extreme, economy works as long as there are any
      form of transactions. The real breakdown would come the day no players
      ever traded anything.
      
      There are two distinc economic circuits anyway in these MUDs. You have
      the player-player economy, and the player-merchant economy (marchant
      implying NPC merchants).
      
      I prefer to take as a "breakdown test" for the economy the point when
      a player stops trying to trade with players and prefers the
      player-merchant circuit. The economy might be "functioning", but if it
      doesn't involve player-player transactions, it's not a desirable
      economy. In this way, EQ economy shows some "fraying at the edges".
      
      A good example is the Axe of the Iron Back. A good and very nice
      weapon for intermediate levels. The problem is, at the level I get
      these axes, I sell them directly to the merchant. Trying to sell one
      to a player takes enough time that I could earn more cash directly out
      of monsters during the same time (and get XP besides).

      Basically, entering the 'Common Market' or 'GBay' (the nicknames I've
      seen affeted to the two places where you have trading), I get the
      impression I've entered Wall Street and am looking at a stocks scroll
      :)
      
      The problem is, it's a seller's market. 95% of the auction shouts I
      see are "sells". It's very well known (well, on the server I played)
      that you get there to buy cheaply items, not to sell them. The last
      time I went there and purchased something, the seller did a double
      take because I wasn't asking to just look at the item stats, but I was
      asking for a straight purchase.

      People have to trust currency to use it. Trusting currency means that
      you have confidence that currency will allow you access to items
      and/or services.
      
      That's where the 'pp' currency breaks down in EQ for higher
      levels. The only services currency allows you access to are coffins
      and TP stones (at that time, 95% of the people know clerics and
      druids, and thus get "free" TP and resurrections from friends, the
      player services that do not require components). But for items? Forget
      it: the items higher-end players really desire are rare. Very
      rare. Rare enough that the mere possession of, say 50k pp in your bank
      isn't enough to buy one: you also have to find someone who has the
      item and is willing to sell/trade it - and that is hard.
      
      That's why people do not have confidence in the currency in
      EQ. Because that currency isn't a guarantee of having an item. Rare
      items are, well, rare. The same occurs in AC, of course. Why are
      motes/shards/sturdy keys/etc used as the main currency? Because these
      tokens guarantee you if necessary a service or a desirable item.
      
      > Anyway, sorry for going on and on, or for taking the thread on
      > another tangent (not that that ever happens here :), but assertions
      > that EQ's economy is 'broken' are one of those that set me off :)
      
      One of the more interesting parallel currency I've seen developping at
      the higher end game in EQ is what I call "private banks". For those
      not familiar with EQ higher-end dynamics, let me explain more:
      
      I'm speaking here of the so-called "uber-guilds", who have almost all
      migrated to what they call a point-based system. Point-based systems
      simply award you points for participation in raids (i.e. expeditions
      where multi-groups are required to achieve an objective), and let you
      "loot" according to your points total.
      
      A quick history of the point systems here, so you better understand
      why they're there.
      
      These systems basically evolved because a lot of people are motivated
      primarily by "loot", and about 99% of the raids have a policy that
      loot is awarded on the basis of "can use and will use now". In other
      words, a wizard trying to get included in a random for a melee weapon
      gets frowned upon. Why? Because a raid includes typically 3 or more
      groups of 6 people, and will yield 2 to 5 items tops. And it irks
      people to see a meleer trying to get a nice INT item just to trade it
      away when you would use it here and now. In theory, it's all fair,
      since the same number of people derive an item in the end. But
      psychology dictates otherwise; people get angry when they see
      something having a deferred use when it could have an immediate one.
      
      The main problem then becomes getting people in raids. Specially when
      a raided "boss" is known to drop no items useable/desirable by your
      class. Or if you already have the items from that boss. Gettings
      friends help, but is often not enough. Why would a warrior participate
      in a raid against Trakanon, for example, if he already has a
      breastplate from the Plane of Growth (which is better than what
      Trakanon drops for him)?
      
      Thus, the point systems, which is simple: For each raid, you get
      points. When you want an item during a raid, the person with the most
      points gets it, and the "appropriate" number of points gets deducted
      from his total.
      
      Of course, if you really look at it, you recognise a privately managed
      currency. You get a "salary" when you work (help during a raid), and
      you get to spend that "money" during a raid. Most systems also include
      a "redeem" system, where you can turn in your old items, and get back
      some or all of the "money" (points) you had spent getting them in the
      first place.
      
      That's probably the most interesting form of parallel currency I've
      yet to see. And it's one that works well, because the currency is
      backed by a semi-guarantee that you can get to spend your money for
      something you desire.
      
      Of course, most guilds don't consciously see it that way, and it's
      easy to build a point system that is subject to rampant inflation (if
      the points introduced in the system by a raid regularly exceed the
      points removed from the system by the loot, you may get into problems
      very quickly) or that goes bankrupt quickly when people live on credit
      (if less points get generated than are consumed during a raid, you end
      up in a situtation where no one can afford to "pay" for the loot, and
      people that are already with a negative point total buy the items,
      pushing them further "in the red").
