Yeah, the economic part of it took on a life of its own.

Personally, I don't think so. Players are clever, and they will do
unexpected things with your game. That's what makes these beasts
interesting. The fact that they come up with a better means of
exchange isn't bad at all given that.
My original point was that developers seem shocked when players start
using alternative currencies, even though "Lessons" pointed this
out. Brad just pointed out that the EQ team wasn't surprised, and that
EQ's economy isn't broken by his definition.

Yeah, and not everything is a frictionless vacuum as college level
physics would have us believe. This is a basic definition. It works
well enough to explain what's happening, at least on a basic level, in
our games.

Yes, but remember, perception is reality in MUDs. :)

Actually, gold itself doesn't have much utility. It makes a good
conductor and it has properties that make it ideal for making
jewelry. This doesn't make a lump of gold any more useful to people
without the ability to craft it. Jewelry, on the other hand, has
utility because it is pleasing to look at and can alter people's
perceptions of the wearer.
> That's the original reason for its value.
From what I learned, gold was made a currency because it doesn't
corrode like other metals such as iron. Iron will rust, which
actually damages the metal. This is bad if you want to try to
stockpile the metal to save your wealth. I guess this adds a bit to
it utility. :)

And just saying "xp" conjures up images of power. :)

By "reasonable" I meant limited what players could have. I'm sure the
administration could create billions of platinum pieces to "buy" an
item, which would sort of invalidate the example, no?

Under the definition of "reasonable" above, you can. Obviously people
(or entities) have enough money to buy these items, such as the
paintings you mention. It doesn't take a government running off
printing presses of currency to purchase them, does it?

You might want to take a look at Asheron's Call and what they do with
trade notes. In brief, money weighs a lot, and you can lighten your
load by buying trade notes from vendors in town. You give the vendor
110% of the trade note's face value, and that gives you the right to
exchange that note for it's face value in currency. If you give it to
another vendor, you will only get 90% of the trade note's face
value. An interesting twist, I think. :)

Yes, but interest on investments a whole other level of complexity I
don't think current games are able to handle. :)
