    Regardless, players value things. And many muds want players to
    quantify their valuations in terms of the mud's currency (presumably
    this is desireable because "that's the way the real world works"). The
    art is in how a game designer achieves that goal.

    Many economists disagree. If the Federal Reserve Board _hadn't_ bailed
    out LTCM it may not have failed at all. And even if it had failed, it
    wouldn't have taken the "world economy" (whatever that is :) down with
    it. Moreover, LTCM didn't nearly fail because of people's perceptions
    of value (though that may have been a factor in the bailout itself).
    It nearly failed because LTCM's analysts thought that their portfolio
    was diversified over markets with very low cross-correlation. And when
    all those markets all moved in the same direction, against all their
    data, boom! In fact, perception _couldn't_ have affected LTCM, since
    their strategy was secret (and so complex that the majority of LTCM
    didn't even understand it).

    The use of a currency is not about scarcity or utility. It's about
    volatility. Forgable currency is volatile currency. Currency tied to a
    quantity of a stable physical object (eg gold) is less volatile than
    one tied to an unstable one (eg the number of cows you own not yet
    infected with hoof and mouth). The sucession of mediums of exchange
    has mostly increased in stability. If you can't make assumptions about
    the value a currency will have tomorrow, you are safer bartering.

    [This is in response to Brian, not Matt]
    
    It's probably a little more complicated than that. For example, if a
    mud admin magically doubled the number of coins everyone and at the
    same time doubled all the prices the economy doesn't change at all.
    Adding or subtracting coins without changing prices or changing prices
    without adding or subtracting coins _would_ change the economy.

    Barriers to use of a currency can actually be good for an economy, as
    it can greatly reduce its volitility, providing stability and
    predictability to the economy based on it.

    There many ways to earn interest and invest currency in a mud. If I
    give you 100 gold to buy platemail so you can tackle richer monsters,
    on the condition that you give me 110 gold in a week (presumably from
    those monsters), that's an investment. A guild could easily manage a
    pot of money they use for buying shops or equipping raiding parties
    that is repaid to those who threw in plus a profit share, that's
    interest.
    
    The problem with a lot of mud currencies isn't in how they can be
    used, it's in their volitility.
