      To a large extent this is accurate. All trade is about the exchange
      of goods. The only thing money allows is to delay the barter. Or it
      makes it possible for two people to trade when one of them does not
      have something the other desires (or not in the quantity necessary
      to trade fairly). Trading money for money is a fairly new invention
      and muds are far too small to develop that kind of economy regard-
      less.

      No. Inflation occurs if the the prices rise. This is a natural pro-
      cess and not much of a problem. In fact zero, or negative inflaction
      can be quite damaging to an economy, much like hyper inflation. One
      other type of inflation, and the one that pertains to muds, is when
      the volume of money grows (much) quicker than the production. Money
      represents a certain amount of unspecified goods that can be obtain-
      ed with it. If the amount of money grows quickly, but the amount of
      goods does not, then obviously money is going to be worth less. (It
      is more complicated than that, but this is the principle). In a mud
      the influx of money happens from killing monsters. The stronger the
      monster is the more money it introduces into the game. This is the
      faucet. Usually there are some things that the players can spend the
      money on, the drains. However, the rule that strong monsters yield a
      lot of money means that high level players can gather huge amounts
      of money. This limits the drains that are possible. Utility goods,
      like food, are out because making them a serious drain would starve
      the low level players. This leaves very few possible drains. Especi-
      ally because the other part of economy, goods, are introduced into
      the game through the same faucet. Monsters produce equipment, which
      is the only real 'good' in the game that is worth having from a game
      play point of view. Traditionally 'rent' served as the biggest drain
      in muds, but these were impopular. Other purchases are of little use
      because they generally are limited. You can not buy skills or levels
      or stats indefinitely.
      
      For low level players mud money has utility, because they need it to
      purchase food, and perhaps, basic equipment. At higher levels they
      can get all the money they want for their normal purchases and there
      tends to be no serious, and permanent, drain of money out of the ga-
      me. Even purchase of equipment is not an option because the utility
      value of those means that players will generally only barter for an-
      other piece of equipment.

      True, but then in a typical mud the money presses are running over-
      time with all the monsters being killed and dropping gold and loot.
      Note that with equipment you will also see inflation. As better and
      more equipment becomes available it trickles down to low level pla-
      yers, until they run around with equipment that a year ago was only
      in the possession of the highest level and most dedicated players.
      This then leads to another type of inflation: that of monsters, and
      the net result is that for players with previous characters or with
      connections the game gets too easy. They have a sword of slaying to
      use against monsters designed to hold their own against at most a
      blunt fork.

      The best solution is to scrap the idea that monsters must drop gold
      and equipment. If you want a sword you must buy one from another
      player. If you want gold you must make a sword and sell it :)
      
      Players are not going to appreciate it, but it will result in a real
      economy in your game, especially if you also introduce destruction
      of worn out equipment.
