Economy

[Dennis]

I agree, there is too much money ingame and it's way too easy too make money.
That's why the LVP economy needs a major overhaul.
Only reducing the banklimit by 25% and changing the payout interval a little bit doesnt do it for me. We should start with a few simple but effective things.

I have the following, easy to implement, suggestions:

• Because the earnings of most properties are way too high, either those earnings need to be lowered, or the time between the payouts. The second option is probably the easiest to implement, so I suggest you do that. The payout interval is now 2 minutes, right? Then I would like to see that changed to 5 minutes for regular players, and maybe 3 minutes for VIP's.

.

• Change the /loan options. It should no longer be possible for new players to simply loan 1 million or even more. First of all because it can be abused quite easily. For instance by creating another account and using that account to loan money and transfer that to other people, friends or the own account. Secondly, because there are several properties ingame that have (much) higher earnings than the interestcosts for the loan.
  I would like to see that the loanoption becomes unavailable for people who aren't registered, and be set to a maximum of 100.000 for regular players and 250.000 for VIP's.

.

• Remove the possibility to bank and withdraw everywhere. It's now way too easy to drive to a property, do /withdraw and buy it. Or to get cash from a property or by killing someone, and immediately doing /bank. This totally eliminates all the excitement of quickly having to bank your money before you get killed, or not getting killed or otherwise losing your money on your way to buy a property.
  In my opinion there should only be 3 levels, depending on the amount of pluspoints.
  1. Only use the bank
  2. Use the bank and the 24/7's
  3. Use bank, 24/7 and all ATM's (maybe there need to be a few more ATM's then)
  

When these 3 things will I implemented, I think it will have a positive effect on the gameplay. Because then money suddenly becomes more important, and you have to carry around bigger amounts of it, with the risk of getting killed and losing it.

There are a whole lot more things that we can do to change/improve the economy on LVP, but this would be a good first step imo.
