im glad we all agree that removing the gold cap would be better then
You are openly admitting the fact that gold cap causes more problems than fixes them
I will say. Nothing about the economic situation in this game is positive. I sympathize with you and i think the gold cap is a bullshit thing. Yes
So remove it or raise it to 1.5mil like OP was suggesting it’s really not hard
Yeah raising it to 1mill or 1.5 might be a good solution. There are variables to consider with that. But I’m not an expert in economics so I’ll let some bigger brains at AGS figure out that one
This will not resolve anything though. People will just reach 1m or 1.5m and the request for a bank system or upped gold cap will return.
The main problem remains, the inevitability of by playing people are accumulating great wealth with a level of inflation out of control. In the real world we’re talking about “mass inflation” right now, with levels of around 5 - 10% in most western countries. New World has seen an inflation rate of about 500 - 1000% last year, at least.
This is a very common occurence in MMO’s. If you’re going to be raising the caps, it only makes sense to raise it to something like 2,147,483,647 or 4,294,967,295. Or even higher if stored as 64 bit integer values. Essentially, just let the cap be determined by database limitations rather than anything else. Because you’re accepting to let the economy remain messed up anyway.
A much healthier change would be reduction of the level of inflation.
For those who say you do too much war or spend the gold blah blah, i have not played in a war since approximately march of this year. I make my gold grinding and crafting. I maxed all of my crafting the hard way before they dumbed it down on recent updates. Now since its so easy i just gather the mats and sell, in 2 days i made 8k selling water lol goes to show you how lazy people are. If you dont have at least 300k gold you either are lazy or dont know what youre doing. And i dont spend my gold cuz theres nothing really i need or want at the moment
Also, if upping the cap is not a good idea at least give us a bank system that way we dont have to make a company in order to carry it.
“Also if youre not gunna up the cap, at least allow us to get around it entirely making it absolutely pointless in the first place with a bank system”
What sort of backwards fucking pageantry is that?

there should be ONE company storage, larger than 1000.
make capacity depend on number of people in the company. like housing, where if removing a chest or not paying taxes, if a player is removed or leaves the company, you go over capacity and you can only remove items from the company storage.
officers and above can deposit. consuls and above can withdraw. if deposit access is given to everyone, it could go over limit easily.
is this linked and viewable in dropdowns like other storage?
in each town hall there is a door under the stairs. that’d be a great immersion spot for this company storage.
interesting thread. i agree with most of your concerns and suggestions. actually raising the gold cap even by a little bit is…meh. there’s items, and the items that cost over a mil already use refined resources as part of deal. not to mention inflation due to it. you said you aren’t an economist. neither am i, but maybe one could be deferred to. surely AGS has resources.
i made a post proposing something that could slow down the viability of mega companies…and in effect, inflation. players could always use another account and a non-leaderboard shell as a bank though. anyway, here’s wonderwall: War/Territory System Update Idea
I would certainly like for there to be a single unified company storage with assignable permissions per tab. Additionally, I’d like for there to be, similar to faction quests, a series of quests that company members can embark on (e.g. “provide xxx hyssop to the company vendor”) in order to unlock bigger company banking or to enable certain PvE/PvP perks for members of that company.

Only if there were high weekly fees paid for the bank usage that increased the higher the bank balance to help take some of the excessive gold out of the game.
Why all your answers have to be smartass answers, you must have a very boring life
oh, interesting!
storage weight limit? because i thought there wasn’t a cap on company treasury (coin). maybe make a limit for that as well per company member unlockable with company quests by the member.
maybe just get deposited into the company bank.
furthermore, maybe gov/consul can make a wish orders for company members to deposit towards. these wish list items would be able to be directly deposited by any rank until amount is fulfilled.
terrible idea not possible.
500k gold is enough even to much.
companies are destroying the game as it is.
There’s a cap of 5 million on company treasuries, which is one of the reasons so many people form these god-awful shell companies in order to hoard more coin.
I think company members deposit to the bank in order to help meet company goals, and in terms of any theoretical “company quests” designed for company advancement (including quests to allow for more members, perhaps), those items or accomplishments should be quest-like in nature.
The model that comes to mind for these was, for me, based on the World of Warcraft guild advancement quests, but would obviously have to be altered to match the way New World should work.

LOL. I didn’t event know that there is some kind of gold cap and I spent ~300hrs in this game. I never had more than 30-35k at me xD Looks like I’m too casual for this game and I’m not focused enough on making money as from my perspective there are a lot of crazy expensive equipment in TP.
I did not understand anything about the game.
