Define “lack of players”. Unless there will be 0 people playing servers wont shut down, thats not how things work you know. Unless game (I mean players) will stop earning AGS money (which it won’t at the very least because of cosmetics and stuff) servers wont shut down.
just disable pulling gold out of city or limit it to 50 k a week or something.
But once the vast majority has left, all you will have are max. 200 or 300 players who hold the major towns, with no one to farm, craft, and wage war with. And those aren’t the people who buy tons of cosmetics either, the casuals are. The game will no longer be profitable.
And if you are so sure the game won’t shut down, then you must have missed the history of Amazon Game Studios…
They need to revamp the whole system, quickly, or in less than six months, all they will have left is their eyes to cry.

Vast majority have already left, look at the numbers(why do you think they’ve merged servers). Now those numbers will stabilize and will rise with every expansion just like in every other MMO. Game will be profitable until income is above 0. And how do you know who buys cosmetics and who dont? You have any statistics on that or maybe you asked every single player if he/she buys something from the store?
No need for statistics, just look the Steam numbers.
And then it’s just simple maths you learn before you even hit college… less players = less income. There’s only so many cosmetics one can buy, and let’s be real, beside a minority of whales, very few buy them all.
Continue cutting parts of my posts and put them out of context. Makes your posts look stupid and supports my arguments.
Thanks for that.
And return to college for maths, maybe… 
Wow this thread goes the same way every thread goes. With the people that wanna see the game fail and the people who wanna see it be the best just arguing about responses. Look AGS just needs to hide the amount of gold a guild has so we cant see and problem solved.
No one needs to see how much gold a person has. That just causes envy just like this thread.

Better solution would be to nerf the hell out of the taxes. Especially the housing tax.

I love the game personally, I don’t want to see it fail, but I don’t see how it will survive more than a few months in its current state. Specially with people like you defending it and refusing to see the obvious. Either you’re part of them, or you are ignorant of the consequences of that completely broken economy on the game as a whole.
And wait when they will restore the full housing taxes, which are, right now, reduced by 90%. You aren’t forced to believe me, but I predict another major player bleeding.
Let me give you my take on this.
- They need to completely rework the city ownership and taxes system.
- Then, release fresh servers where the “honest” players can start anew. I’d be there, even with my 500+ hours invested.
I see no other way, because the game is already broken beyond recovery, sadly.

Its sad you think that but you are entitled to your own opinion. Why does a guild having a massive amount of gold need to impact “your” gameplay? What makes them having so much gold even change the state of your play? Or is it the fact you know they have it that impacts your gameplay?

If you don’t know the impact of people able to earn tons of gold without much work on a game’s economy, I don’t know what to say. Ignorance, or maybe you’re very young ? Or very naive, like the AGS developers ?

Have you ever heard of inflation in your life? Or do you live on another planet far from earth?
there is a way. only access after personal proof of having a Job ( Contract )
and also limited time like 6hours a day for example
I live on planet earth. On a planet that if I was to show my friends how much cash I had they would send mean letters just like these posts complaining… Envy is the only reason I see you all having as a problem. Inflation can not last in a game like this. Its not a real full economy.

In order to save enough coins, some coin merchants will also put illegally obtained coins into the guild, so that they can break the coin cap and keep as many coins as they want. Why not check out inactive guilds with a lot of coins?
True, just like in real life people hate when someone earns more than them and instead of changing something in their miserable life they just cry about it.

I’m not 60 yet so don’t know how all of that works but couldn’t they bind the company to city vendors with BOP items like potions, armour, weapons etc or BOP tokens to buy items so that the gold is used but can’t be sold etc.

I’m not toxic or name calling, but just questioning how you can be so ignorant of basic economics to not realize how badly this system is flawed.
There you go, your ignorance shows. Or maybe just your lack of will to see reality. Or, another option, that you’re just part of them.
A NW server is a 2000 concurrent player closed circuit (at max, now it’s even less people). It’s a VERY small world. Which makes it MUCH worse than “real life”, actually. You who talk about statistics should know that the smaller the sample, the bigger the disparities.
