#Exchange Rates Currency

[mapsontheweb]

The true value of a US dollar

Its Based on OCDE data EXCH and PPP with 2022 values. This is Exchange Rate of the Currency divided by the Parity Purchase Power, a measure of how cheap or inflationary a country is. This should me read as: “In the US I'd need to spend 2.36 to buy the same things 1 dollar bought me in Poland"

my midst evangelist mutuals will be happy to know i started listening today! it's very good so far. really cool worldbuilding, very interesting setup getting slowly dripped in over time. they do a great job of setting up the tension where i'm sure that these background class frictions and political motivations are going to boil over at some point in the near future but as of right now, i can't begin to guess what that tipping point's going to be.

So, in case I got any folks that got folks in video game design for a company capable of running an actually massive MMORPG, I got an idea for a game that could possibly breathe new life into the genre.

Okay, so the idea is, what if we took a world with the layout and skill levels of RuneScape, the economy style of Albion Online, the real world money system of Entropia Universe, then put it on an absolutely massive world, like akin to putting all of earth into a game map.

In detail what that means in order

Set it up so there's regular towns and rest stops between them with occasional events for each area based on a random number generator and coin flip. Rng determines event and coin flip determines if it happens. Could add on other factors but this is elevator pitch.

Economy style where all but the starting items are player made or drops, allowing prices to fluxuate based on supply and demand for each area. If there's a ton of low level slimes dropping slime balls in one area but not another, the price in the high slime pop area goes down. Meanwhile players can run trade caravans for valuable tools, weapons, armor, clothes and not super basic items or go and get the supplies to make them or even actual items from out on the roads and in wilderness or special event areas or wherever isn't a town. Point is, anyone can do it if they put the skill into it. You can be the over the top badass tank that can take 50 billion damage or the ultra rich blacksmith.

If you're familiar at all with Entropia, you already get this. But tldr for that is you can buy in game currency, as well as take out real world money. More players buy than sell in game currency, so it ends up as a net profit.

Entropia also has a system of land ownership which pays out players for investing in the game based on resources gathered in their lands. If a player "maintains" the land by investing in game resources into it, they get paid more. Something like that could do well with the rest of the systems.

Anyway, onto setting. I'm thinking Pangea with magic, dinosaurs, fantasy creatures from as many cultures as possible, and all variety of dragons. Set in a sort of medieval/Renaissance hybrid but with the alternate geography. That is truthfully the best I can describe it without going into excruciating detail that I don't feel like typing with my thumbs. At the moment.

In order to make it profitable, there would also likely need to be either ads occasionally or in a small side window or some sort of regular dlc. Ideally said dlc could be done using the magic in the world to open other planes of existence/multiverses that the players could then own land in as well but with other resources specific to the area. As long as we can justify the cost to the consumer through it being big, cool or big and cool enough, we're good. Honestly the ads might be a less bad idea so rather than that, I'd suggest selling an ad blocker dlc along with semi regular world expansions

i loved the shopping spree scene in chapter 35, it was so cute seeing nobara have fun with nanako and mimiko. since ginza is known for being pricey i am curious about how much of higuruma's money did nobara spend?

omg this is a hilarious question to think about...based off the items she purchased, the number of bags, and the stores she visited, i'd say she probably spent between ¥2,500,000 - ¥3,000,000

Just had a thought about how tumblr is kind of like when newspapers and magazines would have “caption” contests where the winner with the funniest caption gets a prize only our prize is clout except tumblr clout has literally zero currency anywhere else online or in the world
