If hasn't been already done, someone should grab the total sP numbers so we can track this! (google cache is useful for finding numbers from the last couple days) (i'm at work or I'd do it myself)

- right after the news announcement I updated the spreadsheet with total sp and user sp amounts.

cheers for that/you! :)

Damn, those fairy wigs took 10 bil out of the system! More sp sinks like that, please! :D

I have around 40mil sP in pure with a rank at 3,932 out of 102,810 (Top 3.82%). Assuming the average user in the top (2%) of the economy owns an average of 50,000,000sP. Assuming the top 5-20 billionaires collectively earn 100 billion (10.21% of economy, top 0.004%) (50,000,000 * 3,750) + (30,716,419,278 + 25,000,000,000 + 20,000,000,000 + 15,000,000,000 + 5,000,000,000) 287,500,000 billion earned by top 3.5% of economy including billionaires (29.3% of economy) 187,500,000 billion earned by top 3.5% of economy excluding billionaires (19.1% of economy) Rank 6000 to 4,000 ~ average 20mil : 40bil (3.43% of economy, top 4-6%) Average of 7.15mil per person below rank 6,000 (lower 94%, 67.27% of economy)

While its true that inflation is happening, it should still be taken into consideration that there are a lot of inactive accounts.. if I could manage to get to this rank in one week with a lot of effort, it probably means theres at least 20,000 or more users just having their sP sitting there (effectively non-used, non-spent and be considered not in "economy" as so long as they don't buy anything).

Monthly inflation at 2.5%, economy doubles every 2.4 years, assuming current projections. [IMG]http://www.editgrid.com/export/sheetobject/46891924.png[/IMG]

This is an interesting thread, thanks for posting it. =) It's pretty interesting to see real economic concepts playing out in a game with fake money. I wish they'd used a game like this to teach economics when I had to take the class in high school. xD I probably would've paid more attention.

The average user has 9,979,627 sP There is a total of 999,619,356,882 sP

jumped like 200m in roughly the last 24 hours. O.o

HEY GUYS THIS IS ALL REALLY COOL I LIKE CHARTS AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Are there any specific numbers you want from me to make this COOLER? I can do some database queries tonight if there is anything in particular you're looking for.

XOXO.

points up Not sure if you're subscribed here or not, so making sure you see. :)

I'm not really sure what happened, but we took a lot more sP than usual out of the system the last few days!

Wizard Quest has been helping by reducing the amount of sP being put into the system

The graph / my comment is about removing a lot of sP from the system via sinks like the millionaire center, etc.

Maybe Im just slow, but

What does the difference between the red and green in the graph? Is green the total money removed from the economy and red the generated?

What I still don't understand is why it matters. If everyone has a lot of sP and everything is expensive, or everyone has a little sP and things are cheaper, then what difference does it make?

Because new users still start off with very little sP.

Nope, other way around. Green is sP put into the economy, red is removed.

If you don't mind, how much is that? I think I remember it being like 5k or 10k when I started, has that been adjusted at all? It doesn't necessarily need to be higher, I'm just curious.

It's 5k. What that means is that we have to make the things aimed at "highest earners" in the hundreds of millions which seems really out of reach for people who don't play daily, but depending on the stats / wearable / etc, that is how we have to price those things.

If we could "crunch" the amount of sP that people had to a more manageable level we could make prizes a little more fair for everyone when we aim for the highest denominator. Unfortunately that is really hard to do at this point, heh.

Thanks. That comment about "crunching" the sP got me thinking so I made some suggestions here. But, I don't know a lot about the economy, so I don't know if they'll be helpful to you :p

The average user has 9,901,503 sP There is a total of 1,000,032,036,580 sP

HOLY FUCK! 1 TRILLION sP and some change. :P

Genius
