Hello everyone and happy mid-week!

°´ Hold on to Your Horses

As we all know, the big economy reset and the money cut is looming and only a few days away. We have had quite a few questions about the cut and changes and we want to clarify some details in this post.

As mentioned in the comments on the previous news post, we are doing this with the long-term future of the game in mind. This cut isn¢t to punish anyone and although you will have less money on the other end, it is not taking away what you have earned. Our goal is to change the value of the Eqcetera dollar, meaning that even though you will have less money, it will be worth the same or more as what you had before the cut. If money has value, that means people will be more encouraged to sell and stud out quality horses for money again instead of primarily ingots as it is now. This will make the market more fair to everyone, including new players.

We¢ve tested numerous scenarios for this change and will be putting in place the ones we found that work best based on the number of horses that people have. If things don¢t work out, we are not against changing prices and payouts but we won¢t be rushing any changes after the update.

¢ Care and Other Costs

• The care cron will be paused for 1 week to remove this cost from you and allow you to settle into the economy.

• Shows (discipline & halter) will not be created on Saturday morning so that prices do not change mid-day for those entering. 

• Care will cost a total of $5 a day for feed/water/groom. The most anyone could ever pay in 1 day for care is roughly $7,750 (1,550 horses worth). In-game, the player with the most horses has 1,480 horses or $7,400 worth of care per day.

• Showing will no longer have different pricing tiers ($100, $500, and $5,000) and will be greatly reduced in cost and payout. 

• Adoption, surrendering, shouts, and gelding cost will be kept as-is.

¢¢ What if Things Go Wrong?

Hopefully, things won¢t go wrong but if they do, we aren't going to sit back and watch everyone struggle. Adjusting costs is quite easy to achieve should anything need to happen. We have done this before and will do so again if needed since we do have your best interest in mind. As mentioned before, we won¢t be rushing changes and would like to take one month to observe changes if possible. 

¢¨ Don't Forget

Don¢t forget if you have >100m it is a very good idea to go spend it on ingots or items. Ingots can be bought for 50k each at the ingot store or ingot items bought for EQD at the General Store.

• < $50,000 = no cut

• $50,000 - $100 mil = you will keep 1% of your total money and be given an additional $50,000. (example: you have $100,000 - you will keep 1% ($1,000) plus $50,000 for a total of $51,000. )

• $100 mil+ = you will have everything above $100 mil removed. Then revert to bullet point 2 above, keep only 1% of 100m, and be given $50,000 more.

We have seen a few comments about players spending all of their EQD. We do not recommend this and suggest reading the above and/or asking staff to ensure you are using your EQD in the best way possible. So far, we have dropped from 144 billion in the economy to 96 billion which means quite a few players haven't spent that cash hoard yet!

We will see you on the 1st!

Cheers,

The Dev Team
