Some games are programmed to where if a house is bought, it is repossessed after a char is inactive over a month. I agree, houses....some cheaper then others possibly depending on the town you would like to encourage movement into, would be a good way to bring money to the system.

((is the stockpiling of copper making the mechanics of the game suffer? hard on the server? Possibly even program after a certain amount, no more money can be stockpiled?))

Hell no you are crazy simply put. I had problems so i could not play Illarion for about 8 months, but I came back and I used my copper just as much. Who are you to decide why someone should lose their copper because they have been inactive? I mean if you earned it you keep it.

Edit: Plus some people go on vacations for longer than that I mean seriously.

I realize this and know it would be a hardship on some chars especially with vacations etc. but if this would help the issue, I would be willing to loose mine. It could even be programed where some silver was still left, enough so the char would not be poor if/when returned. As it is now, it is very difficult for those that actually DO play on a regular basis.

All its doing is giving wrong values when you calculate how much money is around IG...

Inactive chars make everyone seem richer...

If this is the sole problem, why worry about adding more copper to the game?
