Economy Test
Set all major economies to max integer for a week and see if the playerbase enjoys this system more than the capped player influenced economy we currently have. If after a week players liked the old way more, set back the old caps.
Listen up! People pay good money to see this movie! When they go out to a theater they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth! Do I have to come up there myself? Do you think the Gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster?

Re: Economy Test
Obviously if max integer makes the game crash if someone sells and puts it over, just set it so high that it's effectively infinite.

Re: Economy Test
Icly I've started using the coded merchant trade system in the game and found myself making lots of money easily without having a larger economy to rely on or having to grind like an organ grinder's monkey. Rather a small investment will yield a lot of coin over a period of time. The merchant system might be a good way for players of all kinds of levels and roleplays to make money without any significant changes to the codebase. It really surprised me how much fun one can have with this handy system.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Adventurers should be rich. Immediately so, even. That is the nature of adventuring, and the reason the adventuring class and the noble class often run parallel.A lot of characters will immediately become rich. Trust me, I remember those days.
