Hey, remember when people linked Extra Credits videos all the time? I found another one.

MMO Economies - Hyperinflation, Reserve Currencies & You! - Extra Credits
It essentially outlines all the problems of an MMO economy and the basics of how developers solve them – What I thought was really great was that Spiral Knights does literally all of these things. Does that mean that OOO were ahead of their time in MMO design or something?

algorithms are the solutions to all problems.
oh, Klipik with an EC video. it's been ages since the last time.
since I haven't seen another MMO with this system in place, I'll have to say that I have no reference to compare SK to. but I agree that a lot of the solutions that developers can employ are in SK. so, yes, they were probably ahead of the time. cheers for Nick.
Great find! And its true SK was way ahead of its time
