Personally I don't like the energy system either.

I've tried to get alot of my friends to play but as soon as they heard about it they started flipping out and didn't even bother trying to play the game.

I do not like the idea of running dungeons powered by CE, I'd rather do it purely on mist energy which takes quite a long time to regenerate.

Honestly, I wish that extra ME would be converted into CE when you're at 100 so you can use it later to either craft items or dungeon, or have like actual mist tanks that would store extra mist energy (think megaman X) and that would make me so much more happier.

Reason for this is that there are some days that I don't get to play and the idea that all that ME going to waste just bugs me.

I suspect it would be a lot easier to crash the real world economy right now than it would to crash the CE market. I'm not sure that anyone knows how much it would take or even how many active players there are.

So many figures quoted, does anyone have solid data to back them up? 1 million registered players? does that include alts and inactives? looking at the steam achievements, I'd say that it would probably be very generous to say that 10% of the steam players are still actively playing.

Whatever the figures, it does seem that you'd need a lot of players with a lot of crowns and /or CE to make a significant dent in the market as pretty much anyone that sees the price drop will take full advantage of the cheap prices. If you don't have enough CE to outgun the heavy hitters and everyone else trying to get a bargain, then you fail.

ME going to waste?, try crafting 2* items then selling them

My friends makes a lot of moneybbybselling frost breaker shields.he gets ten thousand crowns everyday when he's in tier one.he stopped selling frost breaker shield after he got the stuff he wanted.

Given that the OP appears to have abandoned the project and the apparent sheer scale of the SK economy, the current ETA for the crash is the moment Hell freezes over.

I'm talking about Hell in the theological sense of an afterlife where evil people go, usually described as being very hot with burning brimstone etc , which would seem highly unlikely to freeze over unless it's subject to the theoretical possible entropy/heat death of the universe, which would still be a VERY VERY LONG time. Also I mean the whole of Hell, not just part of it, for any smart alec comments about the 9th circle of Hell already being frozen.

I am not talking about any of the various places called Hell (including towns in Norway and Michigan that may freeze over in a few months time)

Of course I could be wrong or it may even have happened already but you just didn't notice ;)

Maybe his team is just busy stockpiling CE during surge weekend, i wanna see this happen

i would assume, if the project is still going on, the "crash" will happen somewhat unexpectedly.

They might have already tried, but since this is a terrible and impossible idea [because economics] it inevitably failed and went unnoticed.

I hope I can catch on on this...I never get more than 0ce...unless I buy it just for crafting...in which case I stock up...then are left with under 1K cr...and 200 ce..then 500cr, 0 energy and a new weapon...

/cries pathetically...

For this plan to work, you'd need something equating to the Starling Guild (see: C - The Money of Soul and Possibility Control; great economics anime).
