Buying Diamonds in VIP spawn
« on: 10 Jul 2013, 11:20:30 »
Earlier today I was walking around VIP spawn and saw that to buy 1 diamond it cost 400 nubs!
 I do understand that since its an Adminshop that there is an unlimited supply (I think) But 400 for 1? that's a little bit outrages. I would buy them if they were between 200-275 (average price of a diamond)

 But then I walked back to the Entrance And it says 'cheaper items and sell then for more than the global shop' I guess the prices have fluctuated drastically Could this price be changed? For the end of v5 or for future uses in v6? any other VIP's or retired VIP's agree?

I've always thought the point of having Diamond available at VIP is to have them available for VIPs even at times when the overall Diamond supply is low. It wasn't meant to be a normal-price buy during times when there is Diamond in the market. Because if so, it's like we'd have infinite Diamonds, and mining them would be pointless.

And having the opportunity to sell Wheat and Seeds at VIP for more money than normal kinda makes up for it too.

These prices were set at the start of V5, or whenever the VIP market was introduced, where everything was 2-3 times the price they are currently.

Because V6 is so close, I am pretty sure the Admins wont bother to change it in this version, but if the VIP Market is still a thing in V6, I am sure they will change it to the new economy that is being introduced then.

During the start of v5 Diamonds were traded and sold at between 2,000-3,000 and slowly decreased in price as the supply went up. This is something we are going to try keep and eye on in v6 and we have tools put in place to monitor the values of items. The tools will enable us to reduce the supply, which will therefore increase player demand and raise the worth of an item. We have ways to lower prices also if they inflate.
