Oh, c'mon. Give it a chance. It can't be that bad. And we need a change around here (money wise, that is).

But it also evens out the people that have been here forever and the people that are new. It's an undoing of the "class" system. It's drastic, but I understand it.

Progress as in money collecting in our bank accounts that we have no use for? ;)

Money is disposable- the items aren't so progress in that aspect isn't lost.

And I consider progress to be the relationships made on the ToO through conversations held here- the items-money-and games are secondary to that, it's a community and the main aspect of it is the people- not the features...so in essence no we don't lose all progress over the past two years. ;)

This is indeed a most drastic measure. I can see, however, how it is necessary. :D I second J-man's statement...
May Zarkouni Live Forever! :goomba:
Well, Washington has been gratuitously compensated like forever by the credit companies.

We're definitely not happy about having to do this, but- as J-man stated, it had to be done sometime.

So basically, we should spend all our money by the 12th?

So....

You reset our money and then give us a new and more organized system of earning money. I like your start but it still doesn't fix the problem long term. In the end, we will still have a steady income with no pressing needs on our budget...

Can I assume this will be addressed in future moves (as you hinted to) or will there continue to be no negative cash flow in the new ToO economy :mad:

(EDIT: I just made 4 worthless dollars =D>)

Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bare my blame

The ED will essentially fix that plus there's a low salary limit so we can control it through contests items and events better...
