Addressing the NG Economy.

Date Jan 05, 2018 Views 10,485

 
Dear Shot Online Community,
 
During the last few years, we received increasing feedback about the amount of NG in the game and as a result rising Auction House prices.
 
We would like to address this today, with a solution being put in place starting June 2018.
 
Throughout the last year, we closely monitored many aspects of the game and how much NG is released. Improving the economy of Shot Online requires careful balance, a lot of number crunching and monitoring. There isn't such a thing as "the one" solution to it all.
 
In 2017, we limited the NG generation in many ways, one of which was the decision to not run as many NG events as we did previously. These changes lead to positive results and you may have noticed a slow improvement in Auction House prices.
 
However, we're not entirely satisfied with the speed of which our economy is recovering, as the many tweaks we tried so far appear to be more of a band-aid to the problem rather than a solution. Further to this, not running any NG Events has lead to (understandably) negative feedback from the community, so we definitely want to bring those back eventually.
 
We have therefore decided to take a more drastic measure as we've identified combined clothes to be the biggest culprit of "NG genaration" in Shot Online.
 
By adjusting the resell value of combined clothes, we not only reduce the amount of NG that is generated in the game, we also reap two more benefits: We improve the situation of "the rich getting richer" (by purchasing many Fashion Boxes, for example) and we also align ourselves closer to the game balance of other publishers of Shot Online, as we are the only ones who ever provided such a dramatic amount of NG for selling combined clothes.
 
On June 1st, 2018, we will reduce all clothes resell value by half. For example, if a certain piece of cloth has value of 1 billion NG, it will be reduced to 500 million, and so on. As a comparison and to put things into perspective, the German, French and Spanish publishers of Shot Online do not provide any NG for reselling combined clothes.
 
We understand this is a huge change, so we decided to give you time until June 1st 2018 to consider this change and decide what you would like to do with your combined clothes before that day.
 
While we know that there are many players who will appreciate our effort to improve our NG economy, we hope that those who do not agree with this keep in mind that we do this to ensure a long term stability of the server, its economy (in particular auction house prices) and fairness to all.
 
We understand that this topic might spark discussions, so we would appreciate if you could consolidate your feedback within the following forum thread. Our team will be monitoring this topic for your feedback.
 
Thank you and happy golfing!
 
Best Regards,
Your Shot Online Team
