It was gained by abusing a glitch or unintended part of the game. And what I mean with the addition of buying in-game money isn't that it's inflation cause it was added, it's inflation cause if you compare the price of a certificate, with how much it would cost if you bought in-game money, you will see a very huge leap. The inflation is not something the devs created, nor does their prices reflect that to the same extent (perhaps only in 2 bedroom), but it can be seen in the economy that players have created.
Edit: Whether or not the inflation is an issue, I don't know. I feel like it is, but that's just my opinion.
Thank you!!! I can't seem to stress this enough. The concept/ subject of inflation I believe only exists in terms of premium codes being sold by players for in-game cash. To be frank, if not already said by me repeatedly, wouldn't the the whole inflation problem go away if we just removed/outlawed code selling? Afterwards, in order to better accommodate new players that need to catch up and earn money for housing, the devs could just add more games with better payouts.
Hmmm... when a 3 month code is bought with real cash they cost $25. At $400k each the exchange rate 16,000 MnF dollars per real cash dollar. Everyone does realize that MnF dollars are worthless so those of us who exchange codes for MnF dollars are essentially giving away a code in exchange for something that has no value? Now a person could buy MnF dollars from the game site to buy a code and they would spend 400 real dollars to do so but that would be pretty dumb considering they can buy a code for 25 real dollars with their credit card.
When volume code sellers stopped having fun being high rollers the source of codes dried up. It caused prices to go through the roof. This challenges the devs in my opinion as it forces them to introduce new ways to spend MnF cash and bring high rollers back into the game or back to their high rolling ways. Why? There are a lot of folks that aren't willing to spend 9.95 on a sex game per month and a lot more that can't have it on their credit card or don't have a credit card. The devs want to sell subscriptions so they have their work cut out for them.
We don't have an economy problem in my opinion as the price of goods never changes and nobody needs a house as its a luxury item. We have a segment of the player base that provides additional funds for the development of the game via being high rollers. The code prices will go down when you bring more of them back that have left for other venues. That will take more content and more things to spend money on. I am just trying to be honest. The game is a platform for player created fun and for some being a high roller has its appeal. As long as prices on existing goods remain the same and new regular content items remain similarly priced as luxury content is rolled out it shouldn't be a problem.
