Should there be in-game taxes on platinum?

[Izmael]

Every month or so, the server would collect a percentage of the platinum you own.

It could be only maybe 1% per month but it could play a role in reducing or reverting platinum inflation.

One could call it unclassic, but classic EQ required a subscription, and P99 doesn't. This could be a modern emulation of the classic sub model, aimed at reducing inflation and making it easier on the up-and-coming players to join the economy.

YES

TAX PLATINUM AND BUILD MORE SCHOOLS

TOO MANY FUCKING NOOBS

Casino bot would plat sink the server somewhat, equally unclassic though.

Casino bot ... unclassic

I don't think I've ever been as mad as Kushie on an internet forum, even in Youtube comments.

[Thiefboy777]

Yes but the top 1% should be taxed more of course.

I wish there was like a 5% tax on looted plat that went to guilds like DAOC.... supported your guild without really noticing it.

[Thulghor]

This is a dumb idea.

Yeah, a bunch of duped and dubiously exploited plat, early on, ended up messing with the economy, but it has mostly stabilized out a bit now, other than annoying stuff like 300k for epics, 30k for Cobalt Bracers (WTF? Are people actually paying this much for it?), and a few other bits of random weirdness. Taxing plat would be pointless. Yeah, inflation is bad, but we'll eventually get some market saturation of items going on.

Fuck it, I take it back, delete all the plat off of every character on the server. Kill the RMT crowd.

During the great Platinum Catastrophe of 2015, platinum from around the world (but strangely only the platinum already minted) suddenly vanished, leaving adventurers everywhere rebuilding their wealth.

I could get behind this.
