About losing skills after sub...

[Zibo]

We are really careful to keep Tarantula extremely fair (for both donators and normal players) and balanced!

I fully agree. It is extremely fair indeed, because donating still doesn't give donators anything.

HELLO

If you want to make good balance between normal players and donators, DO NOT MAKE DONATOR COINS TRADEABLE, really as an old player I know how DC changed the economy to whole server and later became the main currency on the server.

The reason was not the donator coins but the inflation of adena.
Adena became fast worthless as it was dropping too much and too fast and when we noticed that we was already beyond the turning point.
On tarantula we are much more careful on that (that's why the stepper curve in the dynamic rates) as we prefer make adena maintain his value.

Thats not the whole truth I feel.

Dunno about Dragon, but on infinity the economy was healthy until summer 2007 when it got hit by hlapex exploit and tons of adeans were duped. It happened really fast. Week when it got widespread and it was doomed. That got never fixed even tho we even had community meetings suggesting most fair way of fixing ( I know I was there, but Huristic could not do it and you did not come to help us )... and half the community left. Me including. Adeans were so worthless that people had to use dony coins cause you could not pay in adena anymore. Thats how it happened, not by dropping from mobs.

So far Tarantula has been doing fine and Whole DN administration is doing better then ever. So... I guess this time, if we experience similar exploit, you will be here to... help us. Right? Well I'm sure about it.  just wanted to mention that on infi the economy failed from week to another after being healthy for 2 years cause of exploit, not wrongly set rates.

+1 for this, I don't want to end having to used DC for buy stuff :|

This and the adena exploits maked Infinity to lose all the people that worked hard.

[Enzo]

Yes, even worse as they are enchanted (higher magic level = higher level required for subclassing without lose them) (it applies the usual rule 10 level difference)
