MMO designed based on circular flow instead of sinks and faucets

Circular Flow for Game Economies

The circular flow model is an economic model that describes the flow of money, goods, and services between households and firms in an economy. In a tycoon game, we believe the circular flow model can be used to create a more realistic and dynamic economy.

In traditional MMO games, the economy is often modeled as a "sinks and faucets" system. You usually earn in-game currency through faucets like quests or mob drops, can trade an utilize this currency to craft and exchange with other players, and then at the end this currency is burned through "sinks" like NPC fees, taxes, death penalties, or premium costs.

The circular flow model is different from the sinks and sources system in several ways. First, instead of money flowing to players primarily from the game itself, the game encourages players to earn the majority of their money by filling the needs of the market, and by extension the needs of other players.

Benefits of using the Circular Flow Model

We believe there are several benefits to using the circular flow model in tycoon games. These benefits include:

• More realistic economy: The circular flow model creates a more realistic economy by allowing for money to be saved and invested, and by allowing for the in-game government to be involved in the economy in a more fair way. This makes the economy more complex and challenging to play, and it also makes it more realistic to the real world.

• More dynamic economy: The circular flow model creates a more dynamic economy by allowing for the flow of money to change over time. This is because the amount of money that is saved and invested can change, and changes to one sector can have far reaching knock-on effects. This makes the economy more unpredictable and challenging to play, offering more engagement for players

• More opportunities for player choice: The circular flow model gives players more opportunities to make choices that affect the economy. For example, if players see an inefficiency in the current market, or believe they can foresee a trend appearing, they can immediately capitalize on this. This gives players more control over the game, making it more challenging and rewarding.
