New World Economy Update Takes A Look At PvP Gold And Inflation Control

New World Economy Update Q2 2024

Patrick, Joel, and Tony from the New World dev team are sitting down this week to talk about the New World economy. This episode of Forged in Aeternum is the 2024 Q2 quarterly economy update and, as boring as that sounds, it actually makes for some pretty interesting viewing if you're into the MMORPG.

The team starts out by looking back at the hot-button issues from the last episode and where the team landed on those. Changes to higher-end crafting and Chromatic Seals have helped boost the economy of higher-end materials in the game.

Maintaining coin value is of the utmost importance to the New World team, so controlling inflation is constantly at the top of the list when it comes to importance. The introduction of more T5II crafting nodes has been successful in bringing down the price and increasing the availability of Orichalcum in New World. This move also slightly increased the value of Mithril and is helping the team see players start to burn through their stockpiles of Mithril.

The team shows off some interesting graphs showing the incoming and outgoing gold in New World. They call it the faucet and sink, with the faucet representing incoming gold to the game, and the sink representing outgoing gold from the game. Right now there is slightly more gold coming into the game than players are spending into the sink, but it is currently a fairly healthy balance between the two.

Right now PvP accounts for about 1/5 of all wealth in the game. OPR is the main place players are getting coin from PvP. Expedition bosses are a bit on the heavy side at the moment, but some adjustments could be made to PvP income in the future. They also discuss if there's just a disconnect in the coin coming in for PvP, and if maybe it's coming in too small of chunks and players just aren't feeling like they're making money even if they actually are.

You can watch the entire New World: Forged In Aeternum video below as the team discusses all of this and more in this Economy Update.
