some people ask me why i push so much and do such futile things.some people say its just a game relax don't take it so serious.some people say all things must come to a end.some people just don't care but these are my reasons for pushing so hard.
i don't expect this game to last forever and i don't expect to play it long enough to find out.i love DOMO very much but its only a part of my life it is not the focus nor the main part of it.i come here to enjoy myself and relax get away from my real life issues for just a bit.i meet lots of friends and enjoying coming back nearly each and every day.
i do what i can to try and nudge the gm or just making people socially aware of what may eventually happen.i look at the economy now its on a steady decline on onyx at least.nothing is going up in value just down the only perms worth a lot of cash are fresh new ones.when the item mall gives unlimited quality perms at highly affordable prices then they inject more than enough into the server.i remember black school being 1.2mil before the first rotation of vent its low point was 350k and now is becoming more stable at around 300-450k which is a sad affair in itself.now when you say so what big whoop i got what i wanted and payed little to nothing to get it but the fact is when a item is made that widely available that everyone has it and nobody wants it anymore its promotional value is gone.
black school can no longer be promoted for high amount successfully cause very few people will actually pay for it outside of the game with the massive surplus keeping the price so low.now this may be OK with one perm but when this happens to more and more we shall see the market continually drown itself and the only thing keeping up is whats brand new.eventually items will have a recovery after so long when the populations grown larger that there will be a demand again but it will only be so big.so when things stop having a value and it becomes less and less worth the AP,sales drop.eventually when sales are too low or are not enough Aeria games will close DOMO since its not provided as a free service but as a sponsored game via our donations.
now thats just my doomsday theory for DOMO here.i know i will one day say good bye to DOMO even if its weeks,days or months from now it will eventually close.i try cause i don't want to see it end in days,weeks or months if it can be avoided.there's no reason or need to drive the economy into the ground.we can make profit and still keep the game progressing a long time for now if the methods are indeed changed for the better.like instead of the rotation lasting 2 weeks per costume but maybe 1 week or even if the premium or more demanded perms were set to limited daily quantities to prevent over flooding to keep its market ability worthwhile.its not hard to keep balance between in game economy and Aeria games profits we just need to change how things are done.
so this is why i try,i try to create change now so things will never end cause of the economy running into the ground.i try cause this is a part of my life right now and i enjoy being a part of this community.i try cause i cant stand to sit back and watch as it crumbles slowly.i cant do anything on my own truly,i need more people crusading for a better system even if its not overly convenient like the current one.i do this so there's balance and not to let things be put to ruin cause no one cares as long as they get what they want for cheap.
a lot of people comment about my reasoning as if I'm a child in never land,never wanting to grow up or grow old.i really don't feel thats how i am i know this game will end and it may even be before i am done with it but i just don't want it to end over something so stupid that it could have been avoided.we all grow up and this game wont mean anything but time we wasted long ago but for right now this is where i am and i don't like the way things are being done so i try to make the smallest of differences cause the simplest and smallest differences can do worlds of good.
thats all i can say right now,take from it what you will
Its worth it

a lot of what you said sounds similar to things i posted in your first blog, about why we need to keep at least some items rare, or at least uncommon, if we hope to keep a stable economy. even if it seems futile to some people, not saying anything will guarantee nothing changes. Plus theres the fact that you DO know the GMs hear you, at least sometimes... at least one comment on your blog, and regularly on the item mall feedback forum. its not completely futile, and if you know they hear one thing, theyre likely to hear the rest... itd be hard to just pick-and-chose to read some stuff and "purposely" avoid reading the more drastic stuff, because they dont know which is which until they read it.
trying to make the community and game a better place while your here is a worthwhile goal. its sorta the same as life... you can make changes, add things, take things away, but eventually you will die. trying to affect the game is much the same right now... your only playing for a limited time, but you want it to be the most fun while you do play, and your suggestions are your way of trying to improve things.
