This is an opinion based topic open for discussion. Simply put, where do you see things sitting in the 2.0 economy. Such as; Tool prices , per hour profits , what would be considered "rich", what do you think the overall meta will be, do you think builder towns will make a comeback , what do you feel the state of player run shops will be with the removal of ECC and God tools?
Personal opinion - I am hoping to see ECC return to what it was like when I first joined. 50k days feeling like you've made a decent profit (outside of Sunday's of course where you'll make most your money assuming you are part of the "2%" magic owners). I see towns being a lot more active and people relying on eachother more like when I joined. It will be great to see people having to work together to prosper. I feel like mining world is going to be chaos and everyone will be fighting over ores haha. Farms could make a hefty comeback as its easy to get one going and start making a profit. I don't see casinos being big at the start as not many will have the profits for it. Fishing and mining I see being most peoes start for ranking up. Star tools will be far and few between and may even actually be worth something. .
I hope that ECC2.0 will be similar to what you have mentioned. I’m hoping there will be a market for towns being bought and sold. I hope that new shops will raise. But only time will tell. a side note: it’ll be nice seeing new people join without being showered with ECC and quoting a few hours later.
I think there will be a return to star tool rentals and loans. PB farming and Mining will be popular again. There will be a good market for towns, in fact it was big until last year. Consider shops being rented and sold in places such as /warp air or /warp motherboard (I think that's the name) just like it was before. People will have to work more together as a team. Casinos will be a good way to make money, because everybody likes gambling and we, casino owners, will have to adjust the prices to the new economy. Since we will be able to use magic pickaxe on Sunday, I expect a nerf to iron ore prices, otherwise it will be the best way to make money.
