So true. Sweating as extreme sport can be fun - i still remember the Nea's sweating groups, it was kinda.. colorful and it was actually a lot of fun

Took and sweated a few atraxes the other day. My friend saw this and was seriously worried about my mental health.. and he's absolutely right - that's not a viable option, and it's not meant to be.

It's clear as a day that even the smallest possible way to make money will be overused and misused instantly... and the loss is not just the few PEC's - even bigger problem is the added server load - every move, every action of every avatar has to be synced with every other avatar in the visible distance.. a grade function, not a simple sum. And you can't make an exception to a group of sweaters in the left corner because they don't hep to pay the electricity bill!


But then, how can a newcomer try out the game?
The game that's being advertised "free to play"?
I don't think the perfect solution to this problem even exists. In the real world it's more like a trying to find the fragile balance point, and nobody will ever be happy with it.
