The open world and currency.

[PowderMonkey]

Id like to suggest if the open world includes many regions such as the carribean, americas, indies, and the oreint to have diffrent currencys per region for a few very intuitive reasons.

 

Reason 1, there will be global inflation and deflation of currency that will bring merchants to diffrent markets with there goods and make "hotspots" of trade for privateers and waring factions to take advantage of.

 

Realisim, dureing these days currency was mostly converted into diffrent types of gold and silver but spanish gold was worth more at some points, makeing moguls of each currency viable and not a global money that will allow game bots to sell gold.

 

reason 3: gold spammers would have a difficult time selling currencies without rigging the markets makeing it harder for the economie to inflate so much that new players cant afford anything and makes even getting there first frigate a month long grind.

 

Anyhow its just a idea!

I quite like that idea. However it might be quite easy for a large group of players to lock down one of those economic zones.
