I am here today, to address you, as one concerned citizen to another, about the growing crisis that faces our server.
Sahya face unparalleled challenges, as our economy is on the brink of fiscal collapse...
With each passing month, the value of our hard-earned adena grows weaker against the ancient adena.
Many of our brethren have moved to other servers, reducing the population of our server's hard-working domestic labor force. This weakens our economy by reducing our capacity to gather and produce domestic goods and resources. Our economy is further weakened by losing valuable consumers of said goods.
I believe we can stimulate the economy in several ways.
* Tax cuts: Let's reduce the prices of basic goods and services. With reduced prices on such basic materials, finished products can go down in price, increasing demand and consumption of said goods.
* Incentives: Let's put adena into people's pockets. If they have more adena in their inventory, they will feel more motivated in purchasing goods, which helps stimulate the economy. How do we promote this? I propose the return of real, non-common item drops, to compliment the current common-only drop rates. It helps encourage our citizens to work, and can add much needed goods or money to increase their livelihood.
* Health-care: I propose a server-wide health care package, where the government helps provide more for the population, while reducing cost to each citizen. I am talking about tax-exemptions on healing potions, elixirs of life, bandages, poison remedies, etc. I am talking about 24x7, year-round availability of greater healing potions. Let's make health care available to all.
Sahya produces goods and services second to none. But our economy, the very livelihood of our server, hangs in the balance, if we cannot compete against other, more prosperous servers.
We need to work hard, tighten our belts... put our blood, sweat and tears into stabilizing our economy. But I believe in the spirit of the Sayha citizen.
I will reach across racial lines.... work hand in hand with the light elf and dark elf, the dwarf and the orc, the winged and the non-winged.... to help bring confidence back to the Sahya server, it's economy, and most importantly, it's population.

When those server wars come along I expect us to be trounced. I'd like to see the end of the stupid gatekeeper teleport fees. They are ridiculously high and suck hard earned adena out of the economy for no reason other than an adena sink as if we did not have 1 million other things to spend it in game.
The CEOs have left their jobs with billions of dollars. The working class citizens like us got nothing.
Jobs are being stolen from us by Chinese cheap labor. They can work 24/7 and do not require food/water for months.
So my question to you, Mr. Kokoro, is how would you stop this from happening?
That is an excellent question.
As the daughter of an impoverished light-elf mother and a delinquent dark-elf father, I have known the hardship of poverty.
I remember going into the big cities, looking at the various shops, and constantly finding myself with not enough adena to provide for myself.
I have known the struggles of trying to eek out a meager living with ill-equipped gear well below my grade. My family had to use government-sponsored programs, such as receiving shadow weapons in D and C grade. I would like to see such programs extended into B and A grade, to help our citizens who cannot afford such gear, to be able to continue to remain active contributors to society. I would like to see such social programs extended to armor, as well as weapons. This can help reduce the our dependence on foreign adena.
I also propose the availability of A grade common gear in the NPC luxury shop. Top B grade as well.
I also wish to promote recycling, by expanding the Blacksmith of Mammon's weapon exchange ability to include A grade weapons, and shadow weapons D to A grade.
Change is coming to Sahya. But change does not come easy. We have to work together, hand in hand, to make change a reality.

Can you add to that the rediculous warhousing fees on freights we need to pay as well...It's bloody our trunk :p
Oh and btw could we get better chances at getting books available for the higher leveled scholars? They are getting behind on their education because the local fauna is refusing to collaborate on the trade of rare and exclusive scriptures for master scholars in the arts of wizardry, healership and mystic knowledge of arcanes.
I would like to see vitality be changed when you go from your main to your sub and back.. and your wh item amount to work together so when you change your main to your sub. Yes I know you can buy proofs.. but needs to be automatic to accomadate :)
