If MMORPG economies inflate because too much gold enters the system… the real question is: Why don’t developers remove more of it? Every monster killed, quest completed, and daily activity injects currency into the world. But unless that gold leaves the system at a similar rate, prices spiral. And that’s where gold sinks come in. What Is a Gold Sink? A gold sink is any system that permanently removes currency…
