True, it makes it harder to advance. However, there appears to still be an attainable goal and once a member reaches that goal, he will have nothing he is required to pay.
Please don't get me wrong, I think the idea of making you really work hard for your degrees is awesome and I do like the system. I just think we need something more. Members need to be charged for something they do regularly, not just obtaining things.
I get what you mean- but I would hope by the time they reach that last degree- they would want to buy unnecessary items for the fun of it....but we will probably have some safeguards in place by the time someone gets all of the degrees.
You could charge a tax for every month (or some other time period) you have an item that is necessary. And/or you could charge a tax for any degrees you get.

This way people have to keep on paying.
Just an idea.
Socialist!
The ToO is kind of a form of socialism- the items are all made by the admins.
Well okay not really socialism as you can make money other ways. >_>
Maybe for certain jobs or once you're out of college, you should be required to buy a car or apartment or house that you have to make payments on... (though that might be a difficult system to implement....)

If we keep that part of the plan then yes. But you will have the option to buy it back- the prices are subject to change though...it seems a little high for a custom job doesn't it?
I'm going to try to ask this the nicest way I can, but how in blue blazes do you get a work permit. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on. I've been her since the beginning and to have to start over again doesn't seem to be quite right. I know you're trying to level out the playing field, but it seems like you're penalizing those who accumulated for lack of a better term money since the beginning. I know it's all for fun and everything, but I feel like things were changed too quickly and that may be only because I'm not on here as often as I use to be, but that's my personal feeling. I seriously don't feel things were explained well.
I may be alone in thinking this, but this is just how I am feeling about this whole process. Knowing me I'll eventually get use to this, but right now things are just too confusing.
Imagine my shock when I logged in and went to my Vault, only to find it empty. I thought, well, maybe there was some massive board wide deletion and they'll fix mine if I let them know...
There goes the nest egg.
Soooo what happens to people who don't really post that much anymore, but still had enough money (before the change of our economic system, and btw, was there a vote on that?) for all their needs/wants/philanthropic urges?
IE, WHAT???!!!
