Heres an idea :-)

Lets not give any new money at all out. Lets just start out with nothing. No incentives to anyone. Let it all be a come as you are with nothing in hand and let the money fall where it will fall. Let each new person just go in and decide how SL is without anything at all. That should really be an interesting scenario.Why give anything to anybody.It should all be a come as you are pay if you want MMO.That way you have nothing more to take away problem solved. No new money so then the L$'s can rise as high as wanted.Phillip Linden is brilliant IMO NOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!.SL is a player driven game let it be player driven including the economy.Keep your hands out of catering to the few and not the masses Phillip Linden.

Yes, yes. Then rename the game "Titanic."

I think I see a glacier up ahead.

In theory, It seems like a good idea, but being new to SL, as you will know is a bewildering experience, and I doubt it would be made any better if you were thrown into the new world pennyless. One could argue that similar systems have been set up, like in Project Entropia, but to my knowledge, however, currency transactions are handled directly via the game company itself, so the market is not open to change.

There does need to be some way to inject new currency into the economy to keep abreast with growth in population.
