Had thought about setting up a thread like this of my own, but nice to have someone else handle the moderation
One thing that has impressed me is the variable economic models at play in CK. For example, gold (CKG) is limited to roughly 1,000,000 units permanently. There is a trading item, HM02B100, which represents the value of 100 CKG. It is currently trading at roughly, 2.25mil M (note: M is the in-game currency). Some items, such as jewelry have gold in them, meaning that they have a certain "base" value in relation to the amount of CKG used in their production. During the pause, for example, I acquired some collectible and jewelry items purely for their gold value, as they traded roughly in line with the prevailing price per CKG, or at a discount. If needed, I can "smelt" these items back into CKG, though that would destroy the item in the process.
